a lovely - Vibe and Vaporwave Aesthetics game with mechanics mix of exploring and puzzle, murder mystery solving with visual novel like dialogs with cardboard like NPCs. I fell in love with this game when the intro song plays after you leave your house and do the superhero landing to solve the murders and other mysteries of the paradise #24 When Love Dies, only thing remains are the facts + OST, man it just hits you hard if you are a fan of city-pop/retro/vapor-wave, fantastic work by Epoch and vocals by Fiona Lynch + the whole art, environment & world building + interesting main character, Lady Love Dies + Even NPCs are fun and each have their own evil intentions, which makes all of the suspects + story and mystery of the island and its people + evidence collection and assignment (you can auto-assign via settings) + Shinji is the best + bear-chan - initial traversal can feel tiring but since the map size is not that big, explorers or people who find 100% collectables will be fine with it. TIP - unlock Lady Love Dies' 3 abilities as soon as you possible for faster movement and platforming [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBZmjaTVm_A&list=OLAK5uy_lFxt3e8KtCJ456kucloY6bo-_XCbFy6Ls] a link to all OST on YT

I rarely post reviews, but I thought I would make an exception for this game because I truly believe that it is something special. It has one of the most distinctive atmospheres I have ever seen in a game. The way the bright visuals blend with the incredible soundtrack and bizarre lore and characters gives a feeling all its own. I really enjoyed the story. It has a pleasing number of twists and it was very fun to piece together. I really like how the mythology and culture of the world intertwines with the mystery. The game doesn’t give you much in the way of exposition initially and expects you to piece things together about its world by way of dialogue and exploration. I personally find this very rewarding in a game. The gameplay is nothing particularly special. It’s basically a collectithon mixed with an ace attorney style investigation. The platforming controls are not the best and some puzzles are repetitive, but I honestly felt like these imperfections added to the charm. It really feels like a game a small team dumped their heart and soul into. I don’t think this game is for everyone, but I would strongly recommend it if you are the kind of person who really enjoys strong atmosphere or a good mystery and don’t mind some rough edges

Great game. I was initially disappointed when I found out that all characters are just 2D sprites without animation, but brilliant writing lifts up the experience. Even though the trials at the end of the game do not fully deliver the payoff, I really liked the fact that you cannot be 100% sure of who did it. I was really surprised to find out you need to solve ALL crimes, not just the murder of the council. The part that is disappointing is that you don't really have to deduce anything in the end, you just present your evidence and it's only a question of whether you found the evidence or not. I still enjoyed it, a lot. The only negative I can say is that the collectables are completely useless and unrewarding. The Blood bar drinks don't seem to give any subtext or contribute anything to the plot, as far as I can see, and the rest are literal trash. I just wish the plot went a little deeper. I can easily think of ways to fully reverse everything I learned during the investigation. I hope they make a sequel, one day.

I have mixed feelings, but after giving it some thought, I’ve decided to leave a positive review. In my opinion, based on my personal preferences in games, Paradise Killer’s most interesting features are: 1. The Vaporwave Aesthetic: it effortlessly delivers on its vaporwave vibes, with bright colors, ’80s tunes, and retro-inspired mechanics that create an unmistakable atmosphere from the start. 2. Worldbuilding: visually, the island is packed with detail; from the gods and inhabitants to the lore you uncover as you explore. It’s a stunning setting, and I hope we’ll see more of it in future games (sequels, perhaps?). 3. The Plot: Convoluted, yes, but captivating. Unraveling who was lying, who wasn’t, and why everyone seemed guilty yet didn't... It was gripping enough that I kept playing for hours on end, moving costantly to the same places to unconver the intrigue. Which brings us to the negatives… Personally, I’m not a fan of open worlds. And despite all its style, details and secrets, the physical world of Paradise Killer can feel... sparse in some places. ... And of course, these sparse areas are precisely where you’ll find yourself running again and again and again, from point A to point B, to reach who you are looking for. Not the best design choice, especially with side quests being almost nonexistent. Also, when you unlock a new line of dialogue from a character a question mark appears over their head, so you reach them to find out... that the dialogue is literally 'I don't know'... :,) That said, I really enjoyed it and would love to see our Lady Love Dies return! (All those names dropped in the gamehave to be more than just passing lore) Rating: 8-/10

A game I played years ago and still think about often. I'm surprised and disappointed that Paradise Killer is rarely in the conversation about the great games of the 2020's given how strong, unique, and satisfying it is. A fascinating murder mystery full of impactful visuals, wild lore and engaging characters. The gameplay lands somewhere between a whodunit point-and-click a-la Nancy Drew and the open-ended, curiosity driven loop of Outer Wilds. Your ending will depend almost entirely on how hard you searched and how well you understood your findings. The game will not put the pieces together for you or tell you when you're on the right track. The only thing I worry about with Paradise Killer is how the aesthetic will age. The "vaporwave" era is behind us, and as we move further from it, media that invested heavily in that imagery will start to look more and more "samey" to the culture at large. I would hate to see this game buried under a mountain of meme games just because they shared a love for hot pinks, but I worry it's a possibility.
