Paradise Killer

このゲームは推理ゲームではありません。捜査ゲームです。 謎の島であてもなくパルクールし、住人に片っ端からダル絡みし、最終的にはでっち上げでもなんでもいいので誰かを有罪にすればいいゲームです。あ、捜査は別にしなくてもいいです。 初めはブラッドなボーンのような世界観に驚くかもしれませんが、段々「あぁ～xx号島の時のハナシ？」とか、「その上位存在知ってる～」みたいに日常会話レベルができるようになります。そうなれば貴方も立派なパラダイス野郎です。 あと、このゲームの構成の9割くらいは聞き込み調査でもパルクールでもなく、音楽を聴いて散歩することです。 私はSwitch版クリアしましたが、サントラとアートワーク欲しさにsteamも買いました。 街中で聴けばそこはもう貴方だけの25号島です。

I was pretty disappointed by this game. I think the premise is interesting, but the actual storytelling is lacking. * The main playtime of the game is spent walking around the 3D space and picking up evidence without interacting with the characters. * Evidence you collect is neatly sorted into lists by character and case, so by the end it is extremely clear who is guilty. You don't actually do much deduction. * The characters in this game interact very little, pretty much the only interactions are the main character talking to everyone individually (even during the trial). * The trial is mostly the main character repeating the evidence list in dialogue format, without any added insight/emotion. The player has very few actual decisions during the trial. Overall I wouldn't recommend this game. If you're expecting an investigation game like Danganronpa or Ace Attorney, you'll probably be disappointed.

This game shines with beautiful artwork and an engaging premise. I started out talking to different people and really was interested in what case would unfold before me. Sadly, most of it is walking around in a sometimes overwhelming 3D world, which led to me getting lost a lot. I can only play for a short time due to motion sickness (the accessibility settings for sure helped with easing that, but if you tend to get motion sick rather easily, nothing will safe you from that in this game) and most of it was getting lost, having to stop, boot back up at later time, be lost, get more lost, be stuck. It probably is an endearing game, it's just not for me. If you tend to get motion sick and get lost even though there's a nice little tool to show you people you need to talk to and how far away they are, you're probably sitting in my boat and just won't be able to actually tackle the game.

This game is a surprisingly laidback yet enthralling approach to the detective genre. Some puzzles interspersed throughout the environment and mainly relies on a very unique exploration free roam mechanic I didn't expect going in, playing more as a first-person platformer at points while you run around, speak to suspects, and collect evidence. It feels similar to the walking/exploration segments of the Danganronpa games expect with total freedom and you're even encouraged via items and evidence to go places you feel might be considered 'out-of-bounds' in other games. This isn't the type of detective game where you need to piece everything together yourself, mainly the answers become evident as long as you're thorough in your exploration and questioning, you'll know when you've got everything there is to find. The main draw of this is the world, a truly bizarre setting that is so foreign to anything else I've played that I was truly overwhelmed, the world is a separate vaporwave style reality separate to the real world on Earth which has been devastated by alien gods which an immortal group known as the Syndicate worship, and in their pursuit of perfection treat normal humans like cattle and sacrifices in order to rebuild their realities (or "Paradises") from scratch to appease their genocidal gods. ... Yeah it's a lot to take in at first, I had to put the game down after the first half hour to let it all soak in, but something I love in games with such strange settings as this is that they don't actually deliver this through overwhelming exposition, as the protagonist you are a member of the Syndicate, and as such are treated as though you know all this, and information around the worldbuilding is imparted to the player via normal conversation and items found around the game world. Ultimately this game isn't the incredible head scratcher, it's more of a winding novel where you use the facts you find to shape your own truth, the characters aren't particularly deep but they are a ton of fun, and the story as you piece it together is truly fascinating. I thoroughly recommend this game and hope that we eventually get a follow-up to experience more of this unique world.

Paradise Killer pays homage to the classic detective genre while still creating its own kind of style in this game. By far one of the most unique investigation games I've ever played!

推理游戏，玩法就是跑图收集然后对话，找齐线索和证据后推导结论，没啥亮点，但是还算能让人玩下去。对了，故事开头从那里跳下去然后那个BGM响起真的很有味道
