In the midst of the Covid-19 lockdown, An Asylum turned to Animal Crossing: New Horizons in search of a new creative outlet during the rough period of isolation. With the game’s ability to let players customize their own designs, An Asylum utilized Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a platform to connect with the community by creating digital apparels.

To take things further, An Asylum created two complete islands featuring distinct themes and held a photoshoot to showcase the "Past Life" collection of T-shirts, made using the game's pattern maker.

For a month, the islands were open for residents and friends from the community to explore, download T-shirt designs, and more. This initiative not only provided a creative channel for An Asylum but also fostered a sense of community and connectedness during a difficult time.
