So what is this new game Paradise? Well, actually, it is Lost Paradise renamed. The developers – White Birds Productions – felt that Paradise more accurately described the game and it’s environments and I think they made a wise decision (unlike Atari, who changed Fahrenheit to Indigo Prophecy; what is bothersome is that according to my source, the name change was made because it was feared that us stupid Americans would confuse Fahrenheit with Fahrenheit 911).

Now imagine if you will four grown men in suits sprawled on a littered, threadbare carpet around a glowing laptop screen. Far from the deafening noise that is the E3, I met with Olivier Fontenay & Michel Bams of White Birds Productions and Francois Logeais of Micro Application for a private screening of Paradise conceptual art, a walkthrough of a few of the game’s environments and a short, playable game demo.
