    The war persisted for 20 more years only to end in flames when the Nazis launched nuclear missiles on most of Europe. In the aftermath, the heart of Europe remains shrouded in the mystery of complete destruction and deadly radiation, inaccessible to the rest of the world.

    You play as Szymon, a 12-year-old boy who's just discovered a massive Nazi bunker while wandering the barren, nuclear wasteland of Poland after his mother's death. He's searching for an unknown man from a photograph his mother cherished. Who is he? Will you be able to find him?

    Descend into the retro futuristic bunker where advanced, industrial technology is intertwined with mysterious, Slavic pagan imagery and explore the underground city hidden within. Uncover the story of the bunker, from its takeover by Polish rebels to the ultimate fate of its inhabitants.

    Despite the desolation of the bunker, a mysterious girl named Ewa contacts Szymon through the bunker's technology. If he can only find her, she might know the man in the picture. If he can find her, he finally won't be alone

    Neither the story nor the setting are so compelling that they can overcome your character inching along from room to room in what’s essentially a straight line. There’s nothing inherently wrong with pushing you in a clear linear direction; one of my all-time favourite games is What Remains of Edith Finch?, and that’s nothing but linear exploration. But add in the glacial pace, and it makes it a lot easier to stop caring about the story as you’re faced with long stretches of simply walking from point A to point B. There’s a lot of potential for Paradise Lost to have been a great game, but unfortunately, it mostly goes unrealized.
