Palia is Singularity 6's cozy MMO about village life. You play a human who wakes up in a world where humans vanished long ago, and the locals greet you with curiosity.

There is no PvP and no demanding combat: most of your time goes into building and decorating your home plot, gardening, fishing, hunting, foraging and cooking. You can befriend and romance the villagers, whose stories unfold through quests. The world is shared, so neighbours help each other and team up on tasks such as cooking big communal meals.

Palia suits fans of Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing who want something similar online with friends. Players looking for challenge or power progression will find it too gentle.
