Just weird
This game is in the same vein of the previous Rusty Lake games (Hotel and Roots), and keeps the same "bunch of puzzles" format, but in my opinion it is worse than Roots and only borderline better than Hotel. The basic formula didn't change much, but now we have a series of linear chapters (eschewing the branching chapters from Roots). And instead of self-contained "rooms" like in previous games, now in every chapter you have an "overworld" that you travel in to get to places. This could have been interesting if there was actual exploration involved, but in practice this is a major step back because travelling around is incredibly annoying, requiring multiple presses and panning the screen. Pieces required to solve puzzles are scattered everywhere and puzzles have non-obvious and nonsensical solutions and sometimes require you to travel between several screens to solve a puzzle. This sours the experience immensely. Imagine being frustrated that you can't solve a puzzle only to be hampered by the fact that you need 5 clicks and 2 screen pans to go to the other side of the puzzle. As for the puzzles themselves, there is nothing ground-breaking here but this game is even more bizarre and disgusting than the previous two. You have actual people on "Paradise" but they are useless NPCs that blurt out one-liners, act goofy and seemingly are ok with being mutilated (but somehow survive until the end). The plot makes no sense. So, the game had some potential but it was wasted. This game is sometimes good, but often boring and annoying. Roots was better.
