Paralives’ latest gameplay preview offers a look at its job system, which will let you simulate the crushing reality of working every day to pay the bills. Woohoo! In a delightful flight of fancy, though, your Para can gradually earn application points that let you apply to more prestigious jobs, earning more money and advancing your career. If only real life was so easy!

Interacting with other characters will unsurprisingly be a major part of the game, with the preview showcasing Paralives’ group interactions. The player can click-select a group of Paras to form a group interaction, allowing them to both talk and do other activities, such as getting down for an impromptu group push-up session.

Paralives - Gameplay Overview
Advancing your relationship far enough will unlock new relationship labels, as well as contributing to your Para’s individual personality, which can level up and gain additional traits and effects on top of their starting social perk, vibe and talent. (You can also customise their sleeping and cleaning habits.) You could become Studious perhaps, speeding up how fast you learn new skills, or Hardworking, upping the chance of gaining extra upgrade points for your job. Like most of Paralives seen so far, it seems to be a familiar but intelligent evolution ofThe Sims, colouring within well-defined lines with some slightly fresher hues.
