Description

This is a porn Portuguese game, based upon a character whose primary goal in life is to earn money, by the lowest means. The player incarnates the role of a marginal and criminal. He can become a drug dealer, a rapist, a burglar or an addicted for sex. The player has the ability to do many transgressions while taking decisions on the situations he'll face during the game.

The resting place of the player is located at a local nightclub called Paradise Café where he can make illegal deals with the waiter by buying drugs and pistols, necessary "tools" for the good management of his precious and indispensable money. The player is perpetually walking next to "Pandora" doors, randomly potential surprises of situations that appear in front of him of which he can take advantage or suffer the consequences of his bad decisions.

There are policemen, robbers, old women, prostitutes, and to loose or earn money in that trail of surprises is a mixture of combination of luck and management. The game also proportionates a humorous experiences by its unexpected situations.

The graphics occupy 3 quarters of the game, resembling Popeye or The Trap Door. The gameplay is easy and combines several genre elements as adventure, adult, management, strategy and even RPG.

Paradise Café emerged in a Portuguese society where drug dealing, prostitution and poverty were taboo and they were the scourges of an afflicted generation born in poor social conditions and sociological turmoil.

Until this day it's not known who the programmers are, but it is reasonably to assume, almost for certain that every Portuguese related to video gaming has a Paradise Café copy.
