You know the sinking feeling you get when loading up an Animal Crossing save for the first time in a long while? That dread in the pit of your stomach as you wander around, looking at how tall the weeds are, how widespread the mess is, and you start to tot up just how long it’ll take you to clean it up? Forager does that to you every 30 minutes. This is a world where flora, fauna and mining outcrops spring anew at lightning pace; it’s also a world you make bigger as you progress, making the constant clean-up job more onerous still.
