About Paralives

Hop on, we’re leaving, and your new life awaits! Paralives is a sandbox life simulation game with a great cast of Townies to meet, as well as a vibrant open-world town to explore and make your own. You will feel right at home, should you choose to embark.

What kind of life will you build?

Whether you focus on your career, finding love, building a family, or becoming the richest person in town, the story is yours to write in Paralives. But twists and forks in the road await. What will you leave behind?

You live and then you die. At least, do it in a nice house!

Thanks to an ever-evolving catalog of furniture, decor and clutter objects, staging the perfect homes for your Parafolks will be a breeze: resize, recolor, stack and place items freely for a tactile building experience.

Paralives allows truly grid-less constructions with curved walls, split-level floors and more. Recreating your house or building an intricate 8-story mansion has never been this easy.

There are lives to create and stories to tell

You will be handed an advanced character creator called the Paramaker. Adjust the height of your Parafolks, tweak a wide array of facial and body features, design stylish outfits and create complex personalities. From head to toe, no small detail will be left out!

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the game's cozy life simulation features, including its conversation system, daily events, and charming artistic touches, with many excited about its early access potential and romance options. However, concerns center on significant bugs—particularly characters getting stuck in place during basic activities—and a shallow gameplay loop that lacks challenge and depth compared to other life sims. The game shows promise but needs stability fixes and more engaging mechanics to hold player interest long-term.

I don't hate it but it hard crashes like every 20 min so its unplayable at this point , hopefully updates make it run better.

game is still in early access yet has more features for everything than the Sims games, which is crazy. the ccs on the workshop also work great and are for the most part very qualitative!

There just isn't enough game. i can't recommend it right now. not for full price. i would wait until it has more content as it seems promising. most of the furniture does nothing so it's mostly just a paradise for people who like to make doll houses. i plan to revisit it once live mode gets a few more updates.

Paralives is worth the wait. While it is bare bones and laggy right now due to early access, the dev team does a fantastic job at telling us on what's going on, and providing QoL updates, as well as many other features. Imo, Paralives is already doing a better job at communication. The lag I encounter is, thankfully, around the same level I encountered with (modded) Sims 4. Excited to see where Paralives goes, and Im fully along for the ride!

When it comes to decorating and cooking meals that make logical sense, Paralives so far, is reigning supreme! Dislike that you cannot edit Parafolk lifespan. I was an elder and expectant mother at the same time .
