Rainswept is an emotional story where you need to solve a murder mystery.
You play as Michael Anderson. You’re a detective that’s been assigned to an unknown town called Pineview to help out the local police force with a case that’s seemingly simple.
The report is that a couple has been found murdered in their own kitchen. But who killed them?
It’s the classic whodunit scenario. The local people believe it’s a murder-suicide. After all, the couple has been stated to have a very unstable relationship with each other.
As a detective, you don’t believe anyone. It’s up to you to solve the murder mystery and find out what really happened. Or are the townsfolk right? Gather clues and find out!
It’s a classic detective game where you need to walk around town and talk to people to gather clues. It’s an atmospheric adventure game with artsy pixel work and an original emotional soundtrack.
The game draws you in with its simple graphics and keeps you attentive with a wide variety of characters each having deep histories, meaningful conversations, and swaying personalities. The game delves into touching topics like relationships, breakups, and even trauma.
You need to simply walk around the colorful town of Pineview and talk to people, take notes, and gather clues. There’s a lot of dialogs as it’s almost like a novel, but there’s a ton of adventure elements as well that make it kinda like an RPG. Characters have personalities and you need to talk to everyone to get clues.
You also have to search rooms and environments for clues. It has point-and-click elements to it like the original murder mystery games that litter the net where you need to find the clues.
If you’re into that, this game has it all. You need to search a bunch of objects (most of it is in plain sight) to gather evidence and clues to solve the puzzle.
Rainswept is currently available for early access and the game will last you about an hour. It’s worth the play if you’re into storyline-driven gameplay with a touch of exploration, puzzle-solving, and point-and-clicking.
The characters, storyline, and soundtrack will have you playing throughout the entire thing in one sitting. It’s that good.
