An open world investigation masterpiece!
A game that combines Dangaronpa style trials with open world investigations. It also allows you to 'fail' by if you are not thorough with the investigation. The story is original Eldrith horror with a vapourwave style and the music is Perfect! If you like VN like dangaronpao or Ace attorney style games this one is a fresh air in the vn space.

So I have never seen an open world detective exploration game before. Then this came along and I have really enjoyed my time with it. The simplest explantation of what this game actually is is Ace Attorney x Outer Wilds but its really its own thing. You explore the island gathering evidence and when you feel you are ready you can start the trial. The game really gives you the freedom to approach the mystery however you want; it doesn't push you down any particular theories or paths so the conclusions you come to are really your own (but are they the truth?). The vaporwave aesthetic is great and the lore is thought out well. Highly recommend to anyone who likes dectective or exploration games. I hope the devs make a sequel because I want more.

A weird but fun game
I had a lot of fun playing this game. The story is very weird; demons, gods, blood rituals, slaves, and so on. But if you can overlook the weird stuff, it is an interesting dective story game. I pretty much did all things in this game and I clocked my first playthrough at 17 hours. The music is excelent!

One Of A Kind. Recommended.
"Paradise Killer" is a walking simulator broken up by bits of visual novel... or vice versa. Doesn't sound like much of a game. ... you ever see a bridge? Like, an AMAZING bridge? One that makes you say "Wow, really?" and question the cognitive boundaries we put between Engineering and Art? Or have a meal *so darn good* that you get aroused? Or see a sunset that is literally wordless poetry? Paradise Killer has a deep and interwoven d-r-i-v-e pulsing through it, from the soundtrack to the visuals to the background collectathons to the eliptical esoteric eternity-seeking questing of the character's "organization", that all coalesces into a mind capturing drumbeat which owns the space between your ears when you play. It is an experience, I suspect a one-of-a-kind sort, that demands player engagement. Does that make it a good game? To be a game, there needs to be interesting and impactful choices to be made. Are there? Well... there's one. But it's a big one! You can wrap up your investigation essentially any time after the first ten minutes and start pronouncing judgement concerning the one crime you are tasked with investigating. And at any given moment, the temptation to do so lurks, overshadowed by the urge to better understand the situation first. Brilliant design! You're done when you want to be! By the end you'll understand the weirdness, the plot(s) at play, and why the person(s) who are Guilty are far from the only ones Not Innocent. It's up to you to decide how complicit someone needs to be to be worthy of punishment, or if reasonable motives override terrible actions, or if the fate of a society should trump the "justice" for/of an individual. Should a terrible person be punished even if they didn't commit the crime you're looking into? Lots of very specific "How About THIS Person?" choices to make. Wonderful. (I broke my Hard No on DLCs for this game, the B Side soundtrack is so good. And those are the tracks that didn't make the cut!)

I really loved it.
It has great artstyle and a cool soundtrack, the characters are cool indeed. I liked the gameplay as well. I played it from start to finish on Linux, and it worked out of the box without problems.
