The game will launch in early access in 2025, scheduled for PC and Mac users. Paralives aims to give players an immersive experience similar to managing virtual lives in a dollhouse-like environment.

One notable aspect of Paralives is its approach to post-release content.

In addition to powerful building tools, Paralives features a simulation mode where players can guide their Parafolks through various life events, interact with other characters, start a family, build a career, and navigate the complexities of everyday life.
