If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into a murder mystery drenched in neon light and cosmic weirdness, this might be your lucky week. The cult-favorite detective game Paradise Killer is currently free to download on PC via the Epic Games Store — but there’s a catch: the deal disappears at 5 PM (CET) on December 23.
Originally released in 2020, Paradise Killer is anything but ordinary. You play as Lady Love Dies, an investigator brought out of exile to solve a shocking murder on an island run by immortal beings. Picture a world that blends the surreal humor of Twin Peaks with the courtroom drama of Phoenix Wright — all filtered through a vaporwave lens of neon pinks, palm trees, and eerie synths.
This isn’t a game that holds your hand. You’re free to explore every corner of the island, dig up clues, interrogate suspects, and follow your own hunches — no preset order, no obvious path. Anyone could be guilty, and it’s up to you to decide who stands trial when the time comes.
You can claim the game right now by heading over to store.epicgames.com. Log in, hit “Get,” and it’s yours forever, even after the promotion ends.
So, will you lose yourself in Paradise Killer’s sun-soaked, surreal investigation — or wait to see what Epic’s next freebie will be? Either way, it’s hard to turn down a trip to paradise when it costs nothing at all.
