The Samaritan Paradox is set in Sweden in the 80's. Ord Salomon has agreed to help Sara Bergwall find the book her father, Jonatan Bergwall, wrote before he died. During the course of this treasure hunt, he learns that Jonatan was investigating the weapons industry, and more specifically some covert affairs with foreign dictatorships.
But more questions arise. What is the book about, and why does Sara want Ord to find it for her? Did her Alzheimer's-stricken mother know the secret before she grew too demented to share it? And how did Jonatan actually die?

The Samaritan Paradox
Quite good point+click game with very interesting and original story and brutal puzzles. Thankfully there is a video walkthrough on YT. At any case I enjoyed this one despite insane puzzles and I recommend for people who like mystery stories.
(Эмо стих) Плывёт корабль белый к нам. Он не покажет нам моря. А сны,Что видим мы. Далёкий город облаков. Где нет прибоя, нет основ. Гротескный камень обточив Возносит шпили он к богам. К кровавым, серым небесам. Где Ктулху спит,но видит сны. И жаждет души поглотить, На раз впитав в себя грехи, Людей, что живы, но мертвы.
fantastic game, but HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SAVING!!! it makes me angry, i lost 2 hours of progress
La historia está muy interesante hasta que llegas al final y de repente el autor te mete sus f3tiches en la historia sin avisar. El final realmente deja mal sabor de boca y te hace sentir que todas las horas que pasaste investigando y recopilando los capítulos del libro no sirvieron para nada. Hay una trama secundario de un periodista al que ayudas a investigar una red de tráfico de armas pero siento que el propio juego deja de lado esta subtrama y se olvida de ella. Puedes darle la información que descubres o no pero esto no cambia el final. El personaje del amigo con el que hablas por teléfono no aporta nada a la historia y no sé por qué está ahí. Pensé que te darían un logro si hablabas con él muchas veces pero ni eso. [spoiler]La niñera es la verdadera heroína del juego por tirar al padre p3d0filo por la borda. La delaté sin querer por hablar con cierto personaje en un punto determinado de la historia y luego me sentí mal por ello.[/spoiler]
I can't believe I forgot to review this game. I played through a ton of classic adventure games back then, and this one really stuck with me. Something about the particular quality of audio that is haunting, the music is nice, the environments bleak and real feeling. Yeah, the story gets quite daringly heavy, but I don't think that makes it bad
A ver... el juego en si es una aventura point and CLICK con una historia algo pobre pero que te entretiene lo suficiente como para llegar al final. La musica y los graficos estan bastante bien hechos, con ese estilo retro de los 80-90. Tiene buenos sonidos y ambientacion, Puzzles safables dentro de todo... pero la historia si bien no esta tan mal en cuanto a la trama, tiene una ejecucion pobrisima. Basicamente nos contrata una mujer para investigar donde esta la herencia del padre rico que pertenecia como a una secta religiosa que vende indulgencias a locos que quieren "vivir en el paraiso", nada raro, algo comun, pero es como que a partir de ahi, perdes el hilo y te vas yendo del Presente a una especie de realidad pasada que parece que lees en un cuento y no tiene mucho sentido a donde vas. Al final es como que "volves al libro" no se entiende nada. Tiene logros y CROMOS que dan algo mas de valor al titulo. Realmente merece un voto neutral o negativo, pero debido a que cuesta poco y dentro de todo esta bien hecho lo dejo en pulgar arriba, pero salvo que seas MUY FAN del genero, no creo que te guste 5/10
💋
Really great point-and-click adventure game!
My favorite game. Nostalgia.
