Part of the Isola series byLast Day of Work ↗(HTTP only)
Virtual Villagers: A New Home is a real-time life simulation where a small tribe of castaways washes up on the island of Isola. You guide them to build shelter, grow food, research technologies, and solve the island's ancient puzzles — all while the villagers live, age, and have children on their own.
⏱ The game runs in real time, even while closed. On modern hardware it can move much faster than intended. A Cheat Engine speedhack is commonly used to control the pace — speed up to skip waiting, or slow down if the game races ahead too fast.
