Paradise Falls

Paradise Falls is a psychological horror point-and-click game about uncovering the buried mystery of a flooded town. You explore Paradise Falls, solve puzzles and piece together the events that led to the town’s destruction through the experiences of multiple characters.

Dennis’s return

Dennis is haunted by intrusive thoughts, nightmares and visions, and struggles to control his violent urges. His torment began years ago, when a trip to Paradise Falls ended with his daughter’s disappearance. Now older, he returns after finding her drawings defaced with frantic messages demanding that he come back and save her. He seeks closure or penance, confronting the darkness in his own fractured mind.

Harming others raises Dennis’s anxiety and draws him into an alternate, fractured reality. Cleaning his knife can help restore the world to normal, linking the state of the weapon to his conscience.

The flooded town

As the waters rise, you also play as Rachel, whose journey reveals the rot beneath Paradise Falls. Through her, you uncover the final hours of a dying community and learn how one man’s desperate actions brought a curse that drowned the town. The story examines the salvation promised to its citizens and whether some secrets should have stayed buried.

You can also step into the lives of the monsters haunting the streets, seeing the tragedy from multiple characters’ perspectives. The flooded setting uses a muted palette, with shadows and rain-slicked corners shaping its claustrophobic atmosphere.

Point-and-click puzzles

The game uses a traditional verb-coin interface and a deep inventory system. You use them to interact with the world, solve puzzles and explore Paradise Falls.
