“Paralives looks set to rival the life sim in this department too, with a whole array of building options to play around with.”

- GamesRadar+

“It lets you design your home, customise furniture and customise almost every facet of your character’s appearance. There’s also an open world neighbourhood outside your walls to interact with, which will have jobs, friendships and events to take part in.”

- Kotaku

“The characters are designed to be distinct from other games as well as really visible in their environment, so while the buildings and objects have a more realistic look, the Parafolks themselves are a bit more stylised.”

- Rock Paper Shotgun

About the Game

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!
