[[caption-width-right:350: A story of an invisible world revealed by the rain]]

->''"Been wandering 'round''
->''Lost in this night...''
->''Like a stranger, I walk alone,''
->''Through a cold and empty world...''
->''Where the rain whispers to my heart,''
->''And the moonlight shows me the way..."''

Developed by Creator/SCEJapanStudio, ''rain'' is a Creator/{{Sony}} UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 exclusive ActionAdventure title released on the UsefulNotes/PlayStationNetwork in the fall of 2013. A nameless boy, upon seeing the silhouette of a girl being chased by an unknown entity, wanders out into the rain of the city until he begins turning invisible like her. The boy discovers various other transparent creatures roaming around town, hostile to the girl and him. He must find a way to her among the endless rain, walking in a newly-discovered world only revealed by it.

The uniqueness of ''rain'' is the setting itself: the boy can only be seen while standing in pouring rain, as is the girl and the mysterious creatures. By walking towards shelter, players will only see the boy's footprints, so it's up to them to utilize the boy's visibility in the rain to navigate the city, solve puzzles and evade the creatures.

Compare ''VideoGame/LostInShadow'', except it uses a LivingShadow in place of rain.

-> A story of an invisible world revealed by the rain

Developed by Creator/SCEJapanStudio, ''rain'' is a {{Sony}} PlayStation3 exclusive ActionAdventure title to be released on the PlayStationNetwork in the fall of 2013. A nameless boy, upon seeing the silhouette of a girl, wanders out into the rain of a city, until he discovers that he too is turning invisible like her. The boy discovers various other transparent creatures roaming in the city, hostile to the girl and him. He must find a way to her among the endless rain, walking in a newly-discovered world only revealed by the rain.

The uniqueness of ''rain'' is the setting itself: the boy can only be seen while standing in pouring rain, as is the girl and the mysterious creatures. By walking towards shelter, players will only see the boy's footprints, so it's up to them to utilize the boy's visibility in the rain to navigate the city, solve puzzles and evade the creatures.

Compare ''LostInShadow'', except it uses a LivingShadow in place of rain.
