Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley have helped to inspire a new farming simulation game entitled Harvest Days. Both games are considered to be gold standards of the simulation genre - Stardew Valley is one of the most critically-acclaimed farming games ever released, and the latest title in the Animal Crossing series, New Horizons, is one of the best-selling Nintendo games of all time. Although both games remain popular, they are both near the end of their life cycles in terms of receiving updates from developers.
Both Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley are very open-ended titles, allowing players to focus on whatever personal goals they want to achieve in-game. Stardew Valley is the more structured of the two, tasking players with rebuilding their grandfather's abandoned farm. Players can farm, collect materials, go dungeon-crawling in the town mines, befriend the local townsfolk, and more. Stardew Valley allows for more relationship progression than Animal Crossing, allowing players to marry and have children with eligible candidates within town. Animal Crossing offers players more freedom, although they are still placed on an island to build from the ground up much like Stardew's farm. Players live alongside Animal Crossing's anthropomorphic animal villagers, building friendships with them as they take part in activities like fishing, bug catching, and decorating their island.
