Paralives is Canadian!
If you’re into life sim games, Paralives is worth knowing about. It was made by Alex Massé, a French Canadian developer from Montréal, and his studio (Paralives Studio) is based in Québec.
The whole thing has been funded through Patreon since day one, no publishers, no corporate money. It just launched on Steam Early Access on May 25th after years of development, and there are no paid DLCs planned. I love that commitment to the fans!
It’s kind of like The Sims but with a much more flexible building system and an open world. Cleared a million Steam wishlists before it even came out. Solid one to support if you’re looking to put money toward something Canadian-made.

It’s still in early access but this is going to be a fun one to watch for sure!
