A Play in the Life... of Animal Crossing

Making Money

I am expected to do manual labor for the fat rat if I want to own my house.

This is something I find a little funny about the progression of Animal Crossing as a franchise. They’ve taken a lot of steps over the years to make Tom Nook seem like a much nicer guy, enough so that even I had some rose-colored glasses about his behavior in the first game. I didn’t recall that the tutorial is actually him forcibly employing you!

Since I don’t have a choice in the matter, let’s try to get this over with as quickly as possible. As soon as I started the game, I grabbed as much fruit as I could, preparing for the time-honored tradition of selling all the fruit in my village for pocket change.

There’s just one problem…

Ugh. Fine.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME
