About the Game
A relaxed open-world RPG where you switch between 14 jobs, build your own island, and team up with friends.
FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time is a relaxed, slow-paced role-playing game from LEVEL5 Inc. Its central idea is that your job is your life: you can switch between 14 different jobs at any moment and shape your day around whichever one suits your mood. The story opens with you sailing alongside archaeologist Edward and his team, following a glow from a dragon fossil to an unknown, uninhabited island. There you encounter an endless abyss, a skeletal flying dragon, and a mysterious message from a girl asking you to save the world. From there the adventure stretches across a thousand years to uncover why the island fell into decline.
The core loop revolves around three job families. Gathering jobs collect ingredients and raw materials, crafting jobs turn those materials into weapons or meals, and combat jobs take on monsters head-on. The materials you gather feed into the big project of the game: rebuilding the island's former prosperity. You can place buildings and furniture, expand your home, and reshape the land itself by reshaping terrain, digging river channels, and planning roads. Because every job feeds into the same island, switching roles keeps the rhythm fresh.
The setting is a large open world, which the store page describes as the widest continent in the series. You can climb cliffs, cross rivers, and ride mounts through a new action system that makes getting around part of the fun. Multiplayer is another major pillar: up to four players can cooperate, visiting each other's islands or exploring dungeons together. Players with two controllers can also pick a local two-player mode and adventure side by side without an internet connection. Taken together, the game blends cozy life-sim habits with a fairly large-scale adventure.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy cozy life sims mixed with RPG progression will find plenty to do here, from fishing and cooking to designing an island from the ground up. It also suits anyone who likes cooperative play, since up to four players can join in and two-controller local co-op lets a partner play beside you.
Not Recommended For
If you want a tight, combat-focused action RPG, the job-switching and island-building systems may feel like a side focus rather than the main event. Players who prefer short, tightly paced campaigns may find the broad world and many systems demanding of their time.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Steam users rate FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time as Very Positive, which is 極度好評 on the Steam Taiwan store, with 92% of reviews being positive. The review volume is in the tens of thousands, a substantial sample that gives the rating real weight.
On Steam, Very Positive generally signals that a large majority of reviewers were happy with the game, and a percentage this high from a large pool suggests the verdict is fairly stable. Ratings built on a small number of reviews can swing sharply, so a bigger pool makes the percentage more trustworthy. The label summarizes the overall mood but does not explain the reasons, so read a few full reviews about the job system, the open world, or co-op before you decide.
