Animal Crossing Player's Awkward In-Game Breakup Letter Goes Viral

screenrant.com:

A player of Animal Crossing: New Horizons has gone viral after sharing a post-breakup letter from their ex, received in the Nintendo game. Animal Crossing's ability to bring people together has been praised since the title launched in 2020, offering a way for families and friends to connect during global lockdowns and beyond, but it's possible for its multiplayer features to be used for less-than-wh0lesome purposes.

With slow load times and limited capabilities, the latest Animal Crossing game's multiplayer options have been criticized by players, but that hasn't stopped fans from making use of what's on offer. Users can travel to each others' islands, trade items, send letters, write on each others' bulletin boards, and more. Unfortunately, Animal Crossing doesn't offer many two-player activities, such as minigames, leaving fans to come up with their own ideas to have fun in multiplayer. This hasn't stopped creative players who've come up with their own multiplayer games, with fans even going so far as to recreate the death games of Netflix's Squid Game in Animal Crossing.
