Palia is a massively-multiplayer simulation game, set in a world where all of the NPCs are freakishly good-looking elves, with an environment that is so stunning you’ll need to set time aside just to soak it all in. It’s precisely what you’d expect from a cozy game, encompassing all of the standard hunting, farming, cooking, building, and other sim mechanics that have become synonymous with the genre. In Palia, however, there’s no real end goal, just a strive towards developing a thriving community.
