It’s not your vault
It’s been quite some time since we last heard from PloyAmorous’ twisted history title Paradise Lost. This bleak-but-intriguing tale is set against the backdrop of an alternate World War II, one where the fighting between allies and The Third Reich raged for over 20 years, ultimately plunging society into a devastating nuclear apocalypse.
In Paradise Lost, players will control the destiny of Szymon, a child living in the irradiated wasteland that was once Poland. While scavenging for resources during a self-imposed quest to track down a mysterious guardian, Szymon stumbles across an abandoned Nazi bunker, filled with frightening technology and decked out in haunting Pagan iconography. What was its purpose? Why was it abandoned? And who is the mysterious “Ewa” who calls to him from deep within its labyrinthine walls?
Publisher All-In Games has announced that Paradise Lost will be launching on PS4, PC, and Xbox One as soon as March 24, when players will be able to walk the haunted halls of a subterranean vault, piecing together its memories and mysteries. It’s an interesting premise, if a particularly dark one. You can check out the first 12 minutes of gameplay in the video below – as narrated by director Bogdan Graczyk – to get a feel for Paradise Lost‘s unsettling tone.
