This was a long drawn out experience that infuriated and perplexed. Why was it bad? The overreach of trying to be multiple games in one. If it were just a detective story in a visual novel format, it would be amazing. Instead you get a annoying collect-athon over a huge amount of space. The space is very beautiful. Drop dead gorgeous landscape, that I hope I can see in VR. Yet, still with the lack of a cohesive history and over abundance of nonsense about the Gods, Immortals and Citizens that most of it was just boring! If it was just a collect-athon, where there were more NPCs, without the who-dun-it? It would be an amusing waste of time, like an idle game in a cool world. It suffered from ovewr bearing lack of fast travel options and movement upgrades you had to buy…honestly as if getting around the island wasn’t annoying enough,smh. Anyhoo, would I recommend this? Sure, on GAMEPASS, do not buy this for more than 10$! It’s worth checking out, the Devs made something that should...

Crimson acid and shinji my beloved

An aesthetically and vibe-pleasing muder mystery detective game. The eccentric art style and unique vocabulary of this game adds to the already amazing world building this game provides. Hope there will be a sequel. (I'm pretty sure there will be ;) ) If you like danganronpa, you'll love this game.

The game is weird, all the staircases are giving me a migraine, the island feels way too big. I still have no idea what is happening but I am invested.

Not only is paradise killer a beautiful game visually, it has really great world building and lore coupled with incredibly fleshed out characters that you grow to love (or hate). You can complete as much or as little as you like (so if you get tired of exploration quickly, there's no actual requirement for you to spend hours finding every clue, though I'd recommend it) before choosing to finish the game. You can also replay the game a hundred times over with different endings based on your choices, so you definitely get your money's worth! If you like visual novels, open world games, puzzles or story-based games this is absolutely not one to miss.

Wonderful game. One of the few games to actually make me feel like a detective. Some of the character designs put me off the first time I tried it, but five years later I loved Promise Mascot Agency and upon realizing that this was by the same devs, decided to give it another chance. I'm really glad I did.

It's essentially a combination of a visual novel and a collectathon, in a super unique and interesting world (we're basically members of a fanatic evil cult that are certain they're the good guys) and interesting characters (most of them are our pool of suspects). The platforming and physics are kinda poopoo but since you can't die and free to explore the whole island until the very end of the game, these are very minor issues. Very fun game. It's highly recommended, as a chiller experience that offers an interesting story and some surprising moral choices.

A good hybrid of a solid walking sim and text-heavy detective story with interesting world building and a great vaporwave vibe thanks to excellent art design and an atmospheric electronic soundtrack. Style over substance? Quite possibly. But if you're open to exploring a vibrant, colorful, quirky world with well-written, diverse characters, you'll get your money's worth here. If you want to experience more vaporwave, I also recommend the game “Broken Reality.”

Loved everything about this game. Felt satisfying uncovering clues and getting justice!
