Finding Paradise is a visual novel and walking simulator that continues the story of the two beloved characters, Dr. Neil Watts and Dr. Eva Rosalene. This time around, in a new setting, they try to help a dying patient and fulfill their wishes, similar to the previous game. I believe the game manages to hit the points of the plot very well and delivers a compelling and touching story just as good as the first game.

I really enjoyed the story. I think it was just as fun as the first game.

🏞 Visuals & Presentation:

Not many improvements were made on the visual aspects of the game. I do find it having more moments where animation shines and is improved, but other than that, it's very similar in style to the first game.

🔊 Sound & Voice-Acting:

This time around, I find the music a lot more impactful, especially at the end. It was a fine touch with the introduction of the song. Really touching.

No voice acting, although I wish there was.

📖 Story & Writing:

Great story overall. Right from the get-go, you start off looking after a dying patient who has a wish to make a change in his memory and asks for the help of the company called Sigmund Corporation, where Dr. Neil Watts and Dr. Eva Rosalene work.

🧵 Length & Difficulty:

Slightly longer than "To The Moon," but not by a long stretch. Difficulty-wise, it is just as easy as the previous games. Easy completion, to say the least, where you get 100% just by beating the story.

⭕️Verdict:
Finding Paradise delivers a compelling narrative that resonates well with fans of the series. While not introducing significant visual improvements, the game maintains its familiar style and charm. The enhanced music adds depth to emotional moments, although the absence of voice acting may leave some longing for more immersive dialogue delivery. Despite these minor drawbacks, the game offers a fulfilling experience with its engaging story, easy gameplay mechanics, and touching character interactions. Overall, Finding Paradise stands as a worthy successor to its predecessor, providing players with another memorable journey through the heartfelt storytelling of Dr. Neil Watts and Dr. Eva Rosalene.
