Paralives players are getting jumpscared by a naked chap called Charlie glitching into their games and now I too have been Charlie'd

Paralives - a naked Para stands in front of the ocean looking appalled.

No matter how much fun I'm having with Paralives, I'm not going to stand here and act like it isn't buggy as all getout in Live Mode. There are glitched menus, failing interactions, and wacky texture glitches, which are all the sorts of things life sim players pretty much knew to expect from an early access game. What we didn't know was that we'd be hounded by some naked lad sneaking into our save files. Their name is Charlie, and like some ghost of life sims future they've now visited my save game too.

I first saw Charlie in a Reddit post on Paralives' launch day, which I promptly sent to my fellow PCG life simmer Mollie Taylor to have a little chuckle over. Today, naively believing I couldn't also become a Charlie target, I was messing around with Paralives cheats working on our guide to trying for a baby in Paralives. After adopting a baby, I quit to the main menu without saving so as not to keep the messy testing I was doing in my save file.
