It’s finally happening: we’re getting a third life sim on the block when the Paralives launch arrives later today.

Dreamcore is a collection of first-person explorable “liminal spaces”. All the most obvious examples are included: There’s an eerily nostalgic labyrinth of indoor pools, an endless expanse of low-poly suburbia, a maze of barren children’s play areas, and—least interestingly, in my opinion—a “liminal hotel” styled on a Backrooms meme.

2025 was the year of friendslop: bite-sized, inexpensive games that center co-op and proximity voice chat as vehicles for silliness, scares, and slapstick. One of the genre’s biggest smash hits, Peak, is a poster child for the slightly maligned, kind of derogatory label. But in an interview at GDC, Aggro Crab studio head Nick Kaman…
