As some of you may know, I’m a big fan of adventure games. While visiting AdventureGamers.com earlier (a site for which I also write), I was reminded of the game rain, due out this year exclusively for the PlayStation 3.
In rain, you play as a boy trying to catch up to a girl who is being chased my monsters. During your pursuit, you stumble into the monsters’ path, and have to avoid them as well.
Also, you are invisible. As is the girl. As are the monsters. You only see others as you are seen: in the steadily falling rain. Going under cover allows you invisibility and gets the monsters off your tail. For now.
Upon watching the trailer below, I immediately thought of Little Fears, specifically the World in Between from Among the Missing. The fiction in rain could easily be something that happens when a child slips through the cracks of our world.
I’m going to be keeping an eye on this game, and urge Little Fears to do so as well. No release date for rain beyond this year but I have a feeling this will be worth it no matter the wait.
