Zelda fans obsessed with new Animal Crossing-style game that’s blowing up Steam

A brand-new slow-life RPG inspired by the greats has recently taken Steam by storm and it is not hard to see why.

With the exploration found in The Legend of Zelda and the slow-life atmosphere of Animal Crossing, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is a brand-new casual RPG that has already hit 500,000 sales in just three days.

Allowing the player to switch between 14 unique jobs, known as ‘Lives’, you will be able to enjoy a carefree life in a fantasy world where you can also fish, cook, and shape the island to your liking.

Better yet? The Girl Who Steals Time is a multiplayer title so you can chill with friends or team up to face monsters across the world in epic battles.

“You are an adventurer who sets sail with the archaeologist Edward and his team,” the Steam synopsis reads.

“Following the light emanating from a dragon's fossil, you discover an uncharted, deserted island. A vast abyss, a dragon made of bone, and a girl's message that begs you to save the world...Travel between the island that thrived 1,000 years ago and the present-day island to unravel the mystery of its downfall!”

In The Girl Who Steals Time, your ‘Life’ is your job (painful reality) but in this fantasy world, this is a positive thing as each Life has its own characteristics.

With Gathering Lives, you will need to collect ingredients and materials - or with Crafting Lives, you will create weapons or cook dishes. Combat Lives, as another example, will be perfect for fighting epic monsters.

Better yet, you can switch between Lives at any point so you are never locked to one path.

That is perhaps why Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is currently blowing up Steam so make sure you don’t miss out on the hype.
