A sandbox life simulation game about building homes, lives and bonds, with a cast of Townies to meet and a vibrant open-world town to explore and make your own.

Key features

The indie answer to The Sims

Built by a small independent team and funded directly by its community, Paralives is the most credible independent challenger the life-sim genre has had in decades.

Your story to write

Focus on a career, find love, build a family, or become the richest person in town. The game is explicit that twists and forks are part of it.

Freeform building

The building tools are the headline feature, designed to remove the grid-and-preset limits that constrain most life sims.
