Let's Play Paradise Killer (Blind) - Episode 16 (Part 2) - [Demonic Document]

This is my Let's Play of Paradise Killer.
It's a first-person open world detective mystery with no hand-holding whatsoever, making it a unique genre-defying type of game. The closest I could describe it is if Phoenix Wright was completely off the rails both in the sense that there seems to be no railroading or "correct" order to play and in the sense that the developers must've gone completely off the rails in regard to the copious amount of drugs that surely fuelled the vaporwave art-design and bananas setting.
This Let's Play is 100% blind. The only things I know about Paradise Killer are it's colour palette, and that revolves around a crime on some eldritch island. All in all, I don't know what awaits us either and cannot guarantee optimal play. The game is 95% unvoiced, so I'll add to the psychic torment with my own voice-acting, as always. :-)
Synopsis:
Cthulhu has come home to roost... Quite literally, as this game revolves around a murder case taking place on a tropical island where strange alien beings and apparently immortal human facsimiles enjoy living the high life, courtesy of the elder god's favour.
Since the aforementioned bit of murder has disrupted their peaceful existence of blood rituals and martinis, a seasoned investigator has to be summoned to the scene!
Enter: "Lady Love Dies", our player character, who is reactivated from an inconsequential 3million day exile in order to clean house.
Together with her, we try to figure out "whodunnit" amidst a colourful cast of strange and unknowable beings, demonic invasions from space and a healthy dose of smooth jazz.
After all, who wouldn't want to take the elder gods to court!

I went back through the game to verify what Meditate does and does not reveal.
Reveals (until you collect it): Blood Crystals, Starlight Skins (including phones you haven't unlocked), Relics (includes vending machines you haven't purchased from), Shinji, Remnants (side quest items), Music Towers, Whisky, Certain Key Items (Dog Treats, Crests - all colors, Vending Machine that holds Starlight Upgrade, Crane System Unlock Card, Valve Handles, Lady Love Dies's Gun), and one piece of evidence: The Grate/Lydia's Lap Top (this is the exception). Curiously, the collectables in the tunnel can be revealed outside of, but not inside their tunnel.
Does NOT reveal: Bearchan, Footbaths, All other Evidence, Investigate Scenes, the Grappling Hook, Hatches, Electronic Switches, Tyre Tracks, Comm Tower, the Boat Gate, the Fridge, Drag Marks, and all other switches.
Alternate Reality reveals: Any Nightmare Computer you have interacted with but haven't unlocked, the Crime Scene, Suspects, all Ghosts (and the demon fish) you have interacted with.
Other tidbits:
It takes exactly 10 drink purchases for Dead Nebula to reboot the vending machine.
Hang Out is on a 1 minute cooldown that starts once you close the conversation.
There are 49 extra blood crystal assuming you buy everything and including the trip to and from the Paradise Gates you must make to collect everything.

That's a really comprehensive list. Thank you for that. In the episode I recorded today, I finally entered the trial, so I probably won't find the boat gate (despite rounding the beach multiple times) or the grappling hook

@@moonpressure Boat gate is just the device to move the boat into position, you definitely found that.

@@TherinCreative Thank you. I didn't think of that as a gate. More like a cargo bay with the crane being the main feature. But it did have a gate, now that you mention it.
