* AnimalJingoism: The unknown bugs don't seem to get along well with anything; They'll swarm and leech the boy and the dog unknowns to death if they see either. They're the only unknown creatures that don't coexist peacefully with the other unknowns.
Added DiffLines:
* SuperDrowningSkills: The unknown bugs don't seem to be capable of swimming or breathing underwater, vanishing completely as soon as they slip under the surface. It's common for puzzles involving them to end with the bugs being dropped or lured into the ocean.

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.
