About Paradigm

✦ AI summary

Play as Paradigm, a mutant aspiring electronic musician in post-apocalyptic Eastern Europe, who must reluctantly save the world while battling his past in the form of a vomiting candy-dispensing sloth. This surreal point-and-click adventure channels classic LucasArts games with bizarrely charming 2D art, dark humor, and an unforgettable cast of mutants, psychopathic superheroes, and glam metal cult leaders.


Paradigm is a surreal adventure game set in the strange and post apocalyptic Eastern European country of Krusz.

Play as the handsome mutant, Paradigm, whose past comes back to haunt him in the form of a genetically engineered sloth that vomits candy.


Paradigm’s unfortunate life begins at DUPA genetics, a company who sells prodigy children to the rich and powerful who don’t want to leave their inheritance to their poor excuse for biological children.

Something went wrong during Paradigm’s growing process and he was left horribly mutated. To save their reputation, DUPA dumped the hideous infant in a nearby post Neo-Soviet abandoned town, forcing him to fend for himself.

Paradigm didn’t let this get him down and found solace in music. He dreams of becoming the best electronic music artist the world has ever seen! Unfortunately his past is set to catch up with him and he must reluctantly step up as the world’s saviour. When really he just wants to finish his latest EP.

On his journey, Paradigm meets an array of strange characters. Some include: a psychopathic superhero, an evil sloth, a secretary knight , and a glam metal cult leader pug.

\
  • Classic point \]and click adventure: Think Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Space quest, Full Throttle.
  • Surreal 2D Graphics: Pixar meets Fallout
  • Post apocalyptic: The year is 2026, dial-up is back in fashion.
  • 70/80’s influences: Paradigm's world is what people from that era imagined it to be; large super computers, space age furniture and floppy disks that can save the world.
  • Mature content and dark humour: Help the local drug addict and have a hot date with a toaster.
  • Ugliest protagonist in gaming (maybe): Look at him, Jesus.
  • Evil sloth antagonist: Who is a genetically engineered living candy machine.
  • Glam metal cult: May your pants be tight and your excess be excessive.

Recommended Aug 24, 2026
It's an okay point & click adventure game with a silly story and setting. It does manage to be funny at times, which is what it set out to do I guess. Serviceable, so a like, but some caveats: - the humour is a bit hit or miss. If it's not your thing, the rest of the game won't save it. - it's quite short. I'm usually not one to complain about games overstaying their welcome, but it can probably be done in 1 or 2 sittings especially if you're not really going at the flavour content (funny descriptions etc). - it's a bit too easy. I'm not looking for 2000 IQ puzzles, but a no point did I really have to think things through here. - the steam achievements are meh

A game about the sexiest man alive going to defeat a sloth who vomits candy accompanied by a soundtrack that contains the phattest beatsies you've ever heard of and the most random assortment of characters that will make you want to pull your eyes out of their sockets through your butt and light them on fire using a combination of bleach and ethanol. 10/10 story This game is exactly my type of humor. It's ridiculous, random, sarcastic, and surreal. My only complaint is that the game is too damn short. And now I will wait for a sequel to this game that will never be released and instead cry myself to sleep every night wishing for Paradigm 2: electric boogaloo to be real, only for it to finally come out when I'm on my death bed because of a freak accident involving socks and sandals. And yes, my child really is, just an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
