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?

I have read some of the comments and wanted to add a positive review because I loved this game. I have played a lot of point n click games, so maybe it helped. I have not found the puzzles as difficult as described by some players. I had to take a look to the walkthrough only once, for the puzzle on the bunker (and only because I lacked the basic knowledge to solve the 4th riddle). I found the atmosphere of this game surprisingly good and I thoroughly enjoyed discovering every levels of this story (related to the journalist, to the private investigator, to the Bergwall family or even to the fantasy world around Freja that works quite well), I found main characters interesting and was definitely eager to know more. Regarding the darker aspects of the story, there are subtle hints (I do not want to spoil, but be careful to some dialogues and think about the seemingly randomly behavior of Patrik) that point into this direction. I understand this may be disturbing, but I think the ending makes sense and I am perfectly happy with it. It seems to me quite positive, yes sh*t happens but the characters still live on. Which leads me to another understanding of the title: no good without evil.
It's a very good classic-style point-and-click adventure game but the Scandi crime setting may be a little dry for most.
The Samaritan Paradox is a beautiful game, with a very lovely soundtrack and vibe. The story is engaging and the puzzle aspect of the game is very good in my opinion - while overall quite logical, there are some moments that require a bit more thought and quick thinking to get through, but it fits the narrative very well. The voice acting is good, and the pacing of the story is great as well - the ending is however somewhat abrupt in my opinion, and could have maybe be fleshed out more. Without spoiling the story, that could maybe have been intentional in regards with the theme - the ending is probably the most polarising thing in this game. I really liked it though. I highly enjoyed the artwork and the music as well, especially the Swedish/Nordic setting (I live in the North as well so it's awesome to see a realistic Scandinavian setting portrayed beautifully in a game). This is one of those cozy point and click games I can see myself revisiting once in a while because of the overall atmosphere.
Le jeu n'est pas mauvais mais il existe beaucoup d'autres point'n'click qui méritent d'être complétés avant ce titre.

Ich bin noch nicht am Ende des Spieles angelangt, aber ich kann es empfehlen, vor allen Dingen macht man bei dem Preis im Sale nicht verkehrt. Das Spiel ist nicht perfekt aber es hat eine interessante Krimi Hauptstory, dazu eine Fantasy Story aus dem verschollenen Buch des Verstorbenen Autors und Journalisten um den sich die Handlung dreht. Die Steuerung ist auch in Ordnung. Die Grafik ist halt Pixelgrafik, sieht halt nicht so schön, so dass man Gegenstände auch schwieriger erkennt. Ist aber beim dem Spiel nicht so das Problem. Bei der Übersetzung ist auch nicht alles so perfekt, neben kleineren Übersetzungsfehler wie Du und Sie bei seinem Freund, gab es auch eine nicht genaue Übersetzung bei dem Sonnenuhren Rätsel, aufgrund deren ich nicht auf die Lösung kam. Ansonsten sind die die Rätsel bisher nachvollziehbar, auch wenn es teilweise länger gedauert hat, bis ich Sie gelöst habe. Bisher bin ich insgesamt zufrieden mit dem Spiel,
Each time I alt tab to my other screen, the game crash in an annoying continuous sound... I played 5mn...
After a couple minutes voice audio disappears and wherever you click, the dialogue continues, making it impossible to go to settings, inventory, etc. It goes on and on. No way to quit the game, I dont find any button for it, which means I have to close session on my computer (when I try to quit the game in task manager it does not work either). Is it only me?
