The "Red Light, Green Light" episode of Squid Game has been revived in the Animal Crossing fan video that pits beloved villagers against each other.
The first episode of Netflix sensation Squid Game has been lovingly recreated in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. A fan-made video blends Korean drama with the Nintendo classic and shows the fan-favorite Animal Crossing villagers competing against each other in the first of six life-or-death games.
Squid Gamestook the world by storm after its September release on the streaming platform. The series follows financially struggling people who participate in a series of children's games in hopes of winning a big cash prize. Unfortunately, losing a game will cost players lives and increase the stakes in the fight for survival. The series has become one of the biggest Netflix shows of all time. The company also recently acquired Netflix's first game studio to include games in its catalog.
YouTuber Mellow Diaryrecreated Squid Game in Animal Crossing by mixing in-game features with some editing wizards. The video is based on the first episode of the series, Red Light, Green Light, and shows the AC characters risking and losing their lives in a house that mirrors the show's first game arena. Villagers, including Raymond and Flurry, race to reach the finish line without being detected by an Animal Crossing player dressed as the motion detector robot seen in the show. The finished product is both funny and impressive, paving the way for future Squid Game titles.
Smart Animal Crossing video uses many in-game decorations, clothing, and items to bring the world of Squid Game to life. The Rice Paddy Wall mimics the background seen in the show, as does the sand floor. The villagers wear the green sweatpants made famous by the Netflix series, while the Loft Bed with Desk element is used to replicate the bunk beds where the Squid Game contestants sleep. The YouTube channel has found a following making short stories and role-playing games based on Animal Crossing, and it's hoped more Squid Game recreations are coming from the creator.
