Paradox Interactive’s highly-anticipated Life Sim game, Life by You, will enter Early Access on June 4, 2024. Previously slated for March 5, 2024, the additional time has given the team time to put the finishing touches on the visuals for its human characters and to improve gameplay further. Players can add Life by You to their Steam and Epic Store wishlist.
Life by You is a life simulation game with the creative freedom to tell unlimited storytelling possibilities. Players can design and live out the lives of the humans they create in an open-game world where everything is customizable. Players create their households, build their homes, and tell life’s many stories. With natural language conversation and the ability to switch from third-person to direct control gameplay, players will connect with their characters on an emotional level. The game will come with deep Creator and Editor tools like Character Creator, Object Designer, Language Trees, and more, and all are available to players so they can MOD and adapt the game to fit their story.
“At the core of Life by You is the player community,” said Rod Humble, general manager of Paradox Tectonic. “We’ve created a sandbox where players can tell whatever story they want. From deeply personal, esoteric, or fan fiction, they can live life to the fullest - or break the rules as they see fit!”
In-game, players can:
Tell rich stories: This world is your sandbox. Create your humans, or play anyone within it—swap control at any time with any character you encounter. You can climb a career ladder, choose to be a misfit, fall in love as often as you change your clothes, or explore your sexuality. Tell stories that are important to you.
Explore and discover an open world: Drive, bike, scoot, or walk to get around the world. Along the way, collect seashells, wildflowers, and gems. Strike up real-language conversations with any human in-games.
Empower creativity with deep creative tools: Use extensive Creator and Editor Tools to change the gameplay anytime. Tailor build a world to play in or share your creations on the Paradox Mods.
Build and fully customize humans and environments: Design a dream home from scratch or renovate existing buildings. Customize your human with a fully featured character creator, including deep personality and character traits.
