Animal Crossing
Turnip market simulator
Animal Crossing is a Nintendo video game franchise where players live in a village populated by anthropomorphic animals, decorating homes, catching bugs, fishing, and building relationships with neighbors.
The games run on real-world time—seasons change, shops close at night.
Known for its gentle, open-ended gameplay without traditional goals: I've been playing Animal Crossing to relax after work.
