Hokko Life comes from developer Wonderscope , a small Swedish one-man company based in Stockholm . Robert Tatnell is the name of the creative head behind the head who created the game by hand. Tatnell describes the game as "[...] a cozy simulation game full of creativity."

The following activities can be carried out in Hokko Life on the PC :

• Enlarging the city: After you have arrived in the small city, you can see that there is not much going on in it. This requires the help of the player. You have to help neighbors to build their own houses, enlarge their city and thus expand their own empire. Players can freely decide where a certain neighbor should live.
• Design furniture: In Hokko Life you can create your own furniture. For example, the trailer shows how a sofa is designed. The player can not only decide on superficial things, such as the color of the furniture, but also change the smallest details. So it is possible in the game to place individual pillows on sofas and to design them by hand.
• Decorating houses: But creating the furniture is not enough. Rather, the player on the PC also has to decide where the individual pieces of furniture should be in the house and which give each other a homely feeling and fit together. In Hokko Life, you not only decide on your own furnishings, you also have to advise your neighbors on style issues and do the decorating work.
• Build a garden: With the help of various tools, such as an ax or a shovel, you can build your very own environment in Hokko Life . So you can clear fallen trees, remove stones and create your own plantation with fruits and fruits in your front yard. You have to irrigate your garden independently and take care of it.
• Create your own style: You can design your own clothes in the PC game from the developer Wonderscope from Stockholm . The player can freely choose the wildest creations and then wear the outfits.
• Fishing and hunting: At Hokko Life on the PC you can spend hours pulling rare fish out of the water at the fishing spots or getting insects into the landing net like in Animal Crossing: New Horizons .

Animal Crosing: New Horizons - Hokko Life just a copy for the PC?

Some fans of another game series may find these activities somewhat familiar. Tatnell's game strongly reminds one of the Japanese game series Animal Crossing , with the latest game on Nintendo Switch : Animal Crossing: New Horizons . Hokko Life appears almost like a copy of the game that has broken one record after the next * since its release.

In Ani mal Crossing: New Horizons you can also fish and catch insects. It is questionable whether Hokko Life also has the dangerous tarantula *. You can enlarge your own city by adding new animal inhabitants * to your island or by building other famous maps *. So whether Wonderscope stole stubbornly from Nintendo is likely to show when Hokko Life appears for the PC.

In Hokko Life on PC too, players have to take care of their garden.

If fans of Animal Crossing: New Horizons have become curious about the game, there are bad news. Hokko Life is not yet on the market. There is only one wish list on Steam to which Hokko Life can be added. According to Steam, the release is still planned for 2020 . The price of the animal crossing alternative has not yet been determined.
