Players of Nintendo's life sim Animal Crossing: New Horizons continue to be very creative with how they build up their islands in-game, with one fan sharing the cute pig pen they set up that hides a pretty dark secret. For the game's community members who love to customize their Animal Crossing: New Horizons islands in a specific way, this player's pig pen is likely to inspire them to do the same.
Though Animal Crossing: New Horizons received a small update recently, not a lot has been going on officially for the video game. It has been a while since the release of the Happy Home Paradise DLC and the free 2.0 title update, but it does not seem that fans are getting tired of the game. The ACNH community shares different types of content regularly, whether it be custom costumes for the villagers, a recreation of a location in real-life or another video game, and even unique set-ups like this player's cute pig pen area.
On Reddit, user Butt_Whiskers shared a photo of the seemingly innocent pig pen area that they put together on Animal Crossing: New Horizons. At a glance, fellow fans will likely think that there was nothing wrong with the area, given that the Redditor used typical Animal Crossing: New Horizons furniture and items in their set-up. They even used the game's piggy bank item to represent actual pigs in the pen. However, with the addition of the bones in the middle of the pigs, and the splash of what seems like blood on the floor, the pig pen reveals a pretty dark and morbid secret.
Fellow fans on the Reddit thread were quick to pick up on what Butt_Whiskers was trying to imply using their Animal Crossing: New Horizons custom area. Some posted facts that pigs can go through any kind of bones easily when hungry, making them the perfect way to dispose of unwanted remains. Others mentioned that they would never trust anyone who owns pigs, and that the pen needed some pig villagers, to which the Redditor replied that they had Agnes on their island. Some even talked about terrifying real-life serial killers known for using pigs and pig farms to dispose of their victims' bodies.
For fans of serial killer and true-crime documentaries who are also players of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, this is likely an interesting take on customizing their deserted island. Hopefully their interest in these kinds of areas is something that will remain within the virtual confines of the video game.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available on the Nintendo Switch.
