In the game, the human character takes on the role of mayor in a town populated with anthropomorphic animals.
As in previous installments in the Animal Crossing series, players take control of a villager who is moving into a new town. Upon arrival, the player is mistaken for the town mayor and is given that position instead of being a mere resident. Like previous games in the series, the game enables the player to explore their town, talk with other residents, and participate in various activities such as fishing and bug catching. Doing various activities or selling various items earns the player Bells, which they can use to purchase various items such as furniture or clothes, or pay loans used to renovate their house. The game is played in real-time, utilizing the Nintendo 3DS system’s internal clock, with aspects such as shop opening times, species of wildlife and special events varying depending on the time of day and season.
