9 Best Small Details in Animal Crossing

There are a lot of cute things in the game, but these are our favorites.

One of the most impressive things about Animal Crossing is how well it pays attention to small details. These small details, which might not seem like much, give the game more depth and realism and add to its overall relaxing and cozy feel.

Every part of the game, from the funny dialogue to the little things the cute animals do, has been carefully designed to make the experience feel real. Whether you've played the Animal Crossing games before or not, you'll love these amazing little details in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Moon Phases

Did you know that the phases of the moon match the real cycle of the moon? This gives the game's world a little more magic and fun. As you move through the virtual days and nights, the moon will change from a crescent to a full moon and back again, just like it would in the real world.

Because of this attention to detail, you can connect with nature in a unique and fun way. Now you have one more reason to look up at the stars when you play at night.

Fans And Plants

Fans can move the plants in the game with their hands, which makes them look more real and alive. When you turn on the fan, the plants will move and rustle in response to the breeze. Every item with leaves, from the Monstera to the Cacao Tree, will do this.

This small but important detail gives the game's setting a touch of realism. Small things like this, which you might not even notice, show how encompassing Animal Crossing can be. If you're like us, you'll want to test this by adding as many plants as you can to your home.

Clock In Resident Services

The clock in the game shows the correct time in the real world. This means that as the day goes on in the real world, it will also go on in the game. Depending on the time of day, you can do different things and see different things happen.

Every part of the day is in the game, from watching the sun rise to looking at the stars at night. This makes it feel like the world is alive and moving. The clock in Resident Services is always there to remind you of this, making the game even more like real life. Unfortunately, that also means you have to realize when you've been ignoring real life to water your in-game roses for a little too long.

Traces Of Airplane Smoke

Adding airplane smoke trails to a trip to see friends on their islands makes things even more fun. As your friend's character travels to your island, you'll see their plane flying across the sky, leaving a trail of smoke that stays while your friend is there.

This small detail adds magic and excitement to the cooperative experience and makes it feel like your friend is really there. It makes the game feel more real and adds to the way it looks. It's something nice to look up at while your friend hits you with their net.

Villagers Chasing Butterflies

People in villages are often seen chasing butterflies and other small bugs. This small detail gives it a sense of realism, making it feel like a thriving ecosystem.

Watching the villagers interact with the butterflies is a fun thing to do and shows how much thought went into making the game. This simple but charming feature makes the game world feel alive and gives the villagers real personalities.

Birds On Message Board

Put a new note on the whiteboard? You may happen across a unique creature. The small bird characters that sit on the message board near Resident Services give the game's design a unique and cute touch.

If you walk by Resident Services during the day, you might see the cute yellow bird. If you walk by at night, you might see the owl. Their presence is not only useful because it lets you know when there are new messages, but it also adds to the atmosphere of the game's whimsical, animal-filled world.

Villagers Commenting On Your Activities

Did you pick weeds or catch sea bass all day? Your people in the village will see. The fact that villagers comment on what you do is cute and adds to the overall cuteness of the game. Your virtual life feels more real and connected when other people respond to what you do.

It's fun to see how your villagers' personalities shine through, and it gives Slope Game a unique sense of interaction. It's almost like your villagers are there with you, making friends and paying attention to what you like to do. So it's no wonder we like being around them so much.

Cat Tower Meow

When you tap on a cat tower in Animal Crossing and hold down the A button, it meows, making it seem like a small cat is hiding inside. What a strange thing! The attention to detail in the game's sound design is shown by how charming and immersive this detail is.

You can choose from different colors and styles for the cat tower, so it will be easy to match it to your home's style. We'll just have to try not to be distracted by how cute it is...

Gyroids Match The Music

Have you ever put your gyroid next to your record player? Well, you should. When you put them together, you get a fun surprise: the gyroid will sing the song that's playing on the K.K. Slider.

With 95 K.K. Slider songs and 36 gyroids to choose from, it seems like there are a lot of options. Just wait until you hear an Arfoid sing K.K. Flamenco from the bottom of its heart. The way it fits together will put you in a trance.
