Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has impressively sold over 500,000 copies within just three days of its release, receiving thousands of ‘very positive’ reviews on Steam. To commemorate this milestone, a special illustration was shared on social media, and the team expressed their gratitude to players embarking on new adventures.

Reflecting on this success, one can’t help but contrast it with the game’s initial launch in 2014, which had a much different reception. Despite not receiving negative reviews, the game was critiqued for its rudimentary gameplay and slow pacing, with one review notably remarking, “living the dream? Not quite,” awarding it only three stars.

Fast forward to today, and the favorable feedback for this latest installment clearly indicates significant improvements over the years. A Reddit user even declared it the “best game they’ve played in a long time,” showcasing a strong demand for sequels. There’s an overwhelming sense of excitement, and it seems likely that new players will find themselves lost in its expansive world.
