A free Steam demo for the 1998 Tokyo Lo-Fi psychological suspense adventure Rain98 is now available. The demo runs about three hours and covers the start of the story through the first half of Chapter 2. Players get novel sections, interactions with the heroine Reina Amehara, exploration of rainy 1998 Shibuya, and mini-games. Mamiko Noto has been added as the voice of Kyoko Yose. The full game is expected to run 10–15 hours, and a future update will add the rest of Chapter 2. Three hours from the opening is a longer demo than most indie ADV titles put out. It shows the apartment life and city exploration before the full release.

The importance of the soundtrack: I overlaid two completely different pieces of music—one suspenseful and one romantic—onto this video I created with Grok Imagine, and the impact of the video changed drastically.

Eh? It’s just so one note. Frantic / determined Pattinson is compelling, but also more taxing than intriguing by the end. None of the side quests add any depth of character. Would’ve been a better big budget suspenseful blockbuster, imo, but we’d have probably lost all the incredible lighting work. Trailer hooked me, movie didn’t deliver.
