Paradise Marsh is an open-world collecting and exploring game where the emphasis is on relaxation and contemplation rather than performance. You wander an endless wetland and collect creatures, skim stones and more as you find a way to put the stars back in the night sky. Its unique visual style and intentional pace and tone set it apart from similar games.

In a world where all the stars have fallen from the sky onto an expansive marsh, you traverse the ancient land and try to figure out a way to put them back. As you do, you use your net to find new species of animals, from frogs to insects, and add their details to your logbook notes. Along the way, you discover that these animals hold the key to putting the stars back, and are in fact star constellations themselves.

You interact with a host of varied creatures as you restore them to the night sky and gradually bring light back to the darkness of night. The game features a procedurally generated landscape, meaning you have an infinite amount of landscape to explore and immerse yourself in, where you can skim stones, read poems, pick flowers, or even just sit on a log and contemplate the beauty of the natural world.

With a tranquil story that mirrors the stark natural beauty of the surroundings, it offers a chance to progress at your own pace through the game while giving you time to think and unwind, all in a novel way and setting.
