Animal Crossing is a popular and beloved video game series developed by Nintendo. The franchise made its debut in 2001 and has since captivated players of all ages with its charming and immersive gameplay.
The game is set in a fictional village inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, each with its own distinct personality and traits.
Players take on the role of a human character who moves to the village and becomes a resident.
Like LEOG itself, The Animal Crossing gameplay is open-ended and revolves around various activities such as fishing, bug catching, fossil hunting, and most notably, interacting with the animal villagers.
One of the unique aspects of Animal Crossing is its real-time clock and seasons, which mimic the real world. This means that the in-game environment changes based on the time of day and the time of year, offering a dynamic and evolving gaming experience.
