Explore an upcoming life simulation game where you build and manage a theme park filled with adorable creatures called Pals, train them, create attractions, and keep them happy
Palworld is an upcoming life simulation video game developed by Pocket Pair and published by Thunderful. In the game, players build and manage a theme park filled with cute, friendly creatures called Pals. The gameplay revolves around capturing wild Pals, training them, and putting them to work in your park.
As the park owner, your goal is to keep your Pals happy while making money. You can build various park attractions like rides, restaurants, hotels, and shows for your Pals to work at. Different Pals have different strengths - some may be better at farming, others at construction or performance. You need to match Pals to the right jobs to maximize efficiency.
However, the gameplay has controversial elements as well. Players can choose to exploit the Pals and use violent or unethical means to make quick money. For example, you can send Pals to hunt rare animals to sell parts on the black market. Or use them for weapons testing and medical research. The game has a morality system that impacts the ending you receive.
In summary, Palworld blends elements of management sims like Zoo Tycoon or Theme Park with deeper, darker choices regarding how you treat the Pals. It remains to be seen how the gameplay balances or justifies these dichotomous tones. The game is set for release in 2023 on Nintendo Switch and PC.
