may be a generally uplifting game about finding purpose and peace through hard work and nature, but one player has discovered an incredibly sad moment that no one expected. As players journey through Pelican Town and make friends with all the locals, they'll slowly come to understand the community's dynamics and the relationships that connect everyone. While most of these are very wholesome, sometimes the game can be unexpectedly dark by dropping a shockingly heavy narrative moment without any kind of warning.
Posted to Reddit by user Dragoluke44, the player shared a screenshot of a particular sad interaction between Evelyn, her husband George, and their grandson Alex.
The moment, which can only be seen during a Green Rain event when the couple takes cover in the basement of their house, sees the elderly woman fearing for her life, questioning whether the strange weather is a signal that her time is finally up. Her only regret is that she wishes she could have seen Alex "" before she passes on, a heartbreaking sentiment.
Green Rain is an entirely new phenomenon that was added to as a part of the game's 1.6 Update and while it seems to bring more positives than negatives, the residents of Pelican Town aren't impressed by it. During the event, which happens randomly during summer, players can find the citizens of the game bunkering down in their homes, much like Evelyn and George, convinced that something is amiss. The only person who doesn't hide away is Demetrius, who can be seen gathering samples in the rain while wearing a hazmat suit.
While everyone in may be wary of the Green Rain, it's actually extremely helpful for the environment. When it falls moss grows in abundance, meaning farmers will be able to gather plenty of the recently-added plant alongside a wealth of Fiddlehead Fern, a relatively rare item. It's worth noting that while it's called Green Rain, it doesn't actually water crops so a trip around the farm with a watering can is still required.
