Paralives

Paralives is a sandbox life-simulation game from the independent Paralives Studio, led by Alex Massé and funded with support from its community through Patreon. Players design characters called Parafolks in a detailed creator, the Paramaker, and then guide them through careers, relationships and family life in an open-world town. The town has shops, parks, restaurants and museums to visit. Building is a major focus. Homes are built without a grid, so curved walls and split-level floors are possible, and furniture and decor can be freely resized, recoloured and stacked.

Paralives entered early access on Steam for PC and Mac on 25 May 2026 and remains in active development.
