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!

✦ 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.

here is my review sitting at over 100 hours clocked in: if you're mentally comparing this game to /that other franchise/ of life simulation games, as most of us have inevitably done, it's damn near overstimulating in comparison. it's so chill in here dawg. in this game, i've found a love for building and decorating i wasn't expecting, i'm finding myself spending hours decorating with so much intention. right now i'm working on a generational mansion for the premade elder lesbian couple, daydreaming about their upcoming adoptive teen daughter's life. adding specific details, (from the base game & about 70 mods total) aligned with the characters personalities i'm imagining with the open ended "vibes" system of personalities. it leaves so much room for imagination. most of all using my own images i can spend hours looking for through Pinterest (f^ck AI tho) etc. to make my own rugs, pillows, curtains, tiles, window panels, posters, family portraits, polaroids, & more. the storytelling potential is absolutely endless, without any strict borders, it's a true sandbox with everything you could dream of basically already in the base game, and if it hasn't been released yet, there's more th…

If you're a fan of the build mode on the sims, this game is for you. But if you prefer playing the live mode, it isn't, because it's really lacking in a lot of ways and it still needs maybe one year of development to be fully ready for a 1,0 release. But overall it's pretty satisfying. I would maybe suggest some ameliorations on the character building choices though...

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
