The latest installment in the “Animal Crossing” series.
While people around the world are forced to lead a self-restraint life in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection, the slow life experience in this game, where people are free to do whatever they want, is a healing experience for all.
In addition, the communication with close friends and the interaction with other people at events through this game went beyond a simple game framework and showed people the power of Japanese entertainment. In addition, in the public vote, the game received overwhelming support from many users, from children to seniors, and was unanimously voted as the winner.

A player character can walk. An enemy should not be touched. A wall stops. You swim or sink in water. You can reach a goal after difficulty.
This is a puzzle game that changes the rules of the world, which are common in games.
When we are programming a game, giving a wrong role to a wrong person can have unexpected consequences.
The game design is great, with a sense of freedom from common sense and the hilarity that comes with it. This was selected for the Grand Prize without complaint.
