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!

te amo paralives
Es bueno, pero le falta mucho por mejorar en cuanto a las mecánicas. Tiende a traspasarse objetos y que no se multitasking es un desventaja
Fonctionne correctement sur MacOs (avec un MacM1) , et également en SteamDeck proprement. C'est vraiment sympa à jouer , et véritablement surpris de l'état du jeu pendant la période de l'accès anticipé.. Je recommande fortement ce jeu de simulation de vie qu'est PARALIVES
Paralives is super fun so far! Yes, Live Mode gameplay is limited, but I am absolutely loving Paramaker and Build Mode. And yeah, it's buggy in a few areas, but it's early access. Cut them some slack. They're not claiming to have released a polished game. Also, unlike another popular life sim game, the Paralives team has officially stated that DLCs and updates will be free. I hate how cash-grabby that other life sim game has gotten. So while you are technically paying the fair full price for the Paralives base game currently, you can rest easy knowing that you've made your investment now. It's over. It's done. You're locking that purchase in right now before the price for the base game likely goes up after early access. And you know what? You also get to help shape the game by providing feedback in early access. Updates are rolled out frequently (about once a week). The team is small and they are committed to staying small. The lead developer has said that initial sales on launch have already enabled them to sustain their team for several years. They could have easily gotten greedy and upped the price or decided to charge for DLCs and updates, but that's not their style. Bless them, honestly. And if you do get bored between updates, there are so many mods available in Steam Workshop to change up the gameplay. This game is such a breath of fresh air. And while I was worried about the art style at first, it's growing on me. And you can always change up the esthetics with mods as well. There's no reason not to buy it now unless you have strong feelings about playing an unfinished game and you don't have the patience for the odd bug. So what are you waiting for? Try it out!
The game has a well-rounded build system that has groundbreaking features in a life sim game. Though live mode has miles to go, the foundation is there. I love the incorporation of RPG mechanics into a life sim. Looking forward to the years to come with this game.
its everything sims wishes it was
Paralives is a dream come true for a life sim sandbox. I like its character creator, the gameplay and the conversation system. And there is so much more to express creativity with storytelling and custom content. The game fully embrases modding and the Steam workshop. I played it mostly on my Steam Deck - it's laggy, but totally playable.
played for 4,6h without even noticing time went by, love it :)
Achei o jogo em sí bem legal, como ainda está em desenvolvimento acredito que ainda faltam muitas coisas para realmente se considerar um jogo completo, mas bate de frente com outros jogos como Inzoi e The Sims, tem muito potencial
10 a 0 no the sims
