Coming soon from Flaming Acorn games
Villainville
What do you get when Stardew Valley meets Shrek?
Villainville is a cozy farming sim with a twist–the town where the PC has moved is made up of failed fairy tale villains and over-zealous heroes, in a world where the Organization of Fairy Godmothers are the real bad guys.
The godmothers say the villainous islanders’ misery is exactly what they deserve. Moreover, all the evidence points to the current plague of misery mushroom being started by an islander–a traitor from within. But why would an islander do that, and were they acting alone? That’s what the PC will have to find out…but it won’t be easy, since on an island full of failures and villains, everyone is hiding something. Can the player heal the island and prove to the godmothers that even outcasts deserve a happily ever after?
✓ engaging characters, Responsive mystery

With a player responsive narrative that offers five different misery mushroom suspects and multiple possible endings, Villainville will have high replayability.
Thanks to an innovative narrative system, the player will find the NPCs to be endlessly engaging, as well as helpful to the PC as they build up the world.
