Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a quirky life sim that’s worth buying at this discount

Looking to start your own island paradise full of Miis based on family, friends, and celebrities, but don’t feel like paying full fare? Woot has Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream for Switch on sale for $52.99 (usually $59.95). Sort of like Animal Crossing, but more off-kilter, this unique game sees you building and managing relationships on an island of custom Mii characters. You’ll set up and decorate housing, discover what the inhabitants like and dislike, and watch as they interact with each other and form their own community. This discount is for the region-free international version (so it’ll work in all Switch consoles), and includes improved loading times for Switch 2 owners.

The second game in the series, Living the Dream adds a variety of new tools for you to build your island paradise, which folks have used to recreate simulacrums of celebrities, fictional characters, and real people in their lives. Once they’ve settled in, these characters will mingle in unpredictable ways. They may date, become platonic besties, argue, or possibly get married, frequently leading to situations that are as touching as they are funny.
