The cozy game era is around the corner. Who does not like to relax<br />

after a long day in a different reality where you can create your<br />

own world? The place where you can garden and decorate your<br />

house. If you are one of those people, I have good news for you.<br />

Palia is the perfect game for relaxation. In the world of Palia, you<br />

get a plot of land on which you can create your own house, a garden<br />

and various crafting machines, such as a seed-making equipment.<br />

However, Palia is more than a cozy game with the gameplay where<br />

you grow something, sell it and decorate your house. The game has<br />

a main storyline which is about solving a big mystery. I will tell<br />

you a little bit about it, but just do not tell anyone. Why do people<br />

reappear out of nowhere on this land that has been unmanned for<br />

a long time and is filled only with magical creatures?<br />

The game is filled only with magical in-game characters, but you,<br />

as well as other people on the server, are humans, since the game<br />

is an open multiplayer world (MMO). Thus, Palia is a cozy game<br />

with repetitive relaxing action sequences, but is also kind of an<br />

adventure and solving riddles type of game. Moreover, it means<br />

that you can play together with your friends on the same server.<br />

Isn’t that cool? I know the answer - it is!<br />

In-game characters are the inhabitants of the world and are<br />

quite diverse, meaning that each one has its own backstory and<br />

individual personality. By building and improving relationships<br />

you get access to individual quests that help you get to know<br />

the inhabitants better. Some of them are trying to improve the<br />

relationship with their teenage daughter; some are rebellious<br />

and want to follow their own path not chosen by their parents. I<br />

can say that the game is not just a cozy game that is sharpened<br />

on the performance of monotonous tasks, as it helps the brain to<br />

rest. Indeed, the mysteries of the past of this world is not the only<br />

mysteries that awaits you in the game. When you are in the mood<br />

for relaxation you can fish, collect materials, decorate your house,<br />
