Free for only 24 hours.

Paradise Island, a world outside reality. There’s been a murder only "investigation freak" Lady Love Dies can solve. Investigate and interrogate in this open world adventure. You can accuse anyone, but you’ll have to prove your case. It’s up to you to decide who's guilty.

An island outside of reality.

A rogue human civilization hoping to resurrect dead alien gods. A murder behind locked doors.

‎Paradise is an island that regenerates every few millennia.

The psychic power that the alien worshipers within release into the universe is meant to feed and eventually resurrect their fallen deities. But this force also attracts undesired interest from demons, who eventually corrupt each island — until a new alternate reality is birthed by the Council.

‎The system isn’t perfect, but it will be one day — on Perfect 25, the next island-to-be.

But on the eve of rebirth, the Council is murdered and Paradise is killed.

In the aftermath, the “investigation freak” Lady Love Dies is summoned from exile to find the culprit. This is the crime to end all crimes.

What are the facts? What are the truths? Are they the same?

This is absolutely my favorite game I played this year. It's more visual novel than detective really. You can start the court case any time you want and you'll not know if you've got it right. I've had so much fun exploring the world and 100% completing it. I dont even like detective or visual novel games usually.

    Oh, is it really more VN than detective? I'm starting my first playthrough and I was looking forward to the idea that I had to piece it together on my own. Is it like that or is it more that the game is gonna tell you the answer?

    It's more VN in the sense that if you explore the entire map and talked to everyone about everything, you'll always get the same information. There's no dialog trees that change the outcome.

    But then what you do next with the evidence is up to you. When you start the court case you can basically point fingers at anyone but you need to provide evidence. There are multiple ways to solve it and there isn't one single correct solution. I really liked the approach.

    Played this a few years ago. Highly recommend. It got updated with ray tracing awhile back too.

    Excellent callout. If you are open to unconventional but highly aesthetic settings and also maybe a fan of Suda 51, check it out.

    This game has a good story, but it has yet to hook me with its barbed psuedopod. Maybe the openness of the world or finding blood crystals is too much of a distraction for my short form video addled mind.

    There could be a discovery hump like in Hypnospace Outlaw. if players don't get pass it, they roll back the other way.
