The Sims-like Paralives hits Early Access in December

Paralives, an indie life simulation game, is set to launch on Steam Early Access on December 8. The game allows players to build their characters, make friends, fall in love, and start a family. Players can also design their dream home using innovative build tools that are easy to use and powerful for advanced users. The game does not limit players to a grid-based design, instead, they can create on curves and customize objects' colors and textures. The game's development process is transparent, with a publicly available roadmap and history. The game's studio, Paralives Studio, has raised funds exclusively through Patreon and promises to never release paid DLC, only free expansions. The game's art style is simple and charming, focusing on feeling and connection over presentation. The game is the brainchild of Canadian developer Alex Massé, who started the project in 2019 and has since grown to a team of 13. Paralives Studio aims to create an innovative and fresh life simulation game. The game will be available on PC and Mac on Steam Early Access on December 8.
