The developers at Singularity 6 invited me to jump in and take a look at\u00a0<em>Palia<\/em> ahead of its closed beta launch today. Excited for the opportunity to make some friends and go fishing, I pounced on the offer.<\/p>\n<p>After a few days of casually exploring and immersing myself in the world of\u00a0<em>Palia<\/em>, I&#8217;ve come to the following conclusion: <em>Palia<\/em> is exactly what it advertises it is. A cozy experience that focuses on the social aspects of playing a community-driven game.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Palia | Official Cinematic Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lYI7HGeCF_s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><i>Palia <\/i>is not your traditional MMO<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to choose a class and venture out and slay some beasts or delve into a dungeon, that is not\u00a0<em>Palia<\/em>. In fact, the only type of combat you will encounter is a system to hunt creatures for meat and furs. Instead, you&#8217;ll be doing a plethora of life skills including chopping down trees, mining minerals, and best of all: fishing.<\/p>\n<p>After agreeing to be a responsible, kind, and helpful neighbor, you will create your character and enter the world. The character creation offers a variety of options standard in MMO titles today.<\/p>\n<p>From a lore perspective, your journey into\u00a0<em>Palia<\/em> is pretty remarkable. Humans are considered a legendary species, having disappeared thousands of years ago. Nobody knows where they went, but you and your fellow players are the first Humans to be seen in a long time. You&#8217;re not quite sure how you got here, but thankfully the inhabitants welcome you with open arms. From here it&#8217;s your task to learn about the world, while also working to make a home in it.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll soon stumble upon the community in\u00a0<em>Palia<\/em>: Kilima Village. If you&#8217;ve played games like\u00a0<em>Harvest Moon<\/em> or\u00a0<em>Stardew Valley,<\/em> you&#8217;ll recognize the NPC interactions here. You have a separate reputation with each NPC which you can improve by chatting with them and giving them gifts. Of course, every NPC has their own likes and dislikes, so it&#8217;s up to you to get to know them and befriend them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_394775\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-394775\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Palia-First-Plot.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-394775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Palia-First-Plot.png?w=640\" alt=\"Palia first homestead plot\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-394775\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot by Destructoid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Eight life skills to level<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month we got to see gameplay for the upcoming social MMO Palia, and it left me feeling excited.
