The highly-anticipated community sim MMO Palia is filled to the brim with fun content, combining all the best elements of open-world adventure games with the tranquil coziness offered in titles like Animal Crossing. Players will be able to join up with friends and farm, craft, adventure, and much more within the expansive world of Palia.

Following their first character reveal, in which they showcased a loveable Golem named Einar, Singularity 6—the talented team behind Palia—has just shared details of another prominent NPC we’ll be encountering. Meet Jina, an Apprentice Scholar whose thesis is based on the recent human re-emergence (a mystery phenomenon players will get to unravel for themselves throughout the game).

The Palia team has confirmed that not only is Jina able to become your best friend, she is also romanceable! If thoughtful bookworms are just your type, get ready to stock up on all the old novels you can collect. Palia will incorporate a gift-giving system to boost relationships, a process that fans of games like Harvest Moon and Rune Factory are very familiar with.
