Look, we get it. You're probably sick of people posting on Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the internet. What's wrong with that, anyway? They're just a bunch of cute characters, running around an island to do menial tasks to pay off a growing debt to a money-hungry raccoon. And yet, for whatever reason, you want it, you even want it. You want to chat with anthropomorphic villagers; you want to plow the land and enjoy the fruits of your labor. But just being able to buy a Nintendo Switch just to discover a game isn't fair. What if we told you that there are some great games on PC that can give you these Animal Crossing feelings... and they're all on Steam? It doesn't matter if they're not the real deal: these PC Animal Crossing alternatives will make you feel a little less envious of your friend's island life, to say the least.
1. Cemetery Guardian
No, this is not a joke recommendation. Graveyard Keeper looks a bit like Animal Crossing, though the theme is far less happy. Grab a shovel (and some bodies) as you run your own graveyard and do whatever it takes to run a successful business. While it's basically a game of putting people six feet under, Graveyard Keeper is full of dark humor and will make you enjoy your work in the real world a little more. Sure, you could have back-to-back meetings and the printer is still locked, but at least you don't have to shred up organs to sell to the local butcher for a quick buck.2. Stardew Valley
A truly amazing game in its own right, Stardew Valley combines the best of Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing to create a compelling and totally addictive experience. With farming at your heart, enjoy the simple life by living off the land, growing crops, raising crops, and making more efficient equipment. Go to the bustling city and build relationships with its citizens; you never know, it may even lead to marriage and children! There are so many things to do in Stardew Valley that you'll wonder why you don't have these levels of productivity outside of the game. Oh, and with the recent multiplayer update, you can now fish, fight, plant, and sow your seeds with your closest farm friends online. It's getting better and better.

Instantly adorable, Garden Paws is the equivalent of Sylvanian Family: The Video Game (which unfortunately doesn't exist). You play as a pint-sized animal tasked with building a thriving community. Manage a shop to earn coins, fight in dangerous dungeons, and undertake exciting quests as you work to the bone. With over 500 hours of content to enjoy, Garden Paws continues to grow with regular updates and new game modes to try, like online multiplayer where you can play with up to 32 furry friends. Aww.4.
