Under That Rain

Creepy old school point & click adventure in The style of the 90 ' s The Video Game, which is called "Under That Rain." Under this Rain), in the middle of 2017 has been released for the PC. As a Genre, it's more associated with the Indie-horror, horror, gore, Point & click adventure genre in pixelart style. The Whole thing was Developed and published by a small, independent Studio called "Badtale Studios." Behind "Badtale Studios" Are two Italians (The Studio's headquarters are in Italy, Rome), who work on story writing and Video Games in their Spare time. Thus, "Under That Rain" is the first published Game of the two. It's also Worth noting that "Under That Rain" has been divided into two Episodes, and only the first Episode is playable. The second Episode is currently being worked on and if interested, you can see the Status of the Production on the original Website. Story technically is a young Social Worker from the Youth Office in Paris (France) who one Evening receives an extremely disturbing and violent File About a young Boy, and thus decides to get to Work immediately. The Protagonist, named "Andrè La Croix," therefore drives, after Receiving the file, directly to the Estate where the little Boy currently lives to get a Picture of the current Situation, but nothing is normal ... Apparently, the Property hides more Secrets than thought and the Protagonist is put to the Test. How much Pain, Suffering and Sorrow can a Person tolerate? Doesn't each of us have a dark, awkward Chapter in his Book of the Past? The following Course I will try to present the pros, and Cons of the Game, short and crisp as a Table. As a small Comment, I would remind you that I am only BRINGING in MY personal Gaming experiences and Sensations, and trying to describe them objectively. This means that every Person has a different Understanding, and the Point Of view is rather relative. Positive Features: + Detailed Environment, as usual in old Point & Click adventures + Great pixelart style + creepy and lonely Atmosphere + weird and mysterious Characters + captivating and exciting Story + Many dialoguing possibilities + 16- Bit soundtracks + Exciting "Cliffhanger" that arouses interest on the second Episode + value for money is right; For €5 you will be about between 3 and 5 Hours creepily entertained negative features:-From time to time there is no creepy, musical accompaniment, but rather "pop" and "cheerful" music, which I personally have sometimes found confusing and not so "creepy"- The Protagonist makes some of his own Decisions, in the Form of clicking on Cabinets or Drawers and wanting to explore them, as you have to look for a Key, and the Protagonist simply says, however, that he has no Desire or Interest to the cupboard/drawer Browse-Browse a VIEL too big estate to Explore, which I'd felt overwhelmed with (but I have to admit as a positive feature that ALL the locations, looked great and creepy!)-There are VIEL too fast-clicking quick-time events IN A Point & Click-Adventure-Not well placed Checkpoints-Some Puzzle sequences I could not easily comprehend and comprehend-Above-average English skills must be had to be understood (Maybe it will be patched at some point, or one is The Italian also powerful xD) Conclusion: In Summary, I can say to the Old School Horror Point & Click game that I have mostly experienced the captivating story with fear and frightening, so I'm already looking forward to the second Episode! Of course, the Game is not perfect, and in some Places I was due to the strange Puzzles, frustrated, and confused by the sometimes uncoherent Choice of Music, but I personally recognize the Potential and Ideas that the Developers have. Above all, I find the background story of the Protagonist very interesting and would like to know more about him. Overall, I have no regrets about buying and playing the Game. Furthermore, I'm a very big Fan of creepy Point & Click Games anyway, which have the Focus on "Storytelling" instead of Solving Puzzles. I'm very excited to see how the Developers will shape the second Episode, and how the Story will go on. In Conclusion, I can recommend the Game to anyone who is open to new things, a horrorish and creepy Pixel Art story, with a focus on the old school style human Psyche! Unfortunately, you also have to bring very good knowledge of English, but where do you not have to do that today?! (o ^ ^ o) Written by Rithleen
