Upcoming life sim Paralives is set to give their characters a l🌠ittle more autonomy than The Sims, meaning they have t🐻he ability to go to the bathroom by themselves.

As reported by (via the ), the characters in the upcoming simulation game "will be able to decide to perform some interactions on the🅷ir own." You can see this in action in the video bel♈ow which shows two characters in an apartment reacting to hunger differently. 

One of the characters is trapped in a room after the evil player took the doors away, and the other is luckily placed in the kitܫchen. Without being commanded by the player, the second character takes it upon themselves to head to the fridge once they get hungry, satisfying that need without the player having to lift a finger. 

Unfortunately for the other character, they aren't able to get their hands on any food and eventually give up and die - yes, that does mean you can basically recreate the swimming pool ladder trick from The Sims and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:kill off characters in Paralives.

Paralives characters will be able to automatically go to work, use the toilet, and find an activity to occupy their time. What's most interesting about this feature is that what the characters choose to do depends on them individually. For example, "Parafolks could automatically clean the house o𓃲r highly skilled musicians could decide to play music in their spare time," the Patreon update reveals. 

If you prefer having your characters do exactly what you want them to, there will apparently also be an option in the upcoming game's menu that allows you to switch the auꦇtonomy off and have full control.

Paralives is still in the midst of development right now, so we won't be getting our hands on it just yet. There are plenty of ways to keep tabs on the project though, including wishlisting it on , heading over to its where you'll find a detailed roadmap, and following🐭 its developer on .

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got 𝕴even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
