About

Palia is a free-to-play life simulation MMO where players take on the role of humans who have mysteriously appeared in a world primarily inhabited by a species called the Majiri. Gameplay centers on village life activities including fishing, foraging, hunting, mining, insect catching, cooking, furniture making, gardening, and ranching. Players work to become members of Kilima Village by gathering and crafting materials, with the adjacent Bahari Bay area offering higher-level resources and server-wide events.
Storyline

Humans disappeared from the world of Palia thousands of years ago and were believed to be extinct. After mysteriously reappearing, a human newcomer is welcomed into Kilima Village by the Majiri. While building a new home and forming relationships with the villagers, they explore ancient ruins and search for answers about humanity’s disappearance and sudden return.
