Paradise Lost begins with you being stranded on the beach with 7 strangers.
Graphics (★★★★★)
✔️ Beautiful Japanese-anime-ish art style
✔️ Stunning character and background designs with vibrant colours
Story (★★★☆☆)
✔️ LGBT-friendly
✔️ Hidden chapters to be unlocked
❌ Storyline doesn’t have a good flow (it’s all over the place)
❌ Awkward phrasing and mistakes in translations
❌ Dialogues are not fully-voiced
Gameplay (★★☆☆☆)
✔️ A mashup of game elements (Visual novel and otome game mechanics)
✔️ Close reminder to Lucydream games
✔️ You have to spend loads of diamonds to select premium choices
✔️ Your choices in dialogues will affect your relationships with the strangers
✔️ Your choices will also impact the story and lead to different routes
❌ Emphasises on monetisation by limiting the number of free diamonds
❌ Seems like there’s a paywall
❌ Tickets are not regeneration item
❌ Ads, ads, and more ads!
❌ Unbalanced resources to get through the game
❌ All endings are difficult to unlock
❌ Glitchy at times
Audio (★☆☆☆☆)
✔️ Decent soundscape that fits the game
❌ No voice overs
❌ Nothing spectacular
Verdict (★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆)
As a fan of visual novels and otome games, I’d have to say that Paradise Lost didn’t hit the nail at all. Despite the stunning visuals, nothing else seems to be able to retain my attention (especially the terrible translations). It was quite a turn off really.
Unless you’re into reverse harems and otome games, I’d recommend you to go for something more exciting.

A heartbreaking game
Finding Paradise, what an interesting game... But frankly not really my cup of tea. I'll start by saying that if this game didn't have a really good story, I don't even think I would've done a review for it because it doesn't have much going for it. But I have to be fair and not criticize it too much on that because this game was clearly not made to be an action game or even a puzzle. In other words this game is pretty much a pixel art movie.

I really wanted to like this, I have been so excited for this, but after playing I was very much disappointed and let down. Despite having a very beautiful, and I mean gorgeous art, there was nothing else to keep me to this game. I enjoy turn based games, but this felt even less than that. The story for me, wasn't appealing, didn't care for it. People were telling play the first couple hours, it'll get better, and I did, and for me it didn't get better. I was dreading every conversation, story, and combat I was in. Though, despite me not enjoying this, I do see why it's appealing to people, and why people enjoy it, but it just wasn't for me.

Honestly, such a good entry to the series. I've heard many people say that it wasn't as good as the original, but honestly I like the fact that it's nota copy paste of the original. This game took risks and it paid off in my opinion. From the sound design, to the levels of the hotel, down to the little details that you may miss the first few playthroughs. Top to bottom, this game is beautiful and fun. I could go on and on about anything in this game and I could be super passionate about it. If you haven't played this masterpiece yet, go play it right now. It's fun, it's relatively easy, and it's definitely worth your time.
