The Samaritan Paradox is set in Sweden in the 80’s. Ord Salomon has agreed to help Sara Bergwall find the book her father, Jonatan Bergwall, wrote before he died. During the course of this treasure hunt, he learns that Jonatan was investigating the weapons industry, and more specifically some covert affairs with foreign dictatorships.
But more questions arise. What is the book about, and why does Sara want Ord to find it for her? Did her Alzheimer’s-stricken mother know the secret before she grew too demented to share it? And how did Jonatan actually die?

I have read some of the comments and wanted to add a positive review because I loved this game. I have played a lot of point n click games, so maybe it helped. I have not found the puzzles as difficult as described by some players. I had to take a look to the walkthrough only once, for the puzzle on the bunker (and only because I lacked the basic knowledge to solve the 4th riddle).
I found the atmosphere of this game surprisingly good and I thoroughly enjoyed discovering every levels of this story (related to the journalist, to the private investigator, to the Bergwall family or even to the fantasy world around Freja that works quite well), I found main characters interesting and was definitely eager to know more.
Regarding the darker aspects of the story, there are subtle hints (I do not want to spoil, but be careful to some dialogues and think about the seemingly randomly behavior of Patrik) that point into this direction. I understand this may be disturbing, but I think the ending makes sense and I am perfectly happy with it. It seems to me quite positive, yes sh*t happens but the characters still live on. Which leads me to another understanding of the title: no good without evil.
