Here Song Ren also handed the switch in his hand to Zhang Yi and Wang Han.

Let everyone get started and experience it.

"I feel like this game should be quite interesting to play in leisure time." Wang Han said hello to the small animals on the island and said with some emotion.

Especially after helping these little animals choose a house before, these little animals even gave gifts.

And each animal seems to have a different personality, and they are all different.

You can also get a glimpse of it from the screens of some players who are also playing "Animal Forest" nearby.

"It seems that the game is calculated on a daily basis. There are not many things that can be done on the first day, and some things will be unlocked on the second day." Joey next to him also expressed his own opinion.

"Well, I feel like this game needs to be played for a long time, not a fast food game." Wang Yifan next to him also chimed in.

Because a lot of information can be obtained from the few words of small animals such as Nook.

That is, many contents in the game need to be unlocked through days.

"But the main task now is to pay off the loan as soon as possible, so that we can happily live on the uninhabited island!" Zhang Yi said next to him.

"Yes, it feels so uncomfortable to be in debt. Hurry up and work to pay back the money!" Song Ren also echoed.

"Sure enough, this is a game that only macho men should play. It's so sad to start working to make money!" Zhang Yi joked.

"Haha, from being in debt to being a house slave, I don't know if I will need a loan to build a house in the future. I think I thought they were in the real estate business, right?" Song Ren also laughed.

The macho man is alone on an island. The big company controls all the resources on the island. As a macho man, the player inexplicably has to bear the mortgage loan.

Of course, this sounds miserable, but the actual experience when playing is completely different.

Because of the macho men in the game, even though they had just arrived on the island, they owed a large amount of mortgage to Nook.

But with the experience during the game, you will soon find that this NPC named Nuke is actually quite easy to talk to.

And the most critical point is that this mortgage has no repayment date.

"There is no interest and no repayment date, so in theory, as long as we are thick-skinned, we can never pay back the money!" Song Ren summed up an answer based on his own gaming experience.

"It seems, that's indeed the case!" Zhang Yi next to him also nodded.

"So it would be great if this could be the case in reality!" Song Ren said with some emotion.

"Stop dreaming. In reality, you will become an old man. You will be restricted from travelling, go to jail, and get a three-pack of house auctions to find out." Zhang Yi, who was standing next to him, glanced at Song Ren and ruthlessly broke this illusion.

Although "Animal Forest" is a game that will never have an ending, it is a game that players can keep playing as long as they want.

But there is also some early guidance.

For example, tell players how to make tools.

In the game, Song Ren and the others soon made tools such as fishing rods.

Then start fishing on the river.

"Haha, I knew that fishing is an indispensable part of most games." Song Ren couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the fishing rod in the game.

"There are also trees cut down, but it seems that trees cannot be cut down in "Animal Forest"." Zhang Yi said from the side.

"It should be a collection of materials." Wang Han interjected.

In fact, these trees can be cut down in "Animal Forest", but you need a new DIY manual to upgrade the axe.

But now Zhang Yi and the others obviously don't know.

While fishing and cutting down trees, I met two other small animals to communicate and exchange feelings.

But Song Ren soon discovered a problem, that is, after almost half an hour, after collecting five different items through fishing, and helping Fu Da, the curator of the museum, set up the tent, there was not much to play. .

Working under Nook, who looks cute but is actually a real estate tycoon, he works part-time to repay the loan.

Many players want to make a fool of themselves and pay off their mortgages as soon as possible.

But as some simple goals given to players in the early stages of the game were completed, they discovered that there would be no new content.

Including the house built for Fu Da, it will take a certain amount of time to complete.

In the meantime, Nook gave the players a bag of flower seeds, which also required time to plant.

In addition, the time in the game is linked to reality, so a very strange situation arises.

That is, some players feel that they are interested and want to continue to work hard and pay back the loans.

But I found that there is not much content left.

"There seems to be nothing left to play in this game!"

"Yeah, it seems it won't be unlocked until the next day."

"Ah, I seem to have seen Nook's future plan. After the mortgage is paid off, it won't increase and the amount will eventually change from 49,000 to 490,000, right?"

Some players who played the game "Animal Forest" in the exhibition area shared their feelings with each other.

It didn’t feel like much at first, but when I was chopping down trees, fishing, and catching insects, why did it feel like my time had been stolen

But that's it, it feels like the game has hooked them.

Suddenly there was nothing left in their liver, which made them feel a thorn hanging in their hearts.

This is actually the charm of the game Animal Forest.

Ordinary business simulation games should give players a feeling of pain and happiness.

At the beginning, the player is thrown into a desolate place, and then performs various constructions and renovations, and finally turns this desolate land into a beautiful home that you can show off.

At the same time, in this kind of business simulation game, all you have to do is liver.

If you want to say what the most exciting game is, it is definitely not a swipe game, but a business simulation game.

But "Animal Forest" is uncharacteristically different. In terms of gameplay content, it is similar. It also throws you on a desert island to build your own home.

It seems to be very fun to play, but at the same time it limits your liver function to a certain extent.

At every stage in the game, players will owe Nook a large amount of money. Coupled with Nook's real estate business, many players will think Nook is a huge profiteer.

But in fact, there is no such good businessman as Nook. He not only gives you a loan, but also does not limit the repayment date and does not charge interest.

Even if you have money, it won’t press you if you don’t take the initiative to repay it.

Because the goal of this game is not to repay the money.

The fun point of Animal Forest is 'life'.

There is no fixed core gameplay in the entire game.

Just like life, life itself has no specific way of living.

What you want to live like, or how you want to live, is just a goal you set for yourself.

The same is true in the game. If the room is not cleaned for a few days, it will be filled with dust.

By not interacting with your friends, or even by bullying them, you will lose them.

If you don't take care of yourself and don't go out, you will only become more and more sloppy.

Similarly, after you interact more and more with small animals, your originally introverted or arrogant animal friends will also open their hearts to you and give you various gifts.

Sometimes they will invite you to play together at an agreed time, and because the game time is synchronized with reality, you may even have to get up early for this.

On a daily basis, this is what Animal Crossing hopes to do.

It's not like other games. At the beginning, you will be in a state of confusion, and you may even stay up late for two or three days in a row to progress the content and progress.

But after experiencing all the content, I closed the game and never wanted to open it again.

Animal Crossing is different, it makes you fascinated, but you can't even think about it.

Because the game time follows reality, the store will be closed at a certain time, and the animals on the island will go to sleep on their own.

It is for these reasons that "Animal Forest" is a game that requires real investment of time and emotion to feel its unique charm.
