Paradise Falls

A dark, thrilling experience for horror fans and point and click aficionados alike. A love letter to some classics of the genres. Silent Hill predominantly with a Lynchian approach to storytelling. A lovely collection of nods to some prolific point and clicks games which I very much appreciated. Overall a fresh, yet familiar tale, with all the hallmarks that make both the horror and point and click genres enjoyable triumphs of entertainment that they are. An unforgettable experience and I look forward to more from L Goat.

Came across the devlog for this game on YT and decided to check it out. Very impressive for a solo indie effort - solid story, great atmosphere and nostalgic visuals. I really enjoyed my time with this game. It was very moving in places, with some excellent writing and a few little tongue-in-cheek moments that fit the point-and-click genre and stopped it straying into too-dark territory. The central mechanic of scenes appearing differently depending on heart rate was a great touch, and all the puzzles made sense and fitted the story. I also loved the eerie setting, which gives off very Twin Peaks/Silent Hill vibes, including letting the player draw their own conclusions. Overall a very good experience that kept me hooked.

Stylistically, this feels like a spiritual successor to the Chzo Mythos games. A dynamic, visceral, rough-around-the-edges horror treat.

For the love of Paradise Falls. I have played many point and click games over the years, and I felt this was intuitive so far and eerie enough to make me say 'Oh man!' out loud at least 5 times in the first half hour. The artwork is great, the detailing fantastic. The added intensity of anxiety is a massive plus for me, and I can honestly say I am intrigued by what is to come. Bravo.

I cut my teeth on the Sierra and LucasArts point and clicks of the 1990s, and Paradise Falls gave me a great hit of nostalgia. The pixel art is wonderfully done, capturing the vibe of those classic games perfectly. The puzzles were nicely balanced - hard enough to make you have to think a bit, but not so difficult that it felt frustrating or tedious. Most importantly, the famous "Sierra Sadism" did not make it into this game - there are no dead ends to be found in Paradise Falls! The plot was engaging. It is a psychological horror game which deals with some heavy topics, so it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but as someone who enjoys tense and creepy games I really enjoyed it. There are some fun Easter eggs and references to some other classic horror games - see if you can spot them all! My favorite part of the game was the anxiety mechanic - when the main character is under stress, the world around him is perceived differently, and switching between "calm" and "anxious" modes is weaved into the gameplay in a clever way. Bravo! All said, this is a fun and tense adventure game that is well worth the price of admission. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this indie developer - I can't wait to see what he comes up with next!

Welcome to Paradise Falls! Have already played the beta version so there's some changes in the final release, but all for the better! This is a psychological horror in the same spirit as Silent Hill or Resident Evil. We even get to shoot some zombies, but mostly we're struggling to stay sane. Our anxiety levels go up or down depending on our actions, represented by a bloody knife that we have to clean to calm down. The trick is that it's necessary to venture into the "bloody knife world" as things change around us, similar to Fran Bow. It's a bit rough around the edges and there's some unsettling imagery as well as heavy themes, but I found it to be a thought provoking game and worth taking your time to appreciate!

Paradise Fall is a bleak, atmospheric psychological horror that gets under your skin fast. As Dennis, you’re not just exploring a drowned ghost‑town — you’re navigating a mind that’s barely holding together. The intrusive thoughts, the visions, the ever‑present knife… it’s unsettling in all the right ways. The point‑and‑click gameplay is simple, but the storytelling is sharp. The town feels alive with guilt, memory, and dread, and Dennis’s past hangs over every scene. It’s less about monsters and more about the horrors we carry inside. It’s eggcellent.

Grab your umbrella, it's raining blood again. Have you ever wanted to know what it was like to manage a crappy job & be a single dad whilst simultaneously dealing with hallucinations and the desire to constantly cut off appendages from other people? then this is the game for you. A retro styled throwback to the old point and click days, except this time, it's not a family friendly frolic, you are constantly questioning the things you see as you take a trip into madness. At the start you don't want to obey the "voices", but your own demons are coming for you.

A horror game with shocking scenes that “forces” you to slip into the role of a tormented man who experiences some extreme situations. This is the first game from a promising developer, and let’s hope it won’t be the last.

I don't usually care about voice acting, but I think this game would probably benefit from having voices.
