Paralives, what secrets are you revealing
I'm sat for the Planet Zoo 2 news
I will waiting and come here for Fields of Mistria and Paralives
46 year old guy here and I just stumbled upon this channel and livestream, this is awesome! Love the games and love the message. I’m a sucker for anything cute and cozy. Keep up the good work. Subbed!
IS THAT THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THE UNPACKING GAME IN PARALIVES WITH HER WIFE AND BABY.... 😭😭😭
I'm literally tearing up watching this. Ive been gaming for over 10 years and I've played all sorts of games. Cozy games are by far my favorite. I'm also a woman and I have been harassed and bullied in the gaming community because of it. I know that's not a rare experience for women/girls in gaming. It means so much to me that cozy and "girly" games are finally being taken seriously and being given a seat at the table.

here for Paralives!
I think that was the best Wholesome Direct so far.
Such an honor to be a part of this!! Thank you so much!!!
Paralives is amazing.. I am so excited to see what they have to share. Truly you will never be able to return to building without the features they have in the game. It’s hard to describe the LEVEL of customization possible. Every day players are finding new features that we didn’t even realize existed. Very impressed with the love and care put into it. The gameplay is being built up now, but it is structurally beautiful the way experiences and personalities impact the gameplay. I am 100 hours into playing this game and it has been great.
That Waterful game where bring life back to the desert looks so peaceful and cute!
Excited for the fields of mistria announcement!
