I think it's funny that the original game says "no one living in this town will survive". That's far grimmer than the vague "you lose all your shit" in the other games.

[marcosdrs]

I can imagine a child turning on their Game cube, thinking about starting a new town just for fun and seconds later feeling like a war criminal

[buddy]

Newer Games: "If you do this, we all will lose our memories of you..."

Older Games: "IF YOU DO THIS WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!"

[vograft]

Man the
“Heaven and all its residents have been erased.” Is unsettling..

[GreekGirl]

"And if anyone is out traveling, there won't be any town to come home to!"

that shattered me 😔

[ExFabian]

The fact that Rover just stares into your soul as he's deleting everything and after he's done he just says "It's gone. Bye-bye!" just creeps me out

[coffeelover]

Everyone is saying how heartless Tom is when Rover has that smug smile when deleting the town.

[o_chite]

The first one made me sad when he talked about travelers not being able to come home :(

[ZanWhen]

I'm kinda freaked out that the villager goes from being distressed over you deleting the town to neutral/happy when they're deleting the town...

[delta]

I'm not even the one deleting them and this _still_ made me feel bad.

[JustJamm]

“Well, I do hope we will meet again someday, somewhere.” That line is so powerful

[iceespizza]

"everything in Area 51 will be erased!"

oh, thats why Area 51 was closed.

[VGJol]

Rover is the scariest
"Its all gone .... bye bye"
That's just creppy for me

[WFTWKnockOUT]

Tom Nook is all calm about this. He's been doing the Salt Mine Business a long time, so he's completely used to this.

[boofis]

Tom nooks expression in new horizons is like “I don’t give a shit about your island just delete it”

[_klljys]

Went from: “MURDERER YOU WANT TO KILL EVERYONE?”
To: “coolio, see you on the flip side homie.”

2001-2019: Undertale levels of guilt-tripping.

2020: Expressionless Tom Nook asks to speak with your parents.

[GenericMystics]

"Enjoy your new life..." That was so soul crushing to read.

[StainOfLuxury]

I think they did this so that kids didn’t accidentally delete their town.

[TheeValentino]

Everyone else: NOOOO DON’T DELETE

Tom Nook: lol bye
