There was this video that I watched on Youtube about an "Animal crossing" like game which had secrets and such in the game. While I wouldn't call it a horror game necessarily, I remember the content creator who made this video called the game "errie". Here are some parts that I remember from the video.
-There was a section where our character was stopped with a character with a pew pew(I think it was a dog?) and that stopped our character from going to that path. When the character found the gun and went to rematch the dog, it turns out our gun was a prop(like the one that pops out a flag)
-I think the player character started either with going on a bus(like animal crossing lol) or coming from the subway. Maybe the subway was a secret area.
-There was some sort of key that the player needed to give to another character in order to get to the secret area
-While the game could be completed without finding the secrets, the content creator found all of the secrets that was in the game I think
-Like animal crossing, the characters aren't human and all I can remember are dog and cat characters
-The setting is a city and I think there was an ice cream stand in there??
-Some characters are aware that the game is actually a game
-The style is like "low poly" like the old animal crossing
That is all I remember, if you guys can find this video, that would be great. If not, it is what it is and I would keep it as a memory. Thank you for reading!
