Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time
To be honest, I’ve never played a Fantasy Life game, but this really does pique my interest. The whole “slow-life” thing makes the game seem approachable. It also has the classics of many farming sim/RPG games. Being able to shape the island, in terms of landscaping, but also doing dungeon crawls. It honestly looks really neat, keen to jump in!
