Charles Cecil, creator of the hugely popular Broken Sword franchise, has been announced as the executive producer on Pewter Games’ hand-drawn graphic adventure game The Little Acre.

Curve Digital will publish the game on PC, Xbox One and PS4 later this year.

The Little Acre is set in 1950s Ireland and follows the story of Aidan and his young daughter, Lily.

“Investigating the sinister disappearance of his father, Aidan finds himself transported to a strange new world populated by bizarre creatures,” explains the game’s blurb. “Things are not helped when young Lily decides that she is going to ‘help’ and encounters her own perils along the way.”

Cecil’s role has been to use his experience to help shape the later stages of development, and is the first time he has accepted an exec producer role.

“When I first saw The Little Acre, I was blown away by the game’s beauty and attention to detail,” said Charles Cecil. “I was delighted to discover how much of an influence Broken Sword had had on The Little Acre and was enormously flattered when Chris and Ben asked me to act as Executive Producer. “It’s a game I would have been extremely proud to have written myself and I am very excited to be building a relationship, and friendship, with a very talented young development team.”
