Paralives Studio has been busy tempering expectations for its life sim in the run up to its early access launch on May 25—the game's been cooking for close to seven years now, but that certainly does not mean it's done. And after spending 10 hours with the game, I most definitely understand why the developer is trying to remind people what "early access" actually means.
That's because Paralives is not one of those games parading around in Steam's early access tag with what is essentially a fully functional experience. It's buggy, it's far from feature-complete, its UI is messy and oftentimes unintuitive. There's little feedback on why things go wrong—interactions regularly fail to go through with no reasonable explanation, and errors are vague.
