Gameplay

The game, like many classic point-and-click adventure games, is viewed from a third-person perspective and is mouse-driven, with the player clicking on locations for the main character to move to and objects to examine or pick up, among other actions.

Plot

The central protagonist of Paradise is a young woman called Ann Smith, the daughter of King Rodon, the dictator of the fictional African country of Maurania. Ann is in Europe when she hears that her father is seriously ill, but while she is en route to see him, her aircraft is shot down by rebels. She is rescued, but when she regains consciousness she cannot remember her identity or what she is doing in Africa.

Nintendo DS and iOS versions

On June 18, 2008 Focus Home Interactive announced that with White Birds they would be remaking the game Paradise for the Nintendo DS in Europe on November 14, 2008,[1] as well as renaming the title Last King of Africa.[2]

Also, an iOS version of that game was released for the United States as Episode I: Madargani on July 6, 2010,[3] followed by Episode II: Deep Maurania on August 3, 2011.[4]

The game received "mixed" reviews on all platforms according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[15][16][17]

gollark: Unfortunately, I can't block *that* due to metatable limitations.
gollark: See, this is done entirely with plain metatables!
gollark: Also `debug`, although it's optional for most features.
gollark: I can't practically port everything to OC, it leans a ton on CC/CraftOS libraries.
gollark: When I say "most", I mean "about 10% at most", but you know.
