From the creator of the award-winning series Syberia comes Benoît Sokal’s fascinating new work, Paradise. Sokal’s latest adventure-game masterpiece is set in four different worlds in the heart of darkest Africa. From the arid lands of Madargane to the dense jungle of the Maurania River, the world is both primitive and contemporary. Fraught with political turmoil, the lush landscapes are beautiful and dangerous.

Paradise places players in the role of Ann Smith, a young woman suffering from amnesia struggling to make her way home and avoid the conflict surrounding her. To discover her true identity, she must escort a strange black leopard back to the land where it was born. Follow Ann through her journey as she finds clues to her identity and unravels the truth behind her mysterious past.
