Animal Crossing: New Horizons is melting the hearts of Nintendo gaming fans worldwide.
Since the highly-anticipated game was released last week it has caused a surge in sales of the popular Switch console.
New Horizons takes the best elements from Animal Crossing’s 20 years of history and distills it into an expansive slice-of-life simulator that warms the soul.
And a much-needed distraction during these uncertain times caused by the Covid-19 outbreak lockdown.
In New Horizons, villagers are offered the chance to sign up for a “getaway package” on a deserted island presented by Tom Nook - a money hungry racoon.
As far as Animal Crossing’s story goes, that’s about it.
Players are free to roam their village, set about daily tasks like weeding and watering flowers as well as cataloguing the local fauna in the form of bug catching and fishing.
Animal Crossing operates on a regular calendar and clock, meaning that events within the game happen in real time.
In summer players can expect to see flowers in full bloom and in the winter months there will be plenty of snow with seasonal events taking place on notable days throughout the year - such as Easter and Christmas.
Social media has seen plenty of memes and clips of the game as users set up a new life on a desert island, decorating their houses and interacting with new arrivals.
