About Welcome To Bloxburg:
Welcome to bloxburg follows a woman named Frigg who has left their life in the city to take up a carpentry apprenticeship in a small town named Elk located on an island. Upon accepting this apprenticeship position, she expects this part of her life to be calm and boring, however this is not the case. It’s not long after she arrives that she learns that this small community has its own problems, colorful characters, and stories to tell. For better or for worse, she gets quickly involved like she always lived there. Taking place a little bit over a week, you’ll be traveling across the island, exploring everything Elk has to offer, hanging out with and getting to know your new neighbors, and totally not doing carpentry despite a boat being in the progress of being built. As Elk is hand-drawn with many things hanging out in the open, the developers have luckily predicted that there will be players looking for any and all interactive items. Thus, all the characters and items that Frigg can interact with will be colored in to contrast all the black and white outlined items and scenery. Which certainly helps as some will switch between interactive and not. Every day you’ll run into a story being played out and a minigame. The minigames here were pretty good though some of them did leave me wanting to play them more. Minigames can help lighten the mood, like the dance competition you have at the beginning, playing golf, or even building your own contraption. Though, there are also minigames that brings us right back to the horrible reality and compliments the story it’s with.
