About this game
Paralives is a single player sandbox life simulation game for PC and Mac where you build homes, create Parafolks and direct their lives in a vibrant open world town. Using powerful grid free construction tools with curved walls, split levels, multiple floors and resizable objects, you can recreate real houses or design elaborate mansions, freely placing and recoloring furniture and decor. The Paramaker lets you shape Parafolks with height, body and face sliders, detailed outfits and complex personalities. In live mode, your Parafolks explore shops, parks, restaurants and museums, pursue flexible careers, manage needs, skills, wants and emotions, form friendships, romances or rivalries, start families, age and die. You can control groups of Parafolks at once, use an in game modding interface to add or edit content, and share or download creations such as mods, houses and Parafolks through Steam Workshop, with more free content planned during Early Access.
