I just finished the game and thought everything about it was amazing but the endings were just a bit disappointing, it never makes it exactly clear what caused the mass hysteria or who "she" is, it also doesn't make much sense as to why June was unaffected when she drank the resorts cocktails and drinks at the bar. However it makes sense to me when Ryan would try to drown himself as well, I think that he believed June was also infected when she was sitting in the water and he wasn't actually infected like the others, but he didn't want to leave the island alone? I don't know if any one else had this theory but I thought it was fun food for thought!
Dude.. I LOVED THIS GAME!!!! Tho the endings really left me hanging on a cliff.. who was this ''she''? Were they hipnotized by some entity? Would there be a way for June and Ryan to save themselves?.. alot of questions to ask..
I first thought that the effect that they (Vonnie, Carmen and McCoy) had were because of the drinks, but as seen June also drank them and seemed uneffected.
Both endings were really confusing, yet interesting. I do wonder what happened to June in the ending where she came back to the shore.. was she left to die in that island alone? Is that why this game is called rot in paradise?
Anyway... my final rating is that the game was really good but also left us on a cliff hanger,
Rot in Paradise is another banger of a game and man I LOVE THE CHARACTERS SO MUCH, especially my guy Ryan. The story is short but really well written, and the horror elements are... disturbing. Even the endings are so ambiguous that it left me really shaken up. Here's my full playthrough video with both the endings. Hope you enjoy ^-^
The game is very well done but the endings just arent it. Idk if Im missing something but the game sets up an interesting mystery but it goes nowhere?? The story is too open ended and vague to matter. the music and art are top notch but the story feels more dissapointing than anyhting else
i like the plot premise, the vibes, music, and the characters -- I really do. however, I'm just left a little disappointed about how little to no knowledge you get from the story building and the endings. it was so confusing, I had to replay twice to figure out if there was an actual second ending or not because I was left puzzled :((
spoilers ahead but: . . . . .
.
early on in the game, it's almost led the players to believe that there might be something wrong with the drinks. however down the line, it just seems like that idea might be flushed down the toilet because June drank some the drink + we never got to really see Ryan drinking any and even say it himself he rather just drink his own beer he got from home
because of this, why was it that June seems unaffected yet Ryan, like the others, was ready to just drowns like that? wasn't it established that Ryan doesn't bother drinking from the resort as it was "too expensive" and it's much cheaper to bring your own drink from home?? June herself doesn't even seem barely affected at all despite taking some drinks along with Vonnie which makes it more confusing with where the game is leading towards.
this is a game jam, but sometimes it would be nice if there was more clarification of the story as to who is "she", is it the drink that possibly creating a lot of weirdness, why June seems to be immune to it (or probably hysterical herself and drowned by herself), and if the resort themselves purposely giving tourists these drinks to drown themselves or something. there's too many questions that doesn't seem to have enough supporting factors to help build a proper open-ended answer to all of these plot points. the ending itself seems unsatisfactory too like sure there is this one part where June can try to pull Ryan up or still hold on, we understand that she probably have some abandoment/being alone issue but I wish there was more options leading up to that point and if it was even possible to understand why Ryan seems to be leaving her behind.
this was a fun game! i honestly really liked how the main horror was left open ended in favor of saying something with the effects of the horror! the scariest stuff is the stuff left ambiguous to me, so this was a great treat. nice job!!
i hope we get some sorta part 2 because im so confused T-T. at first i thought it was the drinks but June ALSO drank some?? great game as usual! but pls make a part 2 explaining more of the lore im begging rn
Nice and short, but also very disturbing! Though there isn't much gameplay, the mystery of the story is very captivating. Of course, the music and art are wonderful as always.
To be honest, for me this game is the strangest of all. the plot is vague. Why has everyone gone crazy??? Who is "She"??! is the ending weird and people have "that's it" thoughts?? I didn't get the right emotions, the game disappointed me. what I liked was the permonages, the music, the mechanics with the map and the fact that you can walk on the map. I also liked the friendly relationship of the characters with each other They're funny. But honestly, the game was disappointing. :(

Really liked it! Felt like a big ol metaphor that I'm too dumb to understand.
