Paralives: Everything We Know So Far
The game Paralives was born a long time ago when the artist and professional game developer Alex Masse began to give shape to the game in September 2018. However, the reveal came in a Twitter post about ten months later and left the gaming community absolutely crazy. Due to the massive response that was coming from the gaming community, Masse started working on the game and made it his full-time job.
He also promised to incorporate a number of attractive and exciting aspects into this game, which belongs to the genre of life simulation, such as adapted property sizes and flexibility in customizing the furniture. A release date for the game is not yet known after the announcements. For now, the only confirmation we’ve received through Paralives is that it will be available for Mac and Windows through Steam.

Video and customization options
Check out the video below to find out how flexible and easy it will be to build the building in the game of Paralives. Players can click the mouse and drag a space that is not part of the grid boundary. You will also come across a measurement tool that allows players to make a replica of their home and the buildings in the real world. As far as the objects in the game are concerned, you can expect full customization of each one, like stretching the curtains and windows to make them different shapes and sizes. It can also contain other objects like the curtain rod along with the other furniture accessories like the tablecloth etc. Apart from that, you can also take advantage of the color wheel and tool that will help you choose the patterns of the decoration. It gives you endless decorating options when decorating the houses in the Paralives game.
What are the players doing?
Paralives is an upcoming life simulation game that is slated to become the only real alternative for The Sims. In this game, players can build their dream houses, develop characters and live their daily lives with as few restrictions as possible. There are houses in different shapes, the positioning of the stairs that lead in different directions and, as we have already discussed, the use of versatile colors for the tablecloths and the curtains. No matter where you are, whether on a horse, car, or bike, you are free to explore an open world made up of friends, enemies, and families.
Just like the way you build houses, the relationships you form in the city are a result of your actions. There is no doubt that many people in the Sims community are keeping an eye out for the game by Paralives, which is not yet commercially available. It appears that the gaming community has a massive and unanimous interest in Paralives due to the inclusion of some special features in the base game. At this rate, this game could well prove to be the main competitor for the Sims.
Simulation mode
As you try to learn more about the Paralives game, you will discover the fun of the open world, which means that the loading of the screens no longer hampers your actions when you are free to explore the world. So when the people in this town come out of their homes, you can watch them horseback riding, walking or driving, and who knows what will get in your way, something you haven’t expected before.
While there are still no announcements regarding the simulation mode, we can expect from the AMA from August and an interview with the developer that the game will exude a spark of motivation and liveliness. It can also be used to determine how close the game is to the live simulation and how many simulated people in Paralives lead a parallel life.
Creation of complex characters
We’ve already had the opportunity to look at the complex gameplay of building in Paralives, but there’s also a lot of sophistication in the game when it comes to animation or character creation. While the developer’s main focus at the moment is on building the game, there is a lot more that the developer wants to offer when it comes to the characters of Paralives, and of course the shift in focus to the process of animation is justified.
New concept
As for the Patreon and Discord areas, Masse has put forward the unique notion of “random cards”. It seems like the idea behind this concept is to keep gamers deeply involved in the game. In fact, we’ve already seen this concept in The Sims 4.
Masse, the developer of the game, loves to be inspired by people and share their ideas about what kind of content they would most like to see in the final version of the game. The number of replies that have come in for over a month since Paralives launched its marketing campaign has resulted in a hundred-page document – and that’s gigantic!
What is the expectation?
As for the future of the game, Mass supports the idea of looking at the game itself and its free updates rather than spending money on DLC. We can also expect modding to be a part of the future of this game, even if things aren’t well worked out right now. The man behind the game is already giving free rein to the gamers’ ideas, so there will still be a lot to see after this game has started.
