Heavy Rain tells the story of several characters, all caught up in the web of intrigue surrounding a rash of serial child murders from a man known only as the Origami Killer. You are totally immersed in the story and you totally become the character you are playing. Sure, you walk around looking for items and engage in endless conversation topics with a cast of unique characters all staples of the adventure genre, but you do so in such a way that at no time do you feel you are playing a game. Heavy Rain is a bold step forward in interactive cinema, so bold that it has actually evolved into its own genre, as I hesitate to even classify this as your standard action-adventure title. Over the past decade Heavy Rain has been remastered and re-released several times and now it finally makes its way to the PC, the birthplace of adventure games, so non-console gamers can finally partake in this unique style of entertainment. Conceived by David Cage and developed by Quantic Dream, previously known for their cult-classic Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain would pave the way for a trilogy of cross-generational titles that pushed the boundaries of technology and the way we played and interacted with video games. Originally released on the PlayStation 3 back in early 2010, Heavy Rain was the first of what would soon pioneer a new style of interactive drama.
