This is the first game in a while I decided not to finish out for the whole course of the game, especially considering this is a small game. I don't necessarily think it's a bad game, but I just don't think it is for me. I realized that every time I was like, "Damn, gotta get through Paradise Killer so I can move onto my next narrative game" I was genuinely dreading it and I just realized I don't have to endure the suffering simply because I'm a completionist. Especially when I only paid $2 for this game.

Overall, the aethestic is pretty sick. I like the bright colors, I like the environment, and I like the story, though I think it's a bit much and complicated with too much behind the scenes lore to really 1) feel invested and 2) not feel completely overwhelmed and bogged down by information overload.

I was not a fan of the fast travel system costing money and I think that's where part of the enjoyment started waning for me. It's just too costly and you don't find gems that easily after a certain point and hoofing it everywhere gets ANNOYING. The story is too complicated and there's too much stuff to handle for such a short game(I think it's around 11-13 hours long in total, I got through 7 hours of it).

The music in the game was really boppy and fun to listen to and I do think they did a really good job of curating the vibe. So overall, it's not a bad game, it's just bad for me.
