About
An island outside of reality. A rogue human civilization hoping to resurrect dead alien gods. A murder behind locked doors.

Paradise is an island that regenerates every few millennia. The psychic power that the alien worshipers within release into the universe is meant to feed and eventually resurrect their fallen deities. But this force also attracts undesired interest from demons, who eventually corrupt each island — until a new alternate reality is birthed by the Council.
The system isn’t perfect, but it will be one day — on Perfect 25, the next island-to-be. But on the eve of rebirth, the Council is murdered and Paradise is killed.
In the aftermath, the “investigation freak” Lady Love Dies is summoned from exile to find the culprit. This is the crime to end all crimes.
What are the facts? What are the truths? Are they the same?

Return to Paradise Island in this updated and enhanced version of Paradise Killer, featuring new music and new mysterious beings, additional quests and rewards, extra Starlight skins, and more collectibles to find, plus performance improvements, a HUDless mode and Steam achievements. A free update for all players, available now.

Featuring DX12 support, ray tracing* (DX12 only), advanced upscaling (NVidia DLSS and AMD SR), and a host of other visual and performance updates, Paradise Island looks more stunning than ever!

You are tasked with finding the killer and building an airtight case against them. Take your case to trial and argue your interpretation of the evidence. Only when someone is successfully convicted can the crime be considered solved and Paradise be saved.

The “truth” is that there are many possible killers, and many ways to build a case. Even if you make a convincing case for prosecution and get someone convicted, is the mystery really solved?

Paradise is an island set in an alternate future history filled with cryptic lore and even more mysteries. Examine bizarre relics to learn more about this world’s surreal history.

You choose who to accuse, and build a case to support conviction. Everyone on Paradise has a secret to hide and something to gain. Old friends become new suspects, forcing you to choose between the evidence, the greater good and your own beliefs. There are many possible murderers, but who you pick will define your own personal truth.

Let your personal computer and electronic assistant Starlight be your guide through another dance of an investigation. Collect evidence, record testimony and interpret the facts to form your own truth.

Solve hieroglyph puzzles on ancient nightmare computers to discover new areas of the island, find concealed evidence and reveal terrifying secrets.
Paradise Killer has a suite of accessibility options that allow you to tailor the game to suit your needs.
*Raytracing requires a compatible NVidia RTX GPU, DirectX 12 and Windows 10 Build 1809. To play with Raytracing, please launch the game in DirectX 12 mode.

Paradise Killer is a pretty alright game. The lore is easy to understand, there is not much to say about it. Same with the cases and evidence. The whole game feels like a simplified Ace Attorney or Danganronpa, even the trials don't really require much work. The aesthetic are bearable to say the least. They feel cheap and it does seem like the devs just used some crappy textures and wanted the whole game to look like a vaporwave retro-like abomination. The music is absolutely bangers, I'll be honest. Though, it really depends on your taste. The gameplay is extremely simple, feels almost like a walking simulator and there are a lot of collectibles that require a bit of parkour but honestly who has the time for those. The characters are pretty likeable but your dialogue choices really don't matter, no matter what you do you will "increase" your relationship with everyone if you want to hang out. I recommend doing it if you want to unlock additional evidence. Try it out if you found Ace Attorney too complicated and want a more simplified game that lets you chill out and explore.
Originally played for free on Xbox, NEEDED to experience again without gamepass.
This is a nonlinear visual novel with elements of open-world exploration. In all of those aspects the game is near perfect: - The characters are unique and interesting, both visually and story-wise - The overall mystery is engaging - the game gives you just enough info to make you interested and wonder without spoiling too much - The world is not that massive but every location feels entirely unique - The OST is a banger - The visuals are immaculate It's one of the best "story games" that I've ever played, if not THE best.
I am still hunting for a game that replicates the feeling I got from completing this story/solving the mystery. 10/10
Beautiful music that I listen to still, great art and atmosphere with interesting lore that slowly unfolds. Good mystery to uncover. Maybe just look up where to grab all the foot baths at the start and make sure to talk to all the NPCs whenever you can.
J'aurais aimé aimer. C'est chose faite concernant l'Ost et l'esthétique générale de la chose. Mais vraiment le reste est foutrement déconcertant et Dieu sait que j'aime me prendre la tête sur des jeux d'énigmes et d'enquête. Je me suis trainé le fiac pendant trois longues heures sans que la sauce ne prenne. Je sais pas c'était peut être pas le bon moment. j'arrive peut être plus à jouir. Il est bizarre le jeu.
An outstandingly goofy sci-fi murder mystery for the ages, Paradise killer has enjoyable characters and a mystery that you really want to sink your teeth into, piecing together the evidence and bringing your theories to trial feels rewarding and enjoyable.
