Two things are possible when a video game dips its feet into the life simulation genre.
Or a substantial flop by failing to capture the intricate moments that define virtual life.
The game’s teaser trailer was announced during the Paradox Announcement Show 2023.
One thing is pretty clear; you’ll be taking on a new life in the virtual world.
Moreover, former Sims developer Rod Humble is taking a leading role in this one.
This means we could see familiar elements in the upcoming title.
Without much further ado, here is everything we know aboutLife by You.
What is Life By You?
The game falls under the life simulation subgenre, which is not a first for the developer.
Paradox Interactive is known best for historically-themed video games that are heavy on strategy.
However, the developer has experience producing simulation games such asCities: SkylineandCrusader Kings.
As a real-life simulation game, players can traverse the open digital landscape.
In layperson’s terms, you get a new perspective on life in a digitally curated world.
Story
Life by Youis a non-linear simulation that gives the player full control of the game.
Developers describe the games as having an open world with no loading screens.
And oh yes mods!
Gameplay
The game is set to be an open world with multiple options for customization.
Paradox Tectonics gives ultimate control to players using the Creator Tools.
This means you might modify the game however you, like.
This opens up endless possibilities for players.
Moreover, traversing the open world is easy.
You only need to pick up and drop off your character at the desired destination.
Trailer
Paradox Interactive initially launched a teaser trailer that gave scant details on the game.
The developers released a second trailer after the game’s formal announcement event on March 20.
