The cat’s out of the bag
PC players will soon be able to experience some of thatAnimal Crossing-esque village life without having to shell out for a Nintendo console. The cosy simHokko Lifewill have you start fresh in a new town called Hokko, where you can make friends with loads of talking animal pals, catch bugs and fish, work on your interior design skills, and live a lovely peaceful life. It looks delightful, and it comes out in early access on June 2nd.
Hokko Life has loads in common with Animal Crossing. Number one: it’s cute. Plus it has talking animals that tell you useful things about the town, as well as seasonal changes, gardening and decorating features and tons more.

In some areas, though, it’s a little more detailed than Nintendo’s charming life sim. For example, Hokko Life’s crafting system lets you edit and hand-design furniture, then place your creations wherever you want, and (crucially) at whatever angle you want. It might not sound like a huge deal, but when you’re trying to decorate your perfect town, it’s nice not to be limited to perfect right-angles all the time. While it doesn’t look like the game will have any form of multiplayer just yet, you will be able to share your crafting designs with other players.
Judging from the new trailer, it seems like you furry villagers will have little quests for you here and there as well. I’ve always liked that sort of thing in these cutesy sims, as I get bored when all there is to do is go fishing (not to knock fishing, of course, asit can have the best minigames).
I have to say, I’m excited for this one. I can already see it sparkingthe sort of creativity that Animal Crossing: New Horizons didlast year, and I’m very ready for some more homely village life.
