Virtual Villagers is a series of village simulator video games created and developed by independent video game developer and publisher Last Day of Work released as shareware for Windows, Mac OS X and for convergent mobile telephone technology. The games are based on puzzles and strategy and have an underlying motif throughout with a fusion of ethnic and cultural backgrounds surrounding a mythical island called Isola. There are four portions to the island, in which the game is set, being the cardinal points of the compass. The first game, A New Home, is based around organising and growing a village to develop villagers with more skillsets, culminating in giving birth to a child with all five skill sets. The second, The Lost Children, comes from a wandering set of villagers coming upon a group of orphaned children, and creating a thriving village. [source:wikipedia]
