The leaders of the world’s most exclusive resort lie dead in a locked room, and a detective exiled from the community years ago is the only one who can solve the case. That’s not a particularly unexpected setup for a mystery story, except that everyone involved is immortal, the resort is an entire alternate plane of existence, and the slayings happened on the eve of a ritual that would see mortals sacrificed to further the victims’ ends. It’s been five years since the release of Kaizen Game Works’ Paradise Killer, and there’s still nothing else out there that comes close to its otherworldly style.
Released on September 4, 2020, Paradise Killer follows detective Lady Love Dies, armed with her trusty laptop, Starlight. The case she’s brought in to solve is straightforward in some ways. The victims have all been murdered with no attempt to cover it up, and the only possible suspects are the fellow residents of their island paradise. Other parts of the case are a little more complex, like the magically locked door outside, the demons haunting the island, and the fact that absolutely nothing anyone says can be trusted.
