Paradise Killer

[chopemon]

Hope this bit of self promotion is ok to post.

Last year a pal and I quit our jobs to found a new studio, Kaizen Game Works. We are making Paradise Killer, a first person open world murder mystery game.





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?

We're in the current issue of Edge and we've just announced our publishing partner, Fellow Traveller.

This looks really cool!

Congratulations on getting it off the ground.

Congratulations, chopemon!

Are you planning to release it on GOG? It has fewer releases so new games get to shine a little bit more.

Read the preview in Edge and it looks awesome.

PC only at the moment?

You know I'm very up for this; a lot of our tastes run very parallel to one another, and everything I've seen so far is looking great! Probably won't be able to play until a Mac version comes, or it's so mad successful you have the big three kicking your doors down for a console port, but it's on my wish list ready and waiting.

Thanks guys! PC only at the moment and we're working with our publisher to work out exactly which stores it will be on. However, we hope there are more platforms in our future if this goes well.

Bumping this, as there's now a highly imminent release date (September 4th) for it landing on both PC and Switch - I'm pre-loading as we speak!

Huge congrats to the team, looking forward to playing it!

Looks really cool - congratulations @chopemon!

EDIT: lol I just realised I posted the same thing a year ago. Anyway you get the general idea, it looks cool.

[chopemon]

Thanks! Can't believe we get to launch on Switch. I loved working with the console and I'm really happy with what we made.

[teddymeow]

That does look awesome!!

The official Kaizen Game Works has acknowledged this tweet now, so I feel the cat is out of the bag.

I'm up for another trip to Paradise!

Please be excited. We've got more stuff to announce that will make another trip to Paradise worthwhile!
