April 2025
I'm changing this review into a negative one because I can't possibly recommend the game where your screenshots are just deleted for no reason and you get the ban on the whole platform. No steam rules were broken! I was careful to upload any 18+ ss privately. One banned screenshot was just a bloody face on the red bg O_O I begged the devs' support to let me delete the ss myself to remove the ban but they just ignored me. There was a way to follow some new steam rules the devs claimed they supposedly received O_O and let me enjoy other games on the platform but what for, let your players suffer, do you think you're in paradise, welp, look how mistaken you are!(`□′)╯┴┴ Paradise unexpectedly became quite an unforgettable, amazing experience! Just wow <3 What an awesome story! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3258307842 Praises: +The plot is mind-blowing! I was contemplating all the time what the heck was actually going on. Such a captivating mystery story! Some moments were truly gore, disturbing, sickening even but overall what an exciting adventure! The truth revealed felt a bit rushed, not enough time for me personally to let it sink all in, I'd like more details about his dad, for example, or their life together. The end happened surprisingly fast for me but I guess it's mostly because I didn't want to say goodbye to them just yet :) +All three love options are incredible! Lloved Mitsugi a lot, just an impeccable character, in my opinion. Matsuda's route felt too disturbing quite often, I wasn't mentally ready for some twists. But the final route was...O_O It was my first time when I actually had to stop occasionally and make some deep breaths to fight off nausea. Despite all my love to sadistic relationship (in games, not in reality, of course), some parts of the story felt unbearably cruel for me. I even had to ask at some point feeling especially sick why some players find all that appealing. One of the answers I got was that it can help to bear your real problems seeing some have it even tougher. That made me think that really while for some of the players it may be traumatizing, it may surprisingly become healing and inspiring for others. I keep finding human nature so fascinating! +Love was presented in an astonishing way! I scanned through some reviews, came across some understandable complaints about rape and similar stuff. I guess it IS important to read through warning list. Some routes were downright cruel but it was still obvious they loved and cared, in their own twisted, perverted way :)But people are different, they can express their feelings differently. In reality it's all so predictable, we all follow more or less same moral compass but such stories are like the doors to some new, fresh, insane realities, some embodiment of a paradise we all may envision differently. +MC is fun to play! Even in cases he was called dumb, he was still cute :) The way he acted in all those stressful situations was truly admirable. I enjoyed watching him a lot. Such a rare balance when he is not some inhuman hero able to overcome any obstacle but at the same time not a weak miserable doormat. +Writing, the development of the story is enjoyable. To watch how people just lose their sanity, healthy mental state under some severe stressful conditions is surprisingly thrilling. And in different routes it's shown in so many different ways. +Art is gorgeous! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3265758475 +Voice acting is superb! Felt in love with Mitsugi's voice (。♥‿♥。) +Steam guide available. +Easy mode. When in front of choices images of the chars are shown. So I guess even without a guide with this option on you may pursue your fav char first. Complaints: --typos --had to download an adult patch from their site. While playing first I kept worrying I installed it correctly as there were no indicators it was there, like sometimes 18+ appears near the game at the top. --full screen mode is all blurry again --Many brutal bad endings T_T not a complaint necessarily but quite often I thought I wasn't mentally prepared for that. One happy ending in each route felt too unsatisfying after all the suffering. --One route has to be played last. That's already kinda spoilerish. Though it was still astonishing for me to find out the truth. I know it can't be helped for the sake of the story but I still feel annoyed when I can't choose the way I'd like to read. I usually leave the best for last. But here it was impossible. I couldn't leave Mitsugi for a dessert :) I feel like rereading his route some time later. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3286830199 So, it's a fascinating thriller & survival story with three hot extraordinary love options. A wonderful mixture of passion and pain, love and hatred. I want more of similar experience.

I'm currently more obsessed with the game than I should be. I've played it 100% through and can only really recommend it but It's not for the faint-hearted. The game deals with some very dark themes. To be honest, I also found some of them very distasteful and unpleasant. That's why I skipped through some of the text until the parts were finally over. There are only 3 "romance" options per se, so it would have been great if you didn't have to feel bad most of the time while reading. I already knew from the trailer and the informations that bad things would happen on the island. That's why I was especially tense during the first 2 rounds of the game, wondering when and what would happen. The story was exciting, but left me with unanswered questions. I wish they had taken more time with the final route. I hope the DLCs will be made available on Steam at some point.

Cool game, i recommend if ur up for some Dark content. I loved the characters, the story and the H-scenes as well. Make sure you get the patch before you play! Matsuda will be my husband even if he burned the world to the ground

I’m mostly playing the game from the version I got from the publisher’s site, in order to experience the entire game. But I was having so much fun with it that I wanted to support the game here as well. I’m a big fan of BL games, and this one has definitely caught my attention. I love the setting: paradise, a deserted island that quickly turns into a nightmare. The game had some comedic moments early on that had me laughing and getting attached to the characters. There’s an easy mode option that I happily switched on in order to safely navigate the routes without needing to pull up a guide. I started with Mitsugi’s route and had a great time learning more about this guy Azuma instantly disliked. Sometimes in BL visual novels I get attached to one love interest and don’t want to try other routes, but this game is different. It has a mystery behind it, and wanting to uncover the truth is what would motivate me to complete other routes.
