Freedom-driven investigation with multiple endings
One of the most defining characteristic aspects of the game “Paradise Killer” is player choice. There isn't a single solution to the mystery. It's up to the player to accuse suspects based on the evidence that has been gathered, which can result in more than one murderer.
Exploration is also important to the game, and unusual architecture, mysterious lore, and secrets to hunt down cover the island. Fighting is actually present, though minimal. It is used as an exploration mechanic.
Features of the Enhanced Edition available on Epic Games Store
The version found on Epic Games Store comes with the Enhanced Edition which introduces many enhancement features including:
New music tracks, Side Quests, and Collectibles
Enhanced graphical capabilities with DX12 support
Optional ray tracing and DLSS/FSR enhancements
