Is it still worth playing?
You move into a village of animal neighbors and work to pay off the mortgage on your house by collecting and selling natural materials. This social simulation first appeared in 2001 for the Nintendo 64 in Japan as Dōbutsu no Mori, followed by an enhanced GameCube port. It is open ended, with little plot but plenty of tasks and goals. A cat named Rover, met on the train, shapes your character's gender and looks through his questions. The game follows the console's internal clock in real time, so days, weeks, months and years pass, with events such as the Harvest Festival, Toy Day and fishing tournaments through the year. A village that follows the calendar is still worth a visit today.
