Paradise Killer Review by Kenzie

Paradise Killer's world is easy to get sucked into - it's a bizarre anime occultist vaporwave landscape with city pop blasting over the speakers. The island itself was shockingly big and gave off a charm that came with a hint of dread (which I loved). It features a compelling mystery, and there is a genuine sense of complexity as you uncover so many clues, secrets, and tidbits about the 24th island. I didn't mind the exploring because it rewards the most curious of investigators, and the puzzles were good. One of my favorite things about this game is the writing (especially with Crimson Acid). However, in the latter half, the running around and the backtracking to the characters you need to speak with got tedious - fast travel could have been aided with a good minimap. The conclusion started off very exciting but became anticlimactic at the end. All in all, Paradise Killer is a wonderfully original whodunit that can last you a fun weekend. I hope the creators develop this world and these characters in the future!
