Thunder Lotus, developer of such indie titles as Jotun<\/em> and Sundered<\/em>, has just released its latest game, Spiritfarer<\/em><\/strong>, a game about ferrying souls to the afterlife. This week has Spiritfarer<\/em> launching<\/span> for a growing list of platforms<\/a>, and as a result, plenty of players are discovering the cheeky reference the game makes to Nintendo\u2019s Animal Crossing<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

It actually makes a lot of sense for there to be some overlap between\u00a0Animal Crossing<\/em> and Spiritfarer<\/em><\/a>. Like Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/em>, Spiritfarer<\/em> features a human protagonist and a supporting cast of distinct anthropomorphic animal characters, a relatively chill vibe, and gameplay that revolves around managing resources to create a personalized space surrounded by water. And as Kotaku points out, Spiritfarer<\/em> even has its own version of Animal Crossing<\/em>\u2019s capitalism-happy raccoon, Tom Nook.<\/p>\n

Early on, players find themselves coming to the island settlement of Hummingberg, at the guidance of one of their passengers, a deer named Gwen. It\u2019s there that they discover a shop called Raccoon Inc., run by a raccoon named Theodore. Already, the similarities to Tom Nook and his Nook Inc. brand are glaring, but it becomes even more apparent when it\u2019s revealed that everything Theodore is selling costs far more than what players will likely have by this point in Spiritfarer<\/em><\/a>, making all of it unattainable.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Luckily for players, Theodore does get called out for it, as Gwen berates him with a series of insults, calling him \u201ctrash panda\u201d and his shady business practices \u201cthe reason we have middle fingers.\u201d This leads him to drop his prices to a manageable level, while probably leaving a lot\u00a0Animal Crossing<\/em> fans wishing they could do the same to Tom Nook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spiritfarer<\/em><\/strong> is available for PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
