  • Patch Notes 0.1.8 - 24 August 2026

    Paralives Patch Notes 0.1.8 After 0.1.7, which contained a good amount of improvements and bug fixes, we scale things back in order to prioritize optimization and long term development. As mentioned within the public roadmap, we are now moving on to our first big Paralives update!

Also, we will still be pushing out hotfixes as needed when we solve important issues. NewAlternative Camera: To give players more options, we have included an alternative camera mode that might be more familiar to some lifesim enthusiasts. Notably, this allows players to rotate the camera with middle click and scroll their view with right click. You can enable this new ‘‘Classic’’ camera in the options menu.More Columns in Paramaker and B…

  • Paralives' latest update throws out its wonderfully awful homunculi babies and makes it so that dead bodies should no longer litter the streets - 11 August 2026

    The beauty of an early access game is being able to look at something funky, say "that's not right," and as long as you're correct and not an irritating know-it-all making feedback that's not actually helpful, see it changed in (very slow) real-time.

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 9, 2026 to Oct 9, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $31.99
  • Highest observed: $31.99

Paralives's USD price history spans from Oct 9, 2026 to Oct 9, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $31.99, the highest is $31.99, and the first visible tracked price is $31.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 1
  • Discounted days: 1 day
  • Deepest markdown: -20%
  • Latest sale window: Oct 9, 2026 to Oct 9, 2026

SteamPulse has grouped rows carrying discount metadata into 1 recorded discount window, covering 1 calendar day and 1 discounted snapshot. The deepest recorded markdown is -20%, with a lowest recorded final price of $31.99 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Oct 9, 2026 and ends Oct 9, 2026, spanning 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking. Window boundaries follow the available snapshots, so gaps in coverage can make an actual sale shorter or longer than the recorded span.

Recorded sale names include Steam sale. The table reports the observed markdown, final price, snapshot dates, and any sale name supplied with the row. It can show whether similar discounts recur in the retained record, but it does not infer publisher intent, demand, or the reason a price changed.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $31.99, from Oct 9, 2026 through Oct 9, 2026. The latest run records $31.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $39.99. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $31.99
  • Current list price: $39.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Paralives at $31.99 in USD, with a listed base price of $39.99 and a -20% markdown. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
