Finding Paradise is an adventure game developed and published by Freebird Games. Serving as a sequel to To the Moon and A Bird Story, the story continues with doctors Eva Rosalene and Neil Watts as they help to fulfill a wish for Colin Reeds, who is now a bedridden old man. As with To the Moon, it features relatively few gameplay mechanics which center around puzzles, with the player controlling both doctors as they solve them in order to reconstruct the dying man's memories in order to fulfill his dying wish. The game was fully designed, written, and composed for by Canadian independent game designer Kan Gao using the RPG Maker XP game engine. Development of the game began in 2015, and it was released for Linux, macOS, and Windows on December 14, 2017. It was released for Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022. A sequel to the series, Impostor Factory, was released in 2021.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Wow! What an experience. Short and gripping. An incredible soundtrack that moves the heart and an ending that left me in tears, having flashbacks of life with a growing lump in my throat. If you played to the moon you will enjoy this one too. Free bird games are doing the Lord's work. Even if you're impatient, please, be patient for at least an hour which is all the 'slow burn' this game needs to start grabbing you with its characters and plot. This is a must have game, with a deep philosophical motif that simply focuses on what you would do if you could go back in your life, as well as touching on themes of companionship, that's all I'll say. 10/10 incredible experience.
This was a real tear jerker. It has the whimsical, grossly self-aware and even satirical sense of humour throughout and just when you think you're getting towards the end, it has this classic 'To the Moon' twist that ties every little clue together and leaves you sobbing like a primary school kid who just said goodbye to a friend upon changing schools ... games like Finding Paradise deserve a place in everyone's digital libraries for the sublime messaging it carries - this game has more personality, far more, than triple AAA Ultra 4K+ whatever games out there today.
What an amazing game. Another rollercoaster ride that I will think of for a long time. If you find this game congratulation, you've really found a gem. 10/10
