About the Game

"Welcome to Paradise, where every drink tastes like Heaven."

A Week in Paradise is an introspective game that explores ideas between the lines of optimism, realism, and cynicism. You play through the eyes of an alcoholic, Damien. Stumbling into a bar called Paradise, you meet Charlene, a jazz singer who's falling into a rut of her own. 

The mysterious circumstances that connect your stories make you reflect on your regrets, ambitions, and relationships with each other as memories bubble to the surface. Hunt down additional clues in your dreams to untangle the mystery that ties you, this pub, and its sole patron, together.

Your choices heavily impact the conversations each day to unlock one of 5 endings.

Will you be able to move past your mistakes, or wallow in them?

Features:

  • Choice-driven narrative: you decide the outcome by shaping the protagonist’s perception.

  • Emotional themes: Trust, purpose, family? What’s important to you?

  • Ambient atmosphere: have a drink in the lounge at the quiet late night hours while you chat 'til morning.

  • 20k words, 1-3 hours of gameplay with replay-ability.

  • Cumulative Endings: Endings are not based on a single choice, but the totality of your experience. 

  • Story interaction: sorting through your memories takes effort.
