The role-playing game Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has received a free update introducing a roguelike mode. Titled Sinister Broker Bazario's Schemes, the update is available now across PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch platforms. It brings a new area called Snoozeland, transforming the slow-life RPG into a challenging, procedural adventure.
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, an underrated slow-life role-playing game that blends town building, resource harvesting, crafting, and adventure elements, launched last year on Switch 2 and other platforms. Drawing comparisons to a mix of Animal Crossing and Dragon Quest, it offers a bright, colorful, and uplifting experience focused on everyday progression and exploration.
The surprise new year update, released on January 2, 2026, introduces the Sinister Broker Bazario's Schemes content pack at no additional cost. This addition centers on Snoozeland, a new location that shifts the game's pace into roguelike territory. Players begin each run as an unequipped level-one character, facing a world that rearranges itself with every attempt. The core mechanic emphasizes one life per run, testing how far players can progress through on-the-job learning of new 'lives'—the game's job, class, and role system—while scavenging for equipment.
Snoozeland features alchemy robots that players can feed with unwanted materials and gear to potentially generate powerful items. A formidable end-boss guards substantial rewards, encouraging repeated challenges. The mode appears self-contained, with progress and characters resetting after each run, ensuring no lasting impact on the main game world.
This update enhances the game's appeal by injecting high-stakes variety into its relaxed formula, potentially drawing back players who enjoyed its launch on Switch 2.
