Paralives, the indie challenger to The Sims, arrives in early access

  • For years, The Sims has had the life-simulation game almost entirely to itself.
  • Now a small independent studio is mounting a serious challenge: Paralives, a build-a-life sandbox that has been in the works for years, has launched in early access — and sold hundreds of thousands of copies within hours, promising free expansions rather than the paid add-ons that define its famous rival.
