What Paradox Error is
Paradox Error is a platform game developed by Nerd Games and released in 2021. It was published by Eastasiasoft. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Paradox Error is a surreal take on the scrolling platformer format, combining minimalistic black-and-white presentation with self-aware, fourth wall breaking design. Glitches are intentionally integrated, allowing the player to cheat death, open new areas by triggering bugs or leap off of UI elements as if they’re part of the stage. The title screen’s main menu acts as a respawn hub, cursors may appear as enemies or helpful guides, graphical errors obscure parts of the screen and the player’s character explodes into pixels upon death. To survive, you’ll have to quickly identify which portions of the screen can be reached, which pixels can be touched and which ones are simply background art…
How it plays
It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are action. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
What it launched against
Paradox Error launched on 8 June 2021, within three weeks of Biomutant, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. It arrived 1 year into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Biomutant, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.
