Honey, I Joined a Cult vs Paradise Killer
Honey, I Joined a Cult
Honey, I Joined a Cult is a whimsical cult simulation/management game where you play as the cult leader supreme managing your very own “startup cult”. The goal here is to set up your own cult compound, recruit as many cultists to your divine cause as you can, all the while making sure you’re profiting off every follower you get and avoiding scrutiny from the authorities.To be honest though, Honey, I Joined a Cult isn’t exactly a game where you joined a cult but instead puts you into the shoes of the leader of one. The game is very similar to Prison Architect so if you’ve enjoyed the latter, you’ll definitely love playing this game. It’s funny and the management part of the gameplay is fun to play. So, if you’ve always envisioned yourself leading a cult, you might want to give this game a try! After all, what could go wrong?
Paradise Killer
Paradise Killer is an open-world murder-mystery game featuring visual novel-style storytelling, fun puzzles to enjoy, clues to track down, colorful characters to interrogate, and a gruesome mass murder of the council members of the Syndicate to solve. In this game, you play as the sole Investigator on Paradise Island, Lady Love Dies, and your own freedom hangs on the line as you hunt down every detail about the case.Paradise Killer is a blend of adventure and visual novel, featuring a storyline that’s just filled to the brim with mystery. As mentioned, the game starts off with a bang – the mass murder of Council Members as the Syndicate made ready to migrate from the current Paradise Island of #24 to what is dubbed as the Perfect 25.
Since the game is basically set in an entire dimension, Paradise Killer is very generous with every possible detail you might be curious about the game world as well as the many wacky and quirky characters that live in it. You can find out a lot of stuff – you are playing as a dutiful investigator, Lady Love Dies, after all! – by tracking down clues, finding hidden notes, and sometimes, simply by making friends and talking to them when their guard is down.
Being an adventure game that’s just filled with hidden stuff to find, the game also hides a whole lot of useful items in the most unsuspecting places, such as in cabinets that you can open or on apartment floors that aren’t as easily accessible. However, being as close to a god as you can be in Paradise Island, you can survive some impressive falls in this game so go hog wild and try to leap off buildings just to access some location with some hidden loot.
Without a doubt, Paradise Killer is in a class of its own! Yes, it is essentially an adventure game with visual novel elements and a strong investigative theme much like Ace Attorney (though you aren’t playing as a lawyer in this game), but it manages to bring all of these elements together and couple it with some truly impressive world-building to create a world that looks and feels mind-blowing to the player.
