What players say
Don't Google the story. Don't look up the ending. Don't read the comments looking for hints. Just play the damn game. Press X to Shaun. 🗿

An emotional masterpiece, a 10-13 hour psychological thriller with beautiful music and a gripping story that, once you get hooked, makes it easy to ignore some minor shortcomings in the controls and mechanics. At a discounted price of 2€, it's a sin to not try it, if you like adventure and story driven games even just a little. As an interactive-movie: 10/10 i love rain
The more I tried to force myself to like this game, the less I actually did. The gameplay is HORRIBLE, and unfortunately, the story is not necessarily making up for it. I am aware that this is an old game and was originally created for the PlayStation and not for PC gaming. Still, one could at least expect that after years of this game's existence the camera movements would somehow be fixed. Why is my camera moving...
