Just watched a playthrough of Rot in Paradise and holy shit. People have started coming to me for critiques on Australian characters (mainly overwatch), their writing and designs, and that is Australian rep done right!

Starting with the character designs, I have seen variations of all of those outfits on people here, not only that but the designs all communicate where the characters are actually from;

Carmen, McCoy and Vonnie are all from an urban area, likely a city. The characters never change clothes during the game so I'm going to assume these are their swimming clothes. All three of them are actively wearing swimwear covered by things you would typically wear to the beach if you aren't planning to immediately change clothes afterwards. Not only that but they are wearing a lot nicer clothes then June and Ryan, they are clothes specifically bought for swimming. Not only that but you can tell the they are from different cities or at least different parts of the same city, Carmen is more inland, her coat is think and the way it falls communicates that it's not really made from beach safe material, it's also very obvious that her swimmers are underneath her clothes and are not just her outfit. Meanwhile with McCoy and Vonnie they live more costal, they're outfits are made for the beach, McCoy's actively being just his swimmers. Vonnie is a little more complicated but though she is wearing clothes over her swimmers, they aren't the same as Carmen's. Vonnie is wearing loose fitting clothes specifically designed for the beach something that can easily be tied on and off again.

Meanwhile Ryan and June are dressed more rurally. Ryan can't swim and is implied to be afraid of the ocean, which communicates to me that he's from somewhere that is pretty land locked. That and his clothes are something I've seen worn by Aussie farmers (Aka my dad) wear on their days off, that and his tan lines indicate that he's in the sun a lot, possibly in an old button up considering where his tan lines are. Not only that but his drinking habits and taste in beer are very rural Australian coded. While June is dressed more as a person who grew up rural but has moved into a city later in life, she's wearing old looking shorts with a belt on them which signifies that they're not going to be taken off to get in the water, while her top is an actual swimming top and she's wearing a beach top over that, both look in good condition and fairly new. There's also June's dyed hair which is honestly common for people who grew up rurally to do once that move to a city. Also Ryan still living in a more rural area would also explain why his hair does seemed dyed but is a lot more faded and less maintained. In all honesty it wouldn't surprise me if June and Ryan grew together considering the similar dye jobs and the way June greets Ryan at the beginning of the game.

Also THANK YOU studio investigrave for not making all the characters white, it's such a common problem when people are writing Australians or Australia in general that they make everyone white. It feels so gross to me when I see that.

Next up in the language used and holy shit was the dialogue well written, "mate" was used in the correct context, "bloody hell" and "dickhead" where the most used slang and that is fully correct, Ryan bringing an esky (cooler, as everyone else says) full of beer on a vacation is such a relatable experience to me. In general I felt seen by the way that characters talked and acted, which is rare when looking at Australian characters.

Also the story involving the environment as the horror, and the environment explored being the water is so important to me. Australia is dangerous, but when that is explored in media it's usually just the outback. Meanwhile the bush and our oceans are usually never touched on, despite them being just as dangerous. Not only that but they used the theme of isolation without using the outback too, which again, is very rare for me to see.

Anyway this game was great and is going up there as one of my favorite games.

One thing I love about Rot In Paradise is the symbolism/allegory between toxic friendships(?)

Spoilers for the game

Now how when June was only asking some questions and especially the " she won't take him back " thing, and about Ryan especially why she was in the bathtub, Carmie got defensive and yelled at her. June being treated/thought of by McCoy as "naturally" Lazy, Forgetful and messy.

Vinnie dismissing her and being rude.

That part where she tried to save them, and one ending where she gets dragged down and presumably dies(?) or where she goes back to the shore, crying?

It's like a symbolism to me about trying to help those friends, and they don't want help. The more you try to help them, the more they drag you down with them ( symbolic like the one where June dives in to try and save Ryan )

With June saying she doesn't wanna be left behind, and Ryan replied asking if what Vonnie did to June ( being dismissive and rude ) was okay, and then saying they're ( the others ) cutting out and pushing June away seems a lot like a toxic friendship allegory imo.

This just a personal interpretation of the game. I'm still confused about the " she " they were talking about...was it the sea? Or was it something else--

DNI blank blogs.

Rot in paradise interpretation:

(spoilers ahead)

Symbolic:

All of June's friends seem to have a toxic trait.

Carmen seems careless/impulsive

Vonnie seems cold

Ryan seems detached/refusing to show vulnerability

I'm not totally sure for McCoy though.

The point is, they all show a toxic trait.

They all hurt others with that toxic trait.

First with Vonnie constantly criticizing everything, the drinks, chewing out the employee.

Then there's Carmen, forcing Vonnie to finish the drinks, and annoying Ryan by burying him in the sand and leaving him there

There's McCoy, hurting June by slapping her

And there's Ryan, first being annoyed at having to watch the bags, then making people haul his cooler around, then abandoning June at the end.

All of June's friends are toxic to some degree.

June and Ryan seems to be the only ones noticing the weird behavior as time goes on.

Ryan chickens out and goes outside, abandoning June.

June is left the only one trying to fix things between the friends. She either "drowns" from the work it is until she falls too, or has to give up.

We see her doubt herself about what if she's the one in the wrong.

There's also at the beginning where she mentioned her cousin finally leaving a toxic friend group.

All in all, I think it'd represent toxic relationships

Literal:

All of it starts when they are touched by the resorts water.

McCoy gets splashed with the drink, then showers. Vonnie and Carmen drink.

Then, the more time passes, the more obsessed they find themselves with water, and the less caring they are of others.

McCoy staying in the ocean then drinking a whole jug of water.

Carmen staying in a filled bathtub.

Vonnie eating water-filled food (seafood)

They are all acting rude/aggressive by that point.

Meanwhile, June hasn't had any opportunity to drink water (or really anything) since the start except for a few sips of the cocktails and a few drinks at the bar the first night.

Ryan, we don't really know. We can assume the water from the rain affected him, though, which caused him to get affected by whatever was happening.

But then why didn't June get affected? She went into the ocean, she drank, she stayed in the rain.

I'm honestly not sure about that part.

In whichever case, my guess is that some sort of eldritch deity had taken control over the minds of the people of the island through the fluids mainly, to being them to the water and drown them.

The water was also weird, with it suddenly being extremely deep for no reason.

June either falls while trying to save her friends, or survives.
