"Little people colonize your desktop and live in real-time.."
How will you lead your tribe?
Last Day of Work is introducing
"Virtual Villagers", a casual downloadable game for Windows and
Macintosh computers that simulates a small village and allows the
player to manage and guide the villagers as they live, work, mate and
grow.
"Virtual Villagers", like Fish Tycoon, is unique among
real-time games, in that the little villagers will continue to live,
prosper, or die, even if the game is off. The game can only be
suspended if set on pause.
"Virtual Villagers is a fun
combination of simulation and virtual pet games, letting gamers raise
their own little tribe, as well as exploring a rich and mysterious
island." said Arthur Humphrey, LDW's chief executive. "Additionally,
the real-time persistent world feature of the game makes it very
addictive. Players always want to return to see what has changed since
they last played".
Virtual Villagers is set on the fictitious island of Isola, where a lost tribe has landed on its shores.
The
little villagers have food needs, housing needs, technologies to
research and diseases to fight! The player needs to nurture and care
for the displaced tribe by teaching them the basics of survival. As the
village grows and prospers, the villagers become curious about their
mysterious island home and the secrets it holds.
A free trial
version of Virtual Villagers is available for download and the full
version of the game can be purchased for $19.95. For more information,
