A brand new trailer for Paradise Killer dropped in the present day, which suggests it’s lastly an opportunity to verify in on Kaizen Game Works’ open-world homicide thriller. Pretty normal, homicide thriller visible novel stuff then, proper? Chat to the suspects, discover the scene for clues, crack the case earlier than celestial entities hard-reset the universe into its 25th iteration, an ideal reflection of Paradise as an idea, borne of the corpses of alien gods.
Y’know. The regular.
Best I can inform from this newest trailer, Paradise Killer is Tom Parkinson Morgan webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons filtered via the chirpy 90s crime-solving vibes of Murder By Numbers. Alright, then.
Paradise Killer is, on the face of it, a fairly normal thriller. As yer man Taggart used to say, there’s been a homicide, and also you’re the out-of-town detective right here to work out whodunnit. Just a day on the job for any Columbo or Marple, proper?
Only, effectively, the city is Paradise, an island unmoored from house and time that cosmically resets each millennium – stricken by demons and inhabited by a “rogue human civilisation” that unleash psychic energy into the universe to resurrect lifeless alien gods. The homicide victims? The Council that was to delivery a brand new, excellent actuality. The detective is “investigation freak” Lady Love Dies, summoned from exile to enact judgement.
By exploring the “alternate future history” world of Paradise and speaking to its unusual inhabitants, you’ll have to piece collectively a case to convict. That, particularly, appears a curious puzzle to unravel. In Paradise, details aren’t the identical as truths. It seems like there could not even be one “true” killer – put collectively a compelling sufficient case, and the convicted assassin could possibly be whoever fits your fancy.
It sounds absurd and interesting, an odd factor Katherine described as “Danganronpa meets Sherlock Holmes, with all the flair and style of a Suda51 game” in our EGX 2019 round-up. Paradise Killer’s celestial murders are set to launch on Steam this Summer.
