Acorn Moon

The acorn's game — the sibling to Salmon Run. A cozy, no-fail Takelma first-food harvest: you work the foodway as five felt little rites, and the moon comes in fuller the better you tend the work. Here are the five screens, captured from the build.

What it is

  • The other half of the paired first foods — acorn and salmon, the two subjects of this land's renewal.
  • Cozy, no-fail, read-aloud, for young children. No ads, no purchases.
  • A quiet learning engine underneath — oak & fire ecology, taught by doing.

What's built

  • The full five-rite foodway on real painterly scenes.
  • Forked from Return of the C'waam; its own standalone monorepo.
  • Every fact pinned to a public source register — nothing about ceremony invented.
