About Palia

Palia poster

Palia is a cozy community sim MMO built to be enjoyed with friends. You step into a vibrant new world and craft the life you have always wanted, filling your days with fishing, farming, cooking and crafting while getting to know a cast of colorful characters. As an adventure, role-playing and simulation experience, it invites you to settle in, take things at your own pace and simply feel at home.

You can live off the land however you please. Tend a home plot, nurture a garden, catch insects or forage across Kilima Valley and Bahari Bay for ingredients and rare critters. Woven through this relaxed lifestyle is an evolving mystery about what happened to the ancient humans, and you reappear in the world alongside other players to help unravel it. Befriending the local Majiri, learning their backstories and building relationships, romance included, is a core part of the journey, as is honing skills like fishing, hunting and crafting while giving back to the community through gifts.

Making your house a home is half the joy. With hundreds of craftable items and customization options, you decorate your plot until it feels uniquely yours, and you can shape your character to match. Palia works solo or in a shared world, and its friendly, always-welcoming tone runs through everything you do on PC.
