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!

AMAZING GAME!!!! genuinely best game in its category (coming from a lifelong sims fan), just beautiful mindful design and stunning graphics and artistic design, right down to the music your paras play. absolutely love the attention to detail and cannot wait to see where the game goes in the future (hopefully letting us play as pets whenever they add them) LOVE THIS GAME!!!!
I am loving this game, it is so customizable with build modes and you have full freedom to go with your para around the map without needing to wait for lots to load. It is more immersive than sims and other games. Highly recommended.
Fun to play and user-friendly.
Extremely promising life simulation game. They're not afraid to do things that were never possible before (ie. height differences), daily bonuses and much more! Very excited tocontinue playing as it becomes more and more whole!
I always have an urge to play customization games just to see my ocs in media and its never ending i need more games where i can play as them. 10/10 can capture my little guys from my mind so well.
so much fun! Can't wait to see where the game goes in the next couple years :)
If you are an avid sims player, you will LOVE what this game has to offer
This is a nice life sim, especially considering it is in early access. Over 23 hours of game time I have only had my game crash once and any glitches that occur are not game breaking. It is a little bare bones at the moment, but there is already a large community of modders that can keep you happy while the team is finishing the game and applying permanent patches. I love the building tools- there is almost TOO MUCH freedom in what is possible. I also love the way conversations between Paras work- no spamming one thing over and over. It reminds me to slow down. I also appreciate the collections mini-quests aspect, as it is a built in way to explore the game and give some direction for those who need it.
I love this game. Early Access and is already so brilliant. I really look forward to the time i get to play this each day.
so many more options than the sims
