Animal crossing DS: fucked up.


The Terrible secret of animal crossing is a story crafted loosely from the plot and screenshots of animal crossing ds. Now- animal crossing is a game where you don't do anything. Much like the sims, you live your life in this world where you are friends with all these other animals in this town. You are supposed to spend the game buying things, interacting with all the different animals to make friends, and making your house look good so you can win best house competitions and stuff like that. There never really is an end that i know of, just different stuff to buy. I never really saw the appeal. The full magnitude of what I was playing struck me when i was spending my time writing a letter to a lamb when i actually had a letter to write to someone I actually know.

TTSOAC takes this bright innocent gameplay and weaves a horror tale around it. Having only played some of Animal crossing, i can vouch for the beginning. They didn't really change much. Though, i suspect that the end has been slightly tweaked.

This got linked to me before a long time ago and i didn't read it. It is long, and generally video game nerds think they are way more funny then they actually are. But honestly- give it a shot. It even has audio narration if you don't want to read it.
