Animal Crossing's Next Update Has Players Revisiting Long-Deserted Islands
""He had a weird sense of humor and once he saw that there were jail items in the game--jail bars, wallpaper, toilets-- he thought it would be hilarious to turn his island home into a jail cell," she told GameSpot. "I helped him gather the items too.""
""After a little roaming around I came upon my ex's old island home and I remembered how it was decorated. This was extra hilarious and ironic since a few months after our break up, he ended up in jail in real life and is still there to this day," Mushy said with a laugh. "So, all in all, my ex manifested his future in jail on my Animal Crossing island.""
A returning Animal Crossing: New Horizons player found an ex-partner's home decorated like a jail cell, using in-game jail bars, wallpaper, and toilets collected during early play. The player had helped gather the items and rediscovered the room after more than three years away while preparing for the 3.0 update on January 15. The ex-partner later ended up in real-life jail, creating an ironic parallel between game design and real events. The game preserves islands exactly as left, so long absences reveal weeds, cockroaches, unchanged villagers, and pandemic-era design choices that function as digital time capsules.
