The first chapter in this cool life-sims game series has 3 difficulty levels which allows for hours and hours of gameplay.

The real-time element means that your villagers are doing stuff even when unattended, this is what makes this game so involving and addictive.

Gameplay includes helping your tribe of villagers learn new skills so that they can build their village into a more advanced society.

But you must also help them with the basics, such as making sure that they eat, stay healthy, mate and basically thrive in their new environment.

Alongside this, your other main goal is to explore the island and uncover the mysteries in it. This is a solid time management game that has a unique story and addictive gameplay.
