Live life at your own pace as you garden, fish, decorate, hunt
for bugs and fossils, get to know the animal residents, and more.
The time of day and seasons match real life, so something is happening
on your island whether youre there or not.
Catch of the day
Catching insects, diving for sea creatures, and fishing for—well, fish—are popular activities
on your island. You can find different critters depending on the season
and time of day. Each newly discovered creature is automatically added to your in-game Critterpedia.
Where am I going to put all the things I collect?
Please do consider donating them to the museum! Blathers will accept
new species of bugs and fish and analyze any fossils you dig up.
I am exeedingly interested in the ecosystem of this island!
