LIVORA Update: Playable Group Chats & More

LIVORA · published · build 24273214

A More Connected Life

We’ve released another substantial LIVORA update, built around one goal: making every life feel more connected, reactive and believable.

The biggest addition is Playable Group Chats, but this update also includes further improvements to scenarios, interfaces, saving and the systems working behind each decision.

Playable Group Chats

Group conversations are no longer just background messages. The people in your life can now talk, make plans, disagree, offer support and respond to what happens around them.

You can:

  • Reply to conversations with authored choices

  • React to messages

  • Agree to or decline plans

  • Suggest alternatives

  • Create and vote in polls

  • Mute or unmute conversations

  • Leave eligible groups

There are 12 different group types and dozens of authored conversations, covering everything from social plans and family decisions to practical problems and moments of support.

What happens in a group chat can carry into the wider game. Plans may become Calendar commitments, unanswered decisions can become Unfinished Business, and your responses can influence relationships, future events and life memories.

Group-chat activity can also appear in your weekly and monthly reports, helping your social life feel like a meaningful part of the story rather than a separate menu.

Clearer Choices and More Believable Consequences

We’ve continued reviewing LIVORA’s scenario writing and underlying effects so that choices are easier to understand and their consequences better match what the option promised.

This includes:

  • Clearer decision prompts and choice descriptions

  • More distinct and natural responses

  • Improved immediate outcomes

  • Stronger delayed consequences and life memories

  • Better alignment between the wording of a choice and what it changes

  • Further work across careers, caregiving, health, mental load, routines, prevention and support networks

The aim is not to make every choice obvious or easy. It is to make sure players understand the decision they are making while still facing realistic trade-offs.

Interface and Reliability Improvements

The update also includes:

  • A new desktop group-chat interface

  • Improved integration with the in-game phone

  • Further refinements to the City Map and Day Planner

  • Reliable saving of conversations, decisions and poll votes

  • Improved cloud-save support for the new social systems

  • Safer handling of quick clicks, repeated actions and reloads

  • Continued compatibility with existing saves

  • Additional wording, interface and quality checks throughout the game

We’re Continuing to Improve LIVORA

This update is another major step forward, but it is not the finish line.

We will continue improving and expanding LIVORA with new features, deeper systems, additional content, fixes, performance work and quality-of-life changes. Player feedback will continue to help shape what comes next.

Thank you to everyone playing, sharing feedback and supporting LIVORA.
