Item description
A screenshot of the interior of a house from the Nintendo Switch video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The room is viewed from the corner, with two walls visible in the back. The wallpaper is yellow with a lattice of sunflowers. On the right wall is a brown canopy bed with a matching side table that has a statue of a tiger on top, as well as a yellow standing lamp. On the right wall is a brown teddy bear and a teal pet bed. Also on the left, against the unseen front wall, is a pink and brown cat tree and a brown writing desk with a red stool. There are clothes from various cultures hung on the walls; two on each back wall.

Animal Crossing New Horizons is set on an island environment. As I was playing the game, I reflected a lot on my experience being isolated from most people during the pandemic and noticed some parallels between the game and real life. Cultivating a nice home in the game and real life felt very important during the pandemic in 2020.
