As massive fans of cozy games, the team here at Pocket Tactics was overjoyed when Animula Nook first burst onto the scene. This cozy life sim comes from LilliLandia Games, an offshoot of Tencent Games, the giant publisher known for games like Pokémon Unite, Honor of Kings, and Delta Force, but the subject matter is the furthest thing from giant.
Animula Nook shrinks players down to a “Lilliputian” size, referencing the tiny inhabitants of Lilliput in the classic story, Gulliver’s Travels, putting the classic, slow-paced life-sim formula found in games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley into a new perspective. Household objects become crafting materials for furniture, flower pots become farming plots, and luckily, Animula Nook seems to leave out the very real fear of giant insects that Grounded instilled in many of us.
While we patiently await more information on the game’s release date, some members of the LilliLandia Games dev and production team kindly answered our questions so that we can familiarize ourselves with the tiny world of Animula Nook and its Minies.
