A Disney Dreamlight Valley player stumbled upon what appeared to be a phantom chicken in their residence. In the midst of the game's Early Access phase, certain players encountered amusing glitches, one of which resulted in a peculiar combination of Fairy Godmother and Merlin.
Disney Dreamlight Valley, an adventure life simulation game, offers its player community a plethora of activities, including quests completion and personalized avatar and space customization. Moreover, regular updates have been introduced, introducing fresh Disney characters, cosmetics, and themed quests. The latest update, titled "The Remembering," showcased the inclusion of Fairy Godmother alongside a Pixar-inspired Star Path.
While collecting materials and experimenting with customization options, some players of Disney Dreamlight Valley stumbled upon entertaining and peculiar glitches in their game. Among them was Reddit user strawberrymusicbox, who noticed an intriguing anomaly in their virtual home—an enigmatic shadow resembling a cooked chicken, mysteriously floating near the ceiling. Additionally, they described the shadow as appearing to breathe.
In the comments section, numerous Disney Dreamlight Valley players expressed their fear and likened the "chicken" shadow to a demonic entity. Meanwhile, others proposed theories regarding the cause of this bug. Some suggested that it could be a result of the avatar's broken shadow, while a few mentioned the possibility of a bunny from the meadow or even Jack-Jack from The Incredibles unexpectedly appearing in their virtual abode.
There was no clear explanation given for how the bug occurred or how it was resolved. Some players suggested that the bug may have been caused by a shadow from a selected companion, which strawberrymusicbox admitted to having. It is possible that temporarily deactivating the animal companions in Disney Dreamlight Valley could fix the bug. Despite the unsettling appearance, the shadow bug did not appear to significantly affect the gameplay and actually brought laughter to the Disney Dreamlight Valley community.
Currently, Disney Dreamlight Valley does not have a specific release date for its full version. It continues to engage players with monthly content updates and improvements to the overall experience. However, the game has faced criticism for its microtransactions, which are expected to become more prominent once the game becomes free-to-play. Developer Gameloft still has time to address any issues that may exist in Disney Dreamlight Valley, with the hope of retaining players and introducing exciting new features.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available in early access on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
