The game costs 3,850 yen with tax included, and a 17 percent launch discount brings it to 3,195 yen until November 18. Loftia is a multiplayer life simulation game set on islands floating in the sky, where players farm, craft, explore, and build homes and islands together. Players can rescue animals such as capybaras and turtles to accompany them and dress them in clothes. Community projects let players cooperate on construction to develop the world and unlock new resources, hidden stories, and new islands. The game has three main areas, Loftia City, the Sky Garden, and the Fallen District, and a main story of four chapters. The early access period is planned to last about one year, with new NPCs, quest lines, islands, costumes, and decorations scheduled to be added during that time.","whyItMatters":"Automaton reports the game passed 10,000 concurrent Steam players within hours of launch and holds an 82 percent positive rating across 151 Steam reviews, giving Qloud Games a measurable early audience after a 2023 crowdfunding campaign of about $1.27 million.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Steam page supports Japanese.
