'Paradise Killer' Comes To PS4/PS5 This Month, Xbox One And Xbox Series X|S Later - Trailer

by Rainier on March 4, 2022 @ 11:53 a.m. PST

Paradise Killer is a stylish combination of 2D and 3D visuals, an open-world full of colorful -- and deceitful -- characters, and a murder mystery just waiting to be solved.

A dark secret lurks beneath the surface of this shining island paradise -- murder most foul -- and Lady Love Dies is on the hunt for the culprit.

Paradise Island, a world outside reality. There's been a murder that only "investigation freak" Lady Love Dies can solve. Gather evidence and interrogate suspects in an open world adventure. You can accuse anyone, but you'll have to prove your case in trial to convict. 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 worshippers 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?

indie publisher Fellow Traveller and developer Kaizen Game Works revealed the breakout indie hit Paradise Killer will be arriving on Xbox (coming soon) and PlayStation consoles on March 16, 2022.

The Xbox Series X|S and PS5 versions will see the detective adventure expanded and improved with a suite of current-gen console feature support including 4K60, ray tracing, super-fast loading, Xbox Smart Delivery, haptics and a ‘day/night’ lightbar cycle for the PS5’s DualSense Wireless controller, and much more.

Key Features:

  • Breathe life back into Paradise - You are tasked with finding the killer and building an airtight case against them. Take your case to trial and argue your interpretation of the evidence. Only when someone is successfully convicted can the crime be considered solved and Paradise be saved.
  • What are the facts? What are the truths? Are they the same? - The “truth” is that there are many possible killers, and many ways to build a case. Even if you make a convincing case for prosecution and get someone convicted, is the mystery really solved?

  • Find YOUR Paradise - You choose who to accuse, and build a case to support a conviction. Everyone on Paradise has a secret to hide and something to gain. Old friends become new suspects, forcing you to choose between the evidence, the greater good and your own beliefs. There are many possible murderers, but who you pick will define your own personal truth.
  • Gather evidence - Let your personal computer and electronic assistant Starlight be your guide through another dance of an investigation. Collect evidence, record testimony and interpret the facts to form your own truth.
  • Unlock hidden areas - Solve hieroglyph puzzles on ancient nightmare computers to discover new areas of the island, find concealed evidence and reveal terrifying secrets.

Currently available for Nintendo Switch (eShop) and PC (Steam), Paradise Killer is coming to PS4 and PS5 on March 16, 2022, followed by Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S soon.
