Paralives Cheats: Early Access Cheat Console Commands

Updated: 2026-05-29 Game Version: EA 0.1 Cheat console

This Paralives cheats reference is a community-derived Early Access command list, rewritten for clarity and organized so you can quickly find economy, time, character, need, build, and debug commands.

Early Access warning: Cheats are developer-debug tools, not a stable player-facing API. Per a Paradev statement referenced on the paralives.wiki Cheats page, many of the roughly 300 commands may be removed, hidden, or reworked. The authoritative current list is whatever the in-game console shows. Last reviewed against paralives.wiki on 2026-05-29.
