Animal Crossing: New Horizons Fan Shares Stunning Disco Elysium Recreation

Key Takeaways

  • One dedicated fan has recently recreated the world of Disco Elysium in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
  • Their efforts produced impressively accurate ACNH recreations of over a dozen Disco Elysium locations.

As a dedicated follower of both Disco Elysium and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, I can’t help but be utterly astounded by the sheer talent and dedication displayed by Redditor SpookySocks83. This individual has managed to recreate over a dozen locations from ZA/UM’s critically acclaimed RPG in Nintendo’s hit game, and it’s nothing short of remarkable!


One immensely patient Animal Crossing: New Horizons player recently undertook the effort of recreating numerous Disco Elysium locations in Nintendo’s hit game. The results of their work later made the rounds on social media, eliciting praise from many Disco Elysium fans.

Since October 2021, you can find the game “Disco Elysium” on Nintendo’s hybrid console, the Switch, marking two years since its initial release. Despite sharing no substantial similarities with “Animal Crossing: New Horizons“, there are indeed fans who appreciate both games.

One of them goes by Reddit username SpookySocks83, who’s been pouring a considerable amount of time into replicating the universe of Disco Elysium within the newest Animal Crossing game. Their work has resulted in more than a dozen areas influenced by ZA/UM’s highly praised RPG, such as Whirling-in-Rags cafeteria and attic-themed rooms, Harry’s messy hostel room, and the backyard with the hanging man. This dedicated fan has also replicated Evrart Claire’s office and Bird’s Nest Roy’s Martinaise pawnshop, both of which are instantly familiar to fans of Disco Elysium.

In their creative process, SpookySocks83 made use of both their real-life island residence and the homes of their villagers within the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. Following the 2.0 update in November 2021, players have been able to customize villager homes after finishing the main storyline for the Happy Home Paradise DLC. The diverse range of furniture used by SpookySocks83 indicates they’ve spent a considerable amount of time playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

SpookySocks83 Spent Weeks Recreating Disco Elysium Locations in ACNH

Speaking about their creation, SpookySocks83 disclosed that they dedicated several weeks to these designs. They mentioned that they’ve been working on them consistently for nearly a month whenever they had spare time. Each individual room took them anywhere from half an hour to three hours to finish, depending on the intricacy of the scene they were trying to replicate. They didn’t avoid taking on challenging scenes with complex visuals, such as the dream sequence in the backyard from Disco Elysium, which appeared to have demanded considerable effort to recreate within the limitations of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Back in mid-November 2024, I was thrilled to see my designs for the Disco Elysium universe grace the front page of r/DiscoElysium subreddit. The response was overwhelming, with hundreds of upvotes pouring in and fans of the game expressing their admiration. Creating this world within Animal Crossing: New Horizons was an incredibly enjoyable process for me, and it’s heartwarming to know that so many people are appreciating the fruit of my labor.
