The game was first revealed at Gamescom and was released on the PlayStation Network in 2013. ==Plot== ''Rain'' takes place in a town loosely inspired by mid-twentieth century Paris, and follows a young boy. In the opening of the game, he is stuck in bed at home. During the day he stares out of his window and sees in the rain an invisible girl who is given form by the rain casting a silhouette around her. She stares at him for a brief second before being chased away by something huge and menacing that is also invisible. Curious, he follows the two down an alleyway, whereupon exiting through a pair of large doors, the day suddenly turns to night and the town is now deserted, occupied only by strange invisible beasts that roam the streets. The boy realises also that he himself is invisible; given form by the rain casting a silhouette around his body. With the way back closed, he attempts to find the girl, who is pursued still by the beast; referred to as the Unknown. Using any means to shelter from the rain, the boy evades the creatures that prowl the streets and alleyways, yet the girl proves ever elusive. Finally after missing his chance at a church being renovated, he then follows her in to the grounds of a disused factory and finally makes his presence to her known. They escape together, but neither is able to hear the others voice. Regardless, they continue on through the town while being pursued by the Unknown. As the game progresses, the children become aware that each has a visible doppelganger asleep in their respective homes. The girl attempts to awaken her other self; and while doing so begins to become visible again. But before she can finish, she is chased away by the Unknown. The boy follows, and upon exiting her house, discovers that the town has completely restructured itself in to a castle maze-type layout, that is afloat on water with nothing visible on the horizon. He eventually reunites with the girl and two flee from the ever-pursuing Unknown. Drawn to a strange light at the edge of the Unknown’s domain, the two arrive in an alleyway with the light seeping in through the very doors the boy had passed through when entering the world of the night. Exposure to the light suddenly weakens the Unknown and the children, seeing this, open both doors, causing it to collapse upon the ground. However they realise they cannot leave as without the rain, they have no physical form. Instead they drag the Unknown out in to the light and close the door on it, leaving themselves trapped in the world of the night. Suddenly the Unknown bursts through the door and collapses on to the boy, slowly crushing him with its weight. Unable to free him, the girl abandons him and heads straight to his home. There she yells at his window in the hope to awaken him, and succeeds as he becomes visible and vanishes, leaving her still trapped and alone. As with the opening; the closing is depicted through watercolour painted stills. The boy awakens in his bed in the day and immediately sets off across town, retracing his steps to the girl’s home. Standing outside below her bedroom window he attempts to awaken her the way she awoke him, with success as she appears on her bedroom porch. The game ends with the two reuniting on the street outside her house underneath a rainbow.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rain (video game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
