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 when 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 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

July 2024

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.

April 2024

I was initially drawn to this game by its insane style and character designs. The mix of sprites, 3D models, and edited real-life images can look out of place at times, but it definitely grabs your attention and looks interesting. The same goes for its story and lore: it's a mix of really weird ideas and concepts that almost didn't work in some cases. Gameplay-wise, this game is similar to other murder-solving mystery games but with the addition of free open-world exploration. I enjoyed that element as I always prefer free exploration rather than menu-based ones in games like Ace Attorney. However, for some players, the somewhat empty world filled randomly with collectibles can be quite tedious. However, the best part of this game is its music. These bangers are what made this game click for me: exploration in an empty world became enjoyable, and the style and lore became coherent and really fun to follow. So if you're in search of some weird experiences and a great time, definitely give this game a try.

Jan. 2024

God, this game is fantastic. I wish it were more popular. The soundtrack goes SO HARD that I listen to it in my daily music consumption. I like that there isn't necessarily a "right" answer to the crime since you can play in so many different ways, but I definitely think there's a "best" answer and it was very satisfying to get to that point.
