8 Crazy Video Game Fan Theories That Actually Improve Games

3. Animal Crossing: Something Is Very Wrong Here

Animal Crossing is a cute, harmless game right? Wrong €“ it's actually a dark nightmare that traps the lead character in a colourful prison, like an awful Truman Show with man-sized animals and forced labour, all forced through the grinning smiles of creatures pretending to be friendly.

You can't escape, your lodgings are as bare as a prison cell (with no toilet), and you're basically forced into an endless cycle of mortgages and manual labour despite being barely ten years old.

This is not the holiday that gaming is supposed to be, and according to one incredibly imaginative theorist, it all gets an awful lot worse. Peel away the colourful edges of Animal Crossing and you have a tale of deception, misdirection and cannibalism.
