My parafolk has a doppelgänger
I started playing Paralives in the first week of Early Access. After the character creation, the game crashed and I missed out on the train arrival cut scene.
My parafolk Shell was save though because I had saved her to the library before the game crashed. I loaded her household and started playing.
A few days into the game I saw her on the street but couldn't interact with my character. Turns out, it wasn't Shell, but instead a nameless clone from the first attempt to play the game.
For now I'm going to keep the doppelgänger as a reminder and because it's a bit fun to see a second Shell walking through the town.
I haven’t played. Do the other characters you make all roam your town? Is that how you have the dopple?
Yes, if you switch to play another household in the same save file, all previously added Parafolk will still roam the town.
You can switch back to them at any time or delete them in the cheats menu.
