Tencent Games and LilliLandia Games have opened sign-ups for a PC (Steam) alpha test for new fantasy life simulation game Animula Nook. Players who sign-up for the Animula Nook PC alpha test must have a Facebook or Google account to log in and receive access, and the account will be tied to the first PC used to log into the game, so players can’t switch to a different device, either.

- OS: Windows 10 (64-bit) or later
- CPU: Intel Core i5 (11th Gen) / AMD Ryzen 5 5000 series or equivalent

Here’s an overview of Animula Nook, via the official Steam page:
Ever wondered what it’s like to call a desk your home? Shrink into a cozy miniature world to explore and live among giant everyday objects. Here, you’ll collect sunlight & raindrops, build dream homes, and befriend whimsical folk. In Animula Nook, the smallest things tell the biggest stories.
Discover a Tiny Yet Immense World
Venture into vibrant landscapes hidden in plain sight. Explore lush, resource-packed houseplant forests, delve into the mysterious depths of a forgotten well, and navigate other awe-inspiring (and sometimes perilous) corners of your home. Every expedition is an adventure filled with surprises, whether you’re unearthing rare materials or meeting a new friend.
Collect Beyond the Ordinary
In this tiny world, sunlight, raindrops, gentle breezes—even forgotten scents—become precious materials waiting to be discovered. Coins, buttons, and other small wonders are scattered throughout the land—each one not just a resource, but a lost treasure waiting for a new purpose.
Build with Everyday Objects
Milk cartons become charming houses, teacups turn into bustling cafés, and spice jars transform into tiny, glowing shops. Use the objects around you to build, decorate, and customize a miniature haven with unique furniture and personal touches. Start on your desk, then expand your creations across windowsills, cabinets, or even inside a vibrant, living vivarium.
Befriend the World’s Tiny Folk
This miniature world is full of life. Meet a delightful cast of residents, from tiny humanoids to whimsical beings you’ve never seen before. Exchange gifts, create memories, and watch as your bonds deepen over time. As you grow closer, their stories will unfold in more personal and surprising ways. With enough care, you might even convince them to move in—just be sure to build them a space they’ll love.
Define Yourself in Every Detail
Customize your character, express yourself creatively, and make the world truly yours. With an endless assortment of outfits, accessories, furniture, and tools, everything you create is a reflection of you.
Convenient Creative Tools
Bring your ideas to life with intuitive tools that make creativity effortless. Sketch blueprints for builds, dismantle objects into modular components, and see your imagination come to life with ease.
