Paradise Killer

The Good
It's a detective game set on a vaporwave-themed tropical island inhabited by weirdo immortals that dress like Batman villains. The worldbuilding is pretty nonsensical but the mechanics of gathering evidence and testimony, crosschecking them and then bringing them to the trial is pretty good.

The Bad
Whoever did the level design for this game should be pilloried. It's a damn war crime. There's no logic or flow to the layout, meaning that even after completing the game I still have no real sense of how everything is put together.

Compounding this crime is the in-game map, which only shows you the general of location of things but not necessarily how they're connected or how you get from place to place.

And the icing on this particular cake is that, while there is a fast travel system, it's a paid system, limiting how much you can use it as the in-game currency is finite.

I spent more playtime lost than I did actually investigating.

The Bottom Line
I had to take Dramamine to finish the game because wandering through this Boschian-Escheresque nightmare made me severely nauseated. But the plot was good enough I really, really wanted to finish it.

I'd love to see a remastered version of the game that improves the in-game map and removes the fee to fast travel (you can keep the cost to unlock the fast travel points, however).
