At first glance, the island of Leah Whitta looks colorful and shiny, with stems of colorful flowers arranged in the middle of a wooden walk. Only when you cross a small bridge and see all the main topics where you get the idea that something is wrong.
"The cemetery equals a medal and a fine," Leah told Polygon on TV DMs.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a game about solving an island, and you can customize your new home to have any attractions. The fans have created everything from cozy cafes and community parks to scattered gardens and well-planned trees. In time, beloved animal companions are able to get out, and be replaced with new and friendly faces. While the game is still very manageable, some fans like to do some very dark experiences, which may explain why some players don't let the villagers out. They create "fasting" places in which they travel a lot.
As an Animal Crossing fan, Leah loved and disliked the villagers. Those who did not pass were included, and when Leah complained to Isabelle about their behavior (a tactic later revealed to be inactive), she paid attention to them, and used Amiibo cards. When they came out, they each found a tombstone in the corner and southeast of his island.
In the case of Leah, other citizens, such as Chèvre the goat and the French penguin were lovely, but not worth keeping. Other stones highlight the triumphs of problematic citizens, such as Benedict the chicken, which was sometimes the subject of conflict, or characters with strange personality types. Megan the bear, Leah says, had a "unlawful killing" vibe, and was totally concerned with Leah's sleeping habits. Notably – and perhaps most controversially – one of the occupants insists that it is Audie, the wolf named after a grandmother who loves Animal Crossing.
"I really enjoy the internet online because of the story (of Audie & # 39; s back)," Leah admits, "but oh god it upset me so much."
Leah's efforts and frustrations – it took her days to make the sensation that hit Audie in – didn't go unnoticed. While she emphasized that she was very kind in her exchanges and building her own houses, her husband, Gary Whitta, couldn't help but laugh at her. "My wife is mentally and physically abusive to her (Animal Crossing) until they leave her island and choose a stone for the ever-growing grave," Gary whispered to Twitter.
But to Leah's credit, her expelled guests have found beautiful homes through Facebook groups or other islands for family members. Now the only indication that they ever lived on the island is a cemetery. In this case, Leah is not alone.
For fans who want to make the most of the island's stunning beauty, New Horizons provides many tools. Graffones, black roses, metal fences, and weeds are all essential elements for creating a beautiful, ghostly environment. And everything is well used by New Horizons The devotees who built the tombs of the ancient people.
For some fans, the graveyard thing is playing out among them in the early days of his hometown. Jen Takeda, another New Horizons player, started with the intention of owning a cats' village only. While playing, he saw a boulder, and was surprised by such a black object in the cheery game. After that, he was inspired to find a way to use it. Fortunately for me, that comes around when Teddy, an ordinary citizen, asks if he should leave. Jen said yes – she only wanted cats, and Teddy argued with that plan.
"Everything was clicking from there to make him a grave," Jen said on Twitter's DM. “I knew I had no dark humor, and to find a way to remember what my island was like,” he adds. Because of the iconic image, she will stay on her island to some extent, even if it is very subjective.
Based on Polygon's conversations with the players who built the cemetery for the elderly, the practice is not as flattering as it may seem – it's actually fun. Jofie, another New Horizons The player, tells Polygon, that the cemetery provides a space to remember the locals who touched him along the way. "I didn't want to forget them, because they have been such an important part of my experience for a while," she tells Polygon.
For fans like Jen, the cemetery is not just a place, it's an experience. In a photo shared on social media, you can look at an old cat player wearing stunning black dresses, as if attending a funeral.
"RIP Teddy, he was a violent man," he wrote in the caption, who painted a simple drawing of Teddy looking at his weeping man. I already needed more cats. ”
