Paralives is the first real competitor to the long running The Sims franchise and It is taking the risks that Maxis has avoided taking.
For the ones who don’t know Paralives is developed by Alex, the sole developer behind the game aims to capture the spirit and creative aspect of The Sims. I first found out about this game when the official Paralives Twitter account had less than 100 followers, now more than 160k followers later, the game has coke a long way.
Paralives features some amazing building tools that allow players to create their dream house with what seems to be unlimited creative freedom with simple drag and drop tools.
Paralives is currently still in development, and while there aren’t too many details known yet, Alex has already shared a few more bits on the game. Putting your creativity in actual creative work is extremely fun, but the right tools are needed to really capture your vision.
The easier the tools are to use, the more fun it is to create exciting projects in a game. Paralives seems to be delivering on that front with creative building tools that go as far as your creativity can reach.
Shaping your walls, doors or even windows exactly into the size you want them to be and being able to place them wherever you want is a big step towards achieving your dream house! Take a looksie at the amazing mechanics Paralives has to offer below.

A brand new remake of a mainline Story of Seasons game is upon us and features an adorable physical edition.
The next Game in the popular Story of Seasons franchise is called a Wonderful Life a remake of the immensely popular game Harvest Moon a Wonderful Life, and promises to go back to its roots with new enhancements to make a great game even better.
A Wonderful Life builds upon the strong foundation the previous game has already provided with a major new twist compared to most farming games.
Once you get married to your favorite villager, you can now raise children with your loved one. As The developers stated once you have lived your life to the fullest, spent years farming, fishing, exploring the dig sites and making friends with the town folks then “ your child will be old enough to choose a career for themselves… Will they inherit the farm? Or will they find their calling somewhere else? Only time will tell. “
It truly feels like a new spin on farming games as most games in the genre don’t put a big focus on families in this way, only The Sims comes to my mind. I am very excited to see if it will be exactly like the original or if the developers have some surprises for us as Marvelous is known to improve certain features in their remakes.
A Wonderful a life Physical Edition
The physical edition will be available in PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch – it even comes with the most adorable 3.5 x 4 inch little plushie.
