How much does Paralives cost?

During early access, Paralives costs $39.99. After this phase ends, though, the price will be increased. It’ll be at least a couple of years before this happens, though. Many free updates will be added to the game over the early access period and beyond, and all future expansions will be completely free, as the devs have vowed there will never be paid DLCs.

Paralives will only be available for PC and Mac through Steam. As of the time of writing, there are no active plans for an eventual console release, according to the FAQ page on the official Paralives website. It’s also stated here that there will not be a phone or tablet version of the game.

Paralives features

Paralives is a sandbox life-sim game, which means all of the features it includes are designed to help you simulate daily life. At launch, this includes aspects like a Paramaker system that has loads of sliders and customization options, a build system you can use to build your dream home, a social system that can be used to forge friendships, romantic relationships, and other bonds, and much more.

While the early access version of this game already has quite a lot to do, there’s much more that will be added to it. Paralives has a roadmap packed with planned content for the early access phase, including pets, weather, pools, and more. Even after the roadmap content, the devs have mentioned adding free expansions, too, so there’s plenty to look forward to.
