The gameplay of Finding Paradise is similar to that of the first game in the series, To the Moon, which was also built on the RPG Maker XP engine.

The machine makes errors in transcribing Colin's memories, resulting in various anomalies like lengthened hallways and trees that have been placed indoors.

While getting ready to traverse Colin's memories, the doctors realize that Watts had forgotten their paperwork at Sigmund HQ and request a colleague, Dr. Roxanne Winters, to scan the documents over.

While observing Colin's childhood memories, the doctors learn that he frequently communicated with Faye, a girl living across his apartment.

As an only child whose parents were rarely home due to working long hours, Colin was very lonely and had no luck making friends in school.

When the doctors witness this memory, they become convinced that Colin secretly regrets choosing Sofia over Faye, but his loyalty to his family prevents him from expressing his wish.

While evaluating how to deal with the situation, Watts suggests that the only way to respect Colin's conditions is to erase Faye from his memories.

Rosalene, still investigating Colin's memories, requests Watts to run a record search on Faye and aviation accidents.

Faye's true identity is that of an imaginary friend that a young Colin created by writing about her in a green book he kept with him his whole life.

When Faye overhears the doctors talking about erasing her, she exploits imperfections in Watts' modified machine to seize control.

She locks Watts out of the memories, so he has to fight her in the machine while Rosalene, having escaped Faye earlier, administers sedatives to Colin in the real world.

However, as a result of the efforts to weaken Faye, Colin's condition rapidly deteriorates, and the doctors no longer have the time to modify his memories without risking themselves.

Watts comes to the conclusion that Colin's misery was induced by FOMO after learning of Sigmund's tech, which in turn caused him to be unable to face Faye.

Watts then convinces Rosalene that they should give full control of the machine to Faye to create a fast solution for Colin's wish.

Back at HQ, Watts continues to work on his modified memory machine, with Winters and Lin now on board with his secret project.

[2][3] Finding Paradise has received generally positive reception, with a 81/100 Metacritic score based on 18 critic reviews.
