“Paradise is the kind of story you want to keep reading to get to the next drop of information that hints about the truth of the situation its protagonist finds himself in.”
“Such a captivating mystery story!”
“The story is intriguing and I love the characters.”
“Despite all my love for sadistic relationships (in games, not in reality, of course), some parts of the story felt unbearably cruel for me.”
“I know it can't be helped for the sake of the story, but I still feel annoyed when I can't choose the way I'd like to read.”
“Story: 4/10 (the main character is passive in both the Matsuda route and Mitsugi route, whereas in the Takara route, he suddenly becomes much more active. I guess even the writers were fed up with the whole process and just wanted to rush toward the end and say sayonara.)”

The music in the game has been widely criticized for being bland and contradictory, leading some players to mute it entirely, resulting in a low rating of 1/10 for both music and sound effects.
“Music & SFX: 1/10. I always play games with background music and sound effects on, but the music here is so bland and contradictory at times that I ended up muting it.”
