Paradise Killer vs Red Crimes: Hidden Murders
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.
Red Crimes: Hidden Murders
Red Crimes: Hidden Murders is a crime investigation-themed hidden object game where you assume to role of police chief for the district of Rouxville. Unlike many other similarly-themed games though, this game focuses more on the analytical aspect of the CSI process, producing a host of more entertaining, immersive and sometimes, realistic mini-games for players to enjoy, in addition to the usual routine of scouring crime scenes for pieces of evidences.For instance, in an Autopsy mini-game, you actually get to use various tools to open up the victim's corpse to collect evidence that might have lodged in the body. Even without all the blood, it can still get kind of gruesome for the squemish and thankfully, players are given the option to skip such mini-games if they want to. There is a nice variety of mini-games as well, ranging from puzzle-based matching games to spinning a 3D object around to find tap-able spots.
The game has a simulation aspect as well, giving players to chance to assemble and expand their own police force, send out officers to patrol zones within the district, and even upgrade the police station to unlock new cases, zones and features. The zones offer various minor cases, missions and events that you can complete for extra rewards as well.
If you enjoy playing Criminal Case or CSI-like HO games, Red Crimes: Hidden Murders is one game you wouldn't want to miss. The game's as unique as it is fun - it is definitely worth the download and the time you'll spend on it solving cases.
