A Let's Play of Animal Crossing: Wild World by Chewbot, a Darker and Edgier version of the cute little game you know and love.This is the story of eight-year-old Billy and his wondrous adventures at "Camp". Arriving at what seems to be an innocuous summer camp with nothing but the clothes on his back (the driver took off with his things in the trunk), Billy quickly finds himself in an empty house with a dead land line and no way of escape. He's quickly informed that he's in debt for a house he didn't buy and then swindled into working for Tom Nook, a Mafia-like raccoon he suddenly owes money to....But there's more. Something is off about the camp; there are no other kids around except him, and the only company he has are that of animated talking animals. Everyone in the camp seems to be in on some secret, and Billy can't trust any of them. Some of them even disappear suddenly during the night, leaving without a trace. With his world spiraling out of control, Billy takes matters into his own eight-year-old hands and attempts to find out what dark, dirty secret this cute little place is keeping...And it all goes downhill from there.Can be found here. Happy reading and sweet dreams.Other Let's Play style stories he's written include Plague and Treachery on the Oregon Trail, which is much Lighter and Softer than this story, for those who might have trouble sleeping tonight.

Multiple Endings
 The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing (Lets Play) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: A rare non-video game example - Pro-Box or Anti-Box. Take your pick. Pro-Box Ending: Billy opens Penny's final present, and finds out the truth about Penny, Tom, and the island. Not only that, but he manages to escape. The Golden Ending, essentially. Anti-Box Ending: Billy runs away from Penny's final present, attempts to kill himself, tries to kill Tom, and crosses. If Pro-Box is the Golden Ending, then Anti-Box is the Bad Ending. Anti-Box is sort of a "what if" concerning Billy getting lucky with his victory, Billy taking a while to cross, and doesn't really make sense unless you know that plot twist from Pro-Box.

Worf Had the Flu: It's revealed in the epilogue when Penny used Billy's eye to replace hers, her body actively rejected it because of Billy having a natural resistance to the gyroids effect, leaving her weakened and half-rotten by the time we finally see her.

Crapsaccharine World: The epitome of this trope. Everything's all cute animals on the outside, hard-to-top horror on the inside. And this was preferable to what they did at first. Tom says that they used to torture the new kids, and he's the one who came up with the idea to at least keep them distracted and happy until, and sometimes even after they cross.

Quote Mine: There's an instance of this to make Tom Nook seem more evil. Of course, most of the screenshots and dialogue is taken out of context (for example, in one of the endings, Mr. Resetti appears to chew Billy out for trying to drown himself when he's really yelling at him for resetting the game), and some of it is just Chewbot and other players sending messages that are clearly not what the game intended the system to be used for.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: Billy manages to put an end to Penny's tyranny once and for all, and saves the rest of the children while escaping from the island via a rescue from the armed forces thanks to a disteress beacon that's been set from the mansion. However, he remained scarred for life since his childhood (and a lot more of those saved children may've suffered the same, if not worse because of being on that island longer than Billy), and was took into custody and taken years of therapy from all his trauma to the point of becoming an adult and never returning home, probably worrying his mother sick, and had to write an official statement about all that traumatizing experience. This is not mentioning the fact that a lot of children died and a small number of gyroids were disposed of at the bottom of the ocean, with a high possibility of threatening the lives of aquatic sea creatures that live under the sea.

Alternate Character Interpretation: In-Universe, about the games themselves. Most of the characters are living in fear of Penny, and Tom Nook seems to be interpreted as a bastard that won't let Billy leave, but his ulterior motive was that he was trying to help Billy escape. Even the Gyroids get looked at from a different point of view. In the games, they're innocent if weird statues of unknown origin that move and make funny noises. Here, they're not-so-innocent weird statues of unknown origin that mutate those exposed for them for too long (as well as driving them temporarily insane)... that move and make funny noises.

Penny is the one running the whole freakshow, and Nook is the only friend he's got.

Acting Your Intellectual Age: Billy acts way maturely for an eight-year-old. While a kid could, in theory, still sneak and prepare himself for survival, if he's smart and quick enough, what WOULD be uncommon for a child is to think too much about certain topics. Though granted, considering this is being told by him almost 20 years later, some things may be spoken from a now-adult perspective.
