Platinum Trophy #36: Paradise Killer
I feel like I use the word "unique" far too much when covering games; the honest truth is many of them simply are not. However, one game that really was unique when it launched, and remains so today, is the brilliant Paradise Killer.
It comes from Kaizen Game Works, a studio that seems to be brimming with creative ideas.
Its debut effort, for example, is a murder mystery adventure in which you play a detective, exiled from Paradise, but brought back to the island to solve a mass killing.
There's a lot more to the story than that, though. The game's setting is a pocket realm inhabited by alien worshipers and demons, and the island is fated to be corrupted and resurrected in pursuit of true Paradise.
I remember the game front-loading a lot of its world building and thinking it was a little too much to take in, but honestly, once you're in the swing of things it all starts to make some sort of sense.
Characters have mad names; you play as Lady Love Dies, and you'll meet friends and foes such as Crimson Acid, Dr. Doom Jazz, One Last Kiss, and The Witness to the End.
It has an unusual art style to match, with great character portraits occupying an open world environment with saturated colours and bizarre architecture.
