About This Game

Game Background

Village of Xi is an idle simulation management game with light RPG elements and story content woven in.

Xi was an infant found by a matchmaker by the river and raised in the village. Years passed, and the day of Xi’s Rite of Coming-of-Age arrived. This birthday feels like a ritual: once it passes, Xi is to take charge of all village affairs. Though a subtle sense of unease lingers, Xi accepts the duty all the same — for she loves this warm, bustling way of life.

Gameplay Overview

Playing as the protagonist Xi, you build a village from nothing. Empty dwellings draw new adult villagers to settle in, and existing villagers may also have children.

Seasons shift. Every year, villagers require rations and supplies to be provided. As the village grows larger, resource demands keep rising. You must construct more production buildings to craft these goods.

Buildings rely on villagers to operate. Xi can step in temporarily to cover work, yet the village ultimately sustains itself through its residents. Xi may personally assign jobs, or build a hiring hall so idle villagers can seek work on their own.

Each building features short casual story animations when Xi visits. These small moments make up the trivial, everyday life of Xi.

Main story arcs for Xi unlock gradually as the village expands.

Bonus Mode

After finishing the full storyline, the Map & Creation system unlocks. You may design custom scenery and buildings, which you can then use in new playthroughs.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

AI tools were heavily used across the game’s development pipeline, including programming, art asset creation, sound design, and CG production.

This was a necessary tradeoff given the limited time and budget constraints of solo development.

That said, the creator affirms that all creative direction, aesthetic choices, subjective judgment, and content framework remained under their full oversight. Extensive original research and exploration went into the work, as this is the product of their own labor.
