Independent Games Festival finalist
Paradise Killer is a murder mystery that asks players to do some real detective work, letting them accuse and interrogate anyone they think may be involved in the crime.
Gamasutra sent some questions to Oli Clarke Smith, creative director for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize-nominated game, who talked about the challenges of making a detective game where you can follow your own theories on the evidence no matter what they are, as well as the appeal of making the player really do some detective work if they want some answers.

There weren’t any strained smiles or forced compliments. They stood side by side, thanking each other as much as they talked about themselves.
I’ve never been in a financial position where I could buy lots of expensive wine but I splurge now and then. The thought that there is a great wine out there that I haven’t tasted is nagging an irritant, of course, that I will never be able to mitigate let alone ease.
But increasingly I wonder if tasting great wines is the real aesthetic apotheosis of wine appreciation.
Don’t get me wrong drinking great wines is enjoyable and worth doing occasionally. But what great wines seldom give you is surprise. We know how they are supposed to taste and, if stored well, they usually deliver. Magnifique!
