    Paradise Killer is now the perfect murder mystery. With some visual and performance issues taken care of and the addition of new secrets to uncover as well as some gorgeous Ray Tracing, there’s never been a better time to breathe life back into paradise.

    Ambling around a cursed utopia and interrogating its eccentric characters while listening to jazzy, saxophone-obsessed electronica remains a fitting masquerade for a mercurial murder mystery. Almost two years after its first release, Paradise Killer’s commitment to its vaporwave aesthetic remains a model for creative fiction and an amusement park for industrious detectives.

    A beautiful abomination that almost breaks under the weight of its thick but ultimately compelling worldbuilding, Paradise Killer is a stupendous detective yarn that reimagines the genre in bright sun-kissed colours with a cast of truly bizarre characters all living in a world that feels like a microcosm of sci-fi storytelling for the last thirty years. Exceptionally constructed, boundlessly enjoyable and fiendishly stylish, Paradise Killer is your new favourite detective game.

    Say goodbye to dark, dreary mysteries. Paradise Killer is an incredibly stylish, open-world detective game that lets you feel like an otherworldly super-sleuth. [Issue#13, p.92]

    Paradise Killer will gradually win you over. Part of its smart design is letting you begin the endgame trial, where you'll make your final accusations, whenever you like, giving you complete control over the outcome. When you're satisfied you know what happened, you can start proceedings and present your case — there is no single correct answer. Combined with a great, low-tech aesthetic and an excellent soundtrack, and this is a game with both style and substance.

    Paradise Killer is a marvel of a game, it is a very pleasant experience for those players who enjoy exploring an original and beautiful worldParadise Killer is a marvel of a game, it is a very pleasant experience for those players who enjoy exploring an original and beautiful world which invites you to discover its secrets, and speaking of secrets, this great world is accompanied by an incredibly endearing plot with a great mystery that really requires attention to solve it along with multiple characters with excellent design and a personality that makes them memorable.
    It's not a game for everyone, but if you enjoy exploring interesting locations and solving mysteries then this is a game not to be missed, it manages to create an atmosphere by combining Japanese and Egyptian culture to create a map full of details worthy of admiration.
    The movement of the player is extremely comfortable, being able to get improvements that make exploring the map much more fun and agile.
    All in all, a not very long experience that you will remember if you are a fan of the mechanics presented in the game.    … Expand

    A very well designed game in the vein of Suda 51 and Danganronpa. The game provides an intriguing mystery to solve that will keep you guessingA very well designed game in the vein of Suda 51 and Danganronpa. The game provides an intriguing mystery to solve that will keep you guessing straight up to the end and even beyond that. The characters are likeable and the world is crazy and interesting. Exploration plays a big key to enjoying the over-all experience with interesting, if not ultimately useless, relics to find and a killer soundtrack to boot.

    Definitely worth checking out.    … Expand

    No sentido inovação, com certeza é muito diferente e ousado, mas não acho que pra um jogo ser bom basta sair fazendo tudo o que não é comum.No sentido inovação, com certeza é muito diferente e ousado, mas não acho que pra um jogo ser bom basta sair fazendo tudo o que não é comum.

    I don't understand how this game from the ''critics'' has such a good score, maybe their opinion doesn't count, the game is boring in manyI don't understand how this game from the ''critics'' has such a good score, maybe their opinion doesn't count, the game is boring in many areas, it often has several bug errors, and the graphics of the game honestly someone at extel can do the twice as good for what the game paints, I would say that the only good thing about the game would be the art of the characters, there are no 3d models just a PNG image with which to speak the game seems more like a backroom level than a game, too that the music of the game (non-existent) also the excessive amount of text makes the game too boring and without joke, I'm glad that this game became famous or anything.… Expand
