November, the season of transition, from bright green sunny summers to cosy hues of brown, orange, red and yellow falling leaf’s, signalling the season of change.

Sometimes we human beings need to stop and slow down sometime, and just breathe, we all have our own way of relaxing and escaping from stresses, such as getting under some warm cosy blankets, sipping coffee or hot chocolate, with a Nintendo switch in hand, playing the game of escapisms, animal crossing.

Animal crossing has always been one of those cosy games where you can escape and forget about the things that are effecting you, as human beings we tend to carry a lot on our shoulders bearing heavy responsibilities, and sometimes we just need to have a little escape.

That’s why animal crossing is one of the greatest games you can play, it’s a fresh start to building a world where troubles don’t exist, as a player all you have to worry about is adding things that you love to your island, and shaping your island the way you want it to look in your eyes.

In the game there are many activities to do, if you’ve never gone fishing before you can do so freely in animal crossing, it’s a wonderful way to calm your mind and breathe from a stressful day, the ambiance sound effects adds more effect, as it invokes feeling as though we are actually out in nature.

In animal crossing the beach is a peaceful place to go and sit down and listen to the calming waves, or you can go swimming and discover all the fascinating sea creatures, and then take them to your museum for your collection of sea life to be on display.

The best part about animal crossing is having your fellow villager run up to you, and ask if they can visit your house, when inside your house with your villager, they will ask you if they can see the other rooms, you walk into another room in your house and they will follow you, and complement your interior design skills. It’s very comforting to know you can have visitors.

Wanna go shopping? There are two stores in animal crossing, and an offshore island called Harv’s island, where there is a plaza of many stores. Nooks cranny is a cute store owned by Timmy and tommy, you can buy amazing furniture pieces such as, wallpaper, flooring, and tools from their store, everyday the stock changes so grab your bells and get ready to spend.

Ables sisters is a wonderful cosy store owned by the able sisters, and it’s the only place where you can buy clothing, it’s a cute little store that has many handmade outfits crafted by Sable, just like the season the stocks of clothing changes, ranging from cute coats, to cosy winter boots and socks. In animal crossing you have the freedom to wear whatever you like, even if its miss matched clothing, no one will judge you for your style.

Harv’s island, is a wonderful plaza where you can see all the different stores, it’s like a market where you can interact with different shop keepers and see what they are selling for the day.

Animal crossing is a game you can lie down under cosy blankets, or a pillow fort, or even a blanket fort, and play for hours on end.

Behind The Frame: The Finest Scenery, A game That Plays Out like An Anime Film

‘Behind The Frame: The Finest Scenery was developed by Silver Lining Studio,  released on the 25th August, and it just screams Studio Ghibli. This game follows the story of an aspiring artist trying to pursue her dream, it is a click and drag type puzzle game that’s supposed to make the player feel like they are watching an anime film unfold. It is intended for that purpose, I feel as though watching the game through as if it’s a film is perfect for those who are looking for a story, as opposed to an exchange where you must complete mountains of objectives to get through the story. It’s a cosy game that allows players to unwind, relax with simple puzzles and simply have an overwhelming experience with cinematic gameplay.

“Guide brush strokes and solve a variety of puzzles to help an aspiring artist complete her masterpiece amid her brusque neighbour’s gaze and his pesky cat. As her painting starts to take shape, uncover an emotional tale of chance and artistry revealed behind unrelated yet familiar moments.”

The game releases on Steam, Ios & Android. The perfect platform for a cinematic game such as this. While a Nintendo Switch or PlayStation release would be nice, this game includes a lot of clicking and dragging, which will mostly be suited for players that use a PC or mobile phone. Many could use the touch screen on a Nintendo Switch or touchpad on a PlayStation controller, however, the experience won’t be quite the same, as the mechanics may be a little difficult for players used to buttons and analogue sticks to wrap their head around the unique gameplay type.

Some console players turn their heads on Mobile games, but I think it’s a wonderful choice, especially for anime lovers who enjoy watching a good anime, wrapped in their blankets at home and laying comfortably in bed, or the individual who enjoys sitting at their computer with a cosy, relaxing atmosphere.

A relaxing, eloquent experience that can be played at any pace. Become immersed in a panoramic world filled with resplendent colors, beautiful hand-animated visuals, and a smooth, easy-listening soundtrack.
