Classical adventure games may not be as dominant as they once were, but these games can still provide an enjoyable, relaxing experience by presenting interesting plot conflicts that can be resolved by solving puzzles and interacting with characters, rather than pulling out a rocket launcher and blasting everything. Some of the best adventure games in the past few years have been from the Syberia series, by designer Benoit Sokal, which tell the story of a very ordinary businesswoman swept up in extraordinary circumstances. The designer's next game, Paradise, will also tell the tale of a seemingly ordinary woman who ends up embarking on an epic adventure, but it will offer a deeper storyline and perhaps more-intuitive puzzles. We recently got our hands on an early version of the game and have much to report. NOTE: This preview may contain story spoilers.
