All four main characters are controlled from the third-person perspective with only several buttons, as the interaction with the environment is usually done by activating on-screen prompts like holding the trigger, pushing a button, positioning the stick, or all in one. Heavy Rain is an unusual action-adventure game. In the course of the completion, players will follow the characters on their way to the key of the murderer’s mystery. It soon reveals that all Origami Killer’s murders are connected with weather changes (actually heavy rains). Players assume roles of four people – Ethan Mars, Norman Jayden, Madison Paige, and Scott Shelby – somehow involved in the case of Origami Killer, who is used to leave his victims alone, marked with origami figures.
Heavy Rain is an interactive drama telling the story of the investigation of a serial murder’s case.
