What is Palia like?

Cook, fish and farm in a town shared with other players, and friends join your party.

Palia is a free online life sim, so you share the village with other players and each of you keeps your own character and progress. You add each other from the social panel and invite your friend to your party, which moves them onto your server instance. Party members can fish, hunt and forage together, and to cook at a friend's place you visit their housing plot. Players report a party limit of 4.
