Africa.

It is a wonder that Belgian artist and game designer Benoît Sokal managed to wait for so long before directing his pencil toward this continent. Beauty and sadness, exploration and loss: those are themes that were already the backbone of his previous games, Amerzone and Syberia, and for which an African setting would seem so naturally suited. Paradise is Sokal's journey to Africa, and could be expected to be his masterpiece, the culmination of the themes he started exploring with his previous games. It unfortunately misses that mark, but not without some considerable achievements.
