About the game: Rain follows the story of a nameless young boy, who after seeing a silhouette of a girl, decides to follow it. Much to his surprise though, he turns invisible when he comes out of the heavy downpour. Soon after that he finds out that only the rain has the ability to make him somehow visible, using an outlining of his silhouette. Now the great thing about this game is, that the visibility element is not only for the story, but instead plays a major part in the gameplay. And to succeed in solving the puzzles in-game, players will have to learn to utilize it to help the little boy.
Also, after seeing that dev diary, and having been a videogame music critic myself, I can say that it is going for a very interesting music style. According to Mr Yugo Kanno, the music will reflect the themes in-game, and will utilise several different instruments to give it a truly unique experience. Also, you can also see that, Connie Talbot, an up-and-coming vocalist, who had made her debut on Britian’s Got Talent in 2007 will be lending her unique voice to the main theme of the game, so be sure to check out the dev diary below that deals with the games music! And let me just tell you, once Connie starts singing, it will be a chore for you to stop the video, as she has an absolutely marvellous voice! Lastly, for your convenience, if you had missed it, we have also included the first part of the diary entitled, “The World of Rain” for your viewing pleasure below.
