* GuiltBasedGaming: If you leave your villagers alone for too long, you're likely to return to nothing but skeletons.

* ShoutOut: [[spoiler: The fish of fertility]] from Virtual Villagers: A New Home is the same [[spoiler: fish of fertility]] from ''VideoGame/FishTycoon''. Likewise, the plants and fish you are trying to discover in Plant Tycoon and Fish Tycoon are from Isola.

* SequelDifficultySpike: New Believers shows this as it has most of the areas blocked off by enemies called heathens. Clearing them requires the challenge of magics, multi-tasking, and cooperation.

* SequelGap: Has two. Usually each sequel took a year to release, with the exception of Tree of Life and New Believers.
** Tree of Life: 2008 to 2010.
** Origins 2: 2010 to 2017.

* ''Virtual Villagers: A New Home'' takes place after a volcano eruption destroys the island that a small tribe lived on. They escape in boats and float for days before crashing onto the beautiful island of Isola. Once there, you must build a tribe while solving puzzles to unlock the mysteries of Isola.

* EarlyGameHell: Generally in the beginning you have no infinite food supplies, but later in the game you get some infinite food sources.

* CapcomSequelStagnation: And how. Almost nothing changes between games, though, it is just an island simulator.

----

* VideoGameCaringPotential: Unsurprisingly, given its status as a SimulationGame. It's possible to get very attached to particular villagers, or to your village as a whole.

** If the female is prevented from going to the shack the baby will appear out of thin air in the mother's arms, fully dressed in swaddling clothes.

* GRatedSex: When you drop your villagers on another villager of the opposite gender, a kiss sound is played and the two will head to the shack, and the woman will come out with a baby. [[BeyondTheImpossible Occasionally before the male even gets to the shack, she will come out with a baby.]]

* AlwaysIndenticalTwins: Occasionally a mother will have twins or (rarely) triplets. They are simply clones of each other.

* Virtual Villagers: A New Home takes place after a volcano eruption destroys the island that a small tribe lived on. They escape in boats and float for days before crashing onto the beautiful island of Isola. Once there, you must build a tribe while solving puzzles to unlock the mysteries of Isola. [[spoiler: The game ends when one of your villagers gives birth to the Golden Child and he opens a cave, revealing that someone had been there not too long ago...]]
* Virtual Villagers 2: The Lost Children: Two TooDumbToLive villagers venture into the cave and fall down a waterfall, landing on the other shore of Isola, where they find some [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin lost children]]. They begin making a new tribe there while discovering more mysteries; [[spoiler: The game ends when the Gong of Life is assembled, which, when rung, grants either misfortune or good will]]. A lot of people thought this ended the series, but it made [[CashCowFranchise money]], so...
* Virtual Villagers 3: Secret City: A group of villagers venture to the North shore of Isola, where they find an abandoned civilization. They decide to [[OnceAnEpisode make a new tribe there]] and discover more mysteries of Isola. [[spoiler: At the end of the game, the old tribal chief and his wife appear as ghosts, and tell the villagers the story of the island.]] [[CapcomSequelStagnation It's not over yet folks.]]
* Virtual Villagers 4: The Tree of Life: The game that ultimately [[BrokenBase scattered the fanbase]], The Tree of Life features, what else, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a tree of life]], that your villagers have to nurture back to health. This was the very first game that you could select what villagers you wanted to start out with. [[spoiler: It ends with you saving and the tree and [[OnceAnEpisode discovering more secrets of Isola.]]]]
* Virtual Villagers 5: The New Believers: The most recent game, New Believers finally makes the player a literal God, as they have to get some heathens to believe in them, [[ItMakesSenseInContext a giant flying hand god which is worshipped by the villagers]]. Guess how it ends. [[HappyEnding Just take]] [[OnceAnEpisode a wild guess.]]

'''Tropes in the series'''
* BrokenBase: While it seems almost [[BeyondTheImpossible impossible]], Virtual Villagers suffered a massive broken base when the forums became extremely strict, scattering most (If not all) of the members who had been there since Virtual Villagers: A New Home. The same effect occurred with the games; the older veterans of the series believe the games stopped being charming at Virtual Villagers 4.
* CapcomSequelStagnation: And how. Almost nothing changes between games, though, it is just an island simulator...
