The things i really liked about Paralives is the freedom of customization, the paramaker was something i really adored although it was personally a bit overwhelming for me, i still liked it. i managed to make a very stylish character with a modern like clothing style that fits my taste.

Character customization is quite fun and detailed , and I feel you can really make some interesting looking parafolk (that's apparently what they're called) with it, even though it lacks a lot of options when it comes to clothing, hairstyles, and such.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay has an interesting story telling mechanic, but it's not the same as rimworld as you have options that you can choose instead of things happening randomly.
