If you’re a fan of The Sims and Sims-like experiences, it’s quite an exciting time; The Sims 5, or whatever it’ll be called, is slowly fermenting over at EA, then there’s the imminent release of Paradox’s Life By You following a number of delays, and even the charmingly lo-fi Tiny Life for old-school Sims fans. The game that’s generated perhaps the most excitement since its unveiling back in 2019, however, is Paralives, and after a long old wait – and five years of crowdfunding support – developer Paralives Studio has announced it’ll be entering early access next year.
That bit of information comes via Paralives new live mode gameplay video – live mode in Sims parlance is the bit where digital chracters actively go about their daily business, as opposed to the customisation-focused build mode – which focuses of the life of Anisa as she moves into a new apartment and begins to get to know the neighbourhood and her new neighbours.
There’s a look at how a Para’s personality can be created – initially by raising or lowering their physique, mind, creativity, and charisma attributes, as well as adding a “vibe”, social perk, talent, and through various lifestyle toggles – and after that it’s time to go outside.
