The MC, Mayi, who has lost her memory, was found in a cave by the production team coming to build a village in this area, and then lived with them and participated in the development of the village together.

Life In Yima is a pixel platform indie ARPG game made by a single lonely indie developer. This game is filled with rich main and side stories, several mini-games. It also features: - Dynamic day-night cycle, which takes an important place in the game mechanic. - Calendar system: the game records the story of Yima village between April and September. - Character development: Fighting monsters, Learning skills, Upgrading character levels and weapons, a simplified RPG experience. - NPC reputation: improving NPCs’ reputations by giving gifts and spending time with them to unlock side stories.

The production team led by the leader of the team – Baohua, comes to build a new village in the deep forest and accidentally find a lost person of unknown origin, the MC – Mayi. After deciding to take Mayi with the team, Mayi witnesses the process of the village from nothing to something as a helper. From the beginning to the end, the appearance of the village will be changed drastically!

There is plenty of time for the game, and Mayi is also a favored one, and does not need to worry particularly about the difficulty of this game - even if she is inadvertently defeated in battle, it does not mean that the game has failed, and Mayi can even return to the game in a stronger form. (Even skipping time directly to the plot point is possible under certain situations!)

Not only the main stories that must happen at a certain point in time, you can also unlock NPC’s side stories by improving their reputations, along with nearly 30 CGs. Enjoy the leisure time with villagers~
