Spooky, tiny little delicious morsel of a game. We had no idea what would be coming in the next 9 years and that was really cool. FNAF was simply a cool indie horror game that capitalized on a really common and understandable fear for the Chuck E. Cheese generation.
New Horizons is fine, it's perfectly fine. Looks amazing, has great music, has an incredible museum. I do miss the old villagers, and the game is FINALLY pretty close to resembling an actual sequel to New Leaf. I also spend far too much time in Happy Home Paradise.

Haven't played since shipwrecks were added but GOD what a fun game. Amazing survival, amazing creative mode, amazing music.
Welcome to the Zoo (zoo zoo)
With the kangaroos (roos roos)
And the tigers too (too too)
Welcome to the ZOO-ZOO-ZOO!
I need a lore expert to tell me if Outback Al literally had stubble. Also did anyone else REALLY want to drink Chuck Wagon's hot cocoa? And I STILL want Cheese Squigglies.

Cool concept, clunky controls, the first game I ever bugged my dad to let me play when he was done. 💗

Let's be real all I did was race and blow up gas stations around LAX.
Seminal game in discovering street wear, social night life, side hustles, and casual dating. Still, almost 20 years later, cannot decide if the lack of any importance for a base apartment is a bug or a feature, because you'd barely need to convince me that it's supposed to flow with the laissez faire lifestyle being pushed in the game. Anyway, gimme back gratuitous piercings and dumb hair and the Black Eyed Peas.

Yeah I'm the dummy that was just sobbing during this game. Moved around as a kid, realized I was queer as an adult, you know how it is. Cried at MC's stupid boyfriend's apartment, moved all his shit under the bed in retaliation. Cried when I realized MC kept drawing the same little characters. Cried when MC became a children's book author. Sobbed like an idiot when MC's pig made it to the baby's room. Just REALLY not a fan of how small the game is. Glad I got it on sale. Would LOVE an anthology sequel or DLC.
Maddening puzzles, but it all keeps in line with the breathtaking short story. Great adaptation.
Gorgeous game with a gorgeous remaster. I love the thematic full screen frames. Controls are a bit wonky but converting point-and-clicks to sticks controls can be wacky. Someone buy me the soundtrack on vinyl pls.
Pry this game out of my cold dead hands. I still want to eat the cake I made with Fatty. Whenever I need to traverse my home in the middle of the night and get spooked, I still think of Fatty Bear and feel better. This dang bear was the impetus for my desire to ride a laundry chute, a thing I never even knew existed before this game. I dunno dudes, between this and Corduroy, I have an incredibly soft spot for brown bears in overalls with poc families because no kids in media resembled me so I was just drawn to ALL poc characters and I liked to imagine that my bears loved me just as much, yada yada yada, you know the sob story. Game good.
I'll be honest I have a core memory of being miffed that I couldn't tell Barbie that my favorite color was "blood red" because I was a specific kind of excruciating as a child.
