Stardew Valley meets Animal Crossing in new free game you can grab today

If you’re a fan of cosy life-simulator games you won’t want to miss the Steam game that launches later today.

The game we’re talking about is called Palia, a Steam game that’ll release in about six hours at the time of writing.

Take a look at Palia below

In short, it’s a cosy game where you put together a home which you can decorate as you see fit, build a farm, and explore the gorgeous landscapes that surround you whilst solving its mysteries.

There are plenty of colourful characters hanging around to chat with to make the world feel less lonely, though if you’d rather sack off exploring for the day and go fishing instead you’re more than welcome to.

Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing fans will really get a kick out of this one, as while the game is gorgeous to look at there’s also plenty to keep you occupied.

It features an in-depth crafting system where you can slap together an assortment of tools and decorative items provided you have the materials, with more crafting recipes to unlock as you progress.

There’s even a paraglider to traverse the valleys with, which I'm sure will pique the interest of Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom fans.

It’s a delightful looking game, and it looks like you could really sink in a good few hours as you build your own little homestead.

The promise of mysteries to uncover also sounds of great interest, as it’d probably get a bit tedious going out and foraging for supplies without any end goal in sight.

Palia is not currently available on Steam at the time of writing, but it will be in the next few hours, it’ll also be free-to-play so you can experience everything the game has to offer for absolutely nothing.
