It is one of the most popular game series in Japan, and with over 39 million units sold, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the most successful edition. In the game, the player has control over an avatar, which resembles a human and inhabits a house in the village of the game world. He has to pay off the house to Tom Nook. In order to obtain the required money, a wide variety of activities must be performed. For example, fruit must be harvested from trees or fish must be caught. These can then be sold for money and the house can be paid off or new expansions can be purchased.
