Man, times are weird right now. Luckily, owners of a Nintendo Switch now have a way to pass the time and vicariously live the island life through a cute, virtual version of themselves in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Below you’ll find a handful of Animal Crossing island dwellers alongside their real-life counterparts. Check it out!

Age: 25 

Passport Title: Pocket Egg

Favorite thing about ACNH: “I like the game to slowly unlock things over a long period of time, giving me something to play every day. Also, completing my museum calls to me.”

Name: Janet

Age: 27

Passport Title: Tropically-grown Mama 

Favorite thing about ACNH: “You can play for hours and have endless things to do. You can invite friends over to your island and play together. There are special events that go on throughout the year, like holidays and competitions. You can buy your own home and furnish it with furniture you either find, buy, or make! And you have the chance to plot where all buildings and homes are going to be built – That’s a new feature. I can go on and on, it’s better for one to try it out themselves. It’s a great game that anyone can enjoy!”
