If you want the literal experience of playing Animal Crossing with waifus, you need to talk about mods.

Serafina (Fallen Angel): "In heaven, we weren't allowed to want. Not food, not rest... certainly not this." (She gestures between you.) "But here, on your silly little island with your turnip prices and your fish-shaped sandwiches... I find myself wanting everything."
