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!

Paralives surprised me. It's got a beautiful art style and the gameplay, while pretty basic at its current Early Access stage, is engaging. It's got some bugs of course, but most are non-intrusive and easy to work around. The group feature is one of my favorite aspects of Live Mode, and I imagine once the team adds more social interaction cards it'll be even better. I definitely favor this approach to socializing, it feels more RPG-like. The build mode is fantastic, easily the best I've played in a life sim. It does need more polish, specifically with placing stairs and when changing the size of a room--it tends to delete floors or objects. So I'd recommend getting your floorplan how you want it before you start decorating, and turning off autosave while building because the undo button doesn't always fix those issues. I play on a MacBook Neo which is under the minimum requirements, but I only notice frame rate dips or choppiness in Live Mode. Building is generally pretty smooth. If you're wondering if your lower-end computer could run this game, it probably can! Just know that the performance will take a hit, but at least for me it's not unplayable by any means. If you decide to try it out, play a good amount of Live Mode first, especially in the town square, to see how it runs on your computer. Anything that does meet those minimum specs should run the game just fine. Overall I'm impressed that a small team of people managed to pull off a game like this. I can't wait to see how they improve it going forward!
le faltan cositas pero es muy entretenido para construir y dejar fluir la creatividad al decorar, falta ropa y mas cabellos y asi pero bueno supongo que estoy acostumbrada al otro juego y es por eso que me siento extraña pero hasta ahora esta increibleeee tiene mucho potencial!!
QUE JUEGO DEL BIEN, el sims si realmente escuchara a sus jugadores
muito bom
Adoro la quantità di scelte nella personalizzazione degli oggetti, nella disposizione negli stessi e nel cambio dimensioni. Veramente incredibile. La cosa che consiglierei è il caricamento della piantina di un appartamento (anche personale) cosi da poterla ricreare con la GENAI. Potremmo partire da uno schizzo fatto a mano e ricreare le case dei nostri sogni in pochissimo. Trovo poco stimolante la parte delle conversazioni. Un po complesso capire le dinamiche di approccio. Tutto sommato un bel gioco di simulazione <3
Konečně se objevil titul, který dokáže skutečně konkurovat sérii The Sims. Konkurence je v tomto žánru potřeba, zvlášť když se z The Sims postupem času stal ekosystém plný drahých DLC, jejichž celková cena je za mě neakceptovatelná. Obzvlášť když hra cílí především na mladší hráče. Tvůrci totiž slibují, že většina budoucích aktualizací bude zdarma v rámci základní hry. Má tedy smysl koupit si Paralives už teď, v předběžném přístupu? Za mě rozhodně ano. Hru jsem vyzkoušel a je sice pravda, že jí zatím chybí spousta funkcí i obsahu, ale to, co během hraní budete postrádat, hravě vynahradí radost ze zakládání dalších a dalších Parafolků. Editor postav je totiž skvěle zpracovaný (dost možná i lépe než v The Sims) a vypadají prostě jedinečně. Velkým překvapením pro mě bylo také samotné město. Působí živě a můžete plynule přepínat mezi pohledem na ulici a jednotlivými domácnostmi podle chuti. Přesně to je něco, co mi v The Sims vždycky chybělo. Zábavný je i systém začátku nového dne, kdy si pomocí karet určujete směr, kterým se bude váš Parafolk ubírat. Je to svěží nápad, který dává hratelnosti vlastní identitu. Hře chybí zatím čeština a ano, v této fázi vás život jednoho Parafolka může po čase začít nudit. Pak si ale vytvoříte dalšího, zkusíte jinou osobnost, jiný příběh nebo jinou domácnost a hra vás okamžitě vtáhne zpátky. A už jen to je za mě známka toho, že mají vývojáři našlápnuto opravdu správným směrem.
ITs refreshing
Great game. Better than sims.
polecam tak poprostu.
The cozy element of this game really brings out a different perspective on life-sim games. It's relaxing yet you still feel the kick that you feel when you play other lifesim games.
