About
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.
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?
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.
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!

O jogo ainda está muito cru. Existem bugs bastante básicos que deveriam ter sido corrigidos antes do lançamento, mesmo em um processo simples de QA. Alguns exemplos: se você inicia uma interação com outro personagem, não existe a opção de cancelar. Você é obrigado a escolher uma ação, caso contrário o menu fica aberto indefinidamente. Também não é possível realizar ações simultâneas que já são esperadas em jogos do gênero. Você só consegue ler um livro em pé, não pode usar o celular enquanto está sentado, entre outras limitações que passam a sensação de um sistema ainda incompleto. Além disso, há diversos bugs de comportamento, como personagens descendo do segundo andar sem existir uma escada, teleportando de um lugar para outro ou simplesmente desaparecendo e reaparecendo. Joguei cerca de duas horas e acabei pedindo reembolso. O jogo tem muito potencial e acredito que possa se tornar um excelente life simulator no futuro. Porém, no estado atual, ainda não justifica o preço cobrado. Outro ponto que me incomodou foi a direção artística. Achei o jogo cartunesco demais. Os jogos da franquia *The Sims* (principalmente os anteriores ao 4) sempre tiveram um humor mais irônico e sarcástico, o que fazia com que agradassem tanto adultos quanto jogadores mais novos. Sinto que *Paralives* ainda não encontrou esse equilíbrio e, por isso, acaba transmitindo uma sensação mais infantil do que eu esperava.
For earl release, it's amazing. Obviously needs more polishing and content, but so far I am having a lot of fun
Despite the bugs and bumpy in-game moments that come with early access, the time I've spent playing this game has been enjoyable, funny, and 100% worth the price. The bones are strong, and I'm excited to play along with the journey as the game develops.
Still a little buggy but very fun. I'm excited to see where this goes
Its in pre-release, so play it with that in mind and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the amount of game play that already there. Its also interesting seeing the gameplay features and fixes that each update brings.
Paralives gameplay idea is cool and very invoative i like the fact it dosn't holds the players hand in coustmization and the fact you can build where ever you want is amazing; However because of the open world of paralives the game may be too stuttery for most players; Yes i know the game is in early access but i hope the devs find a way to optimize this huge world because i see al lot of protential in this game; Also i like the repsintation that paralives offers to LGBTQ+ , Disabled and black communtys making it very inclusive and welcoming to those players. All in all paralives has alot of protentilal but still has some kinks that need to be sorted out.
O jogo é maravilhoso, está em acesso antecipado então tem seus bugs (que diga-se de passagem são - em sua maioria - mais engraçados do que frustrantes), tem uma infinidade de coisas para se fazer, e você realmente sente vontade de jogar e criar uma vida pro seu boneco, nao apenas ficar construindo. Você escolhe para onde conversas irão, se diverte em explorar o jogo, não tem a necessidade de ir para tela de carregamento sempre q quer ir para outro local do mapa... enfim, posso ficar horas nomeando os motivos do pq o jogo realmente tem seu charme e pq vale a pena comprar, mesmo em acesso antecipado (tanto q o pobre do meu marido - e dono desta conta - teve q ficar uns bons 10 minuitos de audio meu ontem contando pq esse jogo é tao maravilhoso, mesmo contendo defeitos) obrigada aos devs, claramente tem muito carinho com o projeto :)))
Me encanta el juego y todos los detalles que tiene. Me encanta el sistema de trabajos y carreras. No puedo esperar a ver como mejora conforme avanza el desarrollo
fun and cozy! runs quite well on my macbook
LOVE THIS!
