Rain (video game)

Rain is a 2013 PlayStation Network exclusive adventure video game developed by Acquire and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was released for the PlayStation 3 in October 2013 and later for the PlayStation Vita in 2014.

The game centers around an unnamed boy who awakens one night to the apparition of a translucent girl in the rain. Compelled to follow her, he finds himself drawn into a mysterious world where both he and the girl become invisible unless standing in the rain.

Gameplay involves navigating puzzle-filled environments, using the rain (or lack thereof) to the player's advantage to become visible or invisible to enemies and to solve environmental challenges. The narrative unfolds through subtle storytelling, relying heavily on atmosphere, visual cues, and orchestral music to convey its themes. The game's art style is reminiscent of impressionist paintings, further emphasizing its somber and melancholic tone.
