Under The Rain
About
Under The Rain is a psychological survival horror game in the style of the old classics of the genre with some modern gameplay elements added to the mix.
You play as Randolph Carter, who has recently been plagued by a recurring nightmare that is starting to pour into his waking life and is summoned by a stranger to return to Arkham...
In Under The Rain the player will aid Carter while he explores the abandoned and cursed city of Arkham, and some other locations found throughout the Lovecraftian Mythos to uncover it's mysteries. That is if he can survive and maintain his sanity...
Under The Rain is also thought out to be an episodic adventure, in active development.
I could also use some donations, because as a solo (and at the moment unemployed) developer, it is a huge struggle, and with some help from you guys, I could get some additional talent to help pull this off better and faster.
So, if you can donate, much appreciated, if not, well, enjoy the game and spread the word (and some feedback is welcome).
Also, you can go check out my IndieDB page and help me get a boost.
With that said, I hope you enjoy this short demo, and if you find anything wrong, or just have a suggestion to make, you are more than welcome to do so.
Features
- Melee and firearm combat - so you can have a fighting chance.
- Stealth - hiding in shadows and not making a lot of noise helps.
- Exploration - keep an eye out for useful items. These can be in plain sight or stashed around somewhere.
- Limited save slots and locations - just like in the good old days: no checkpoints, no autosaves, it's up to you to be careful.
- Controller friendly - Under The Rain is optimized to be played with a controller (although you can't navigate the inventory with a gamepad yet, sorry...), using by default a tank control scheme much like the old classics, but you can change it in the settings.
- Cinematic experience - no interface clutter, no Hud. Using a dynamic camera system, you feel like you are watching a horror movie, but you make the choices.
To Do
A lot of things... but mostly art assets.
Also, the AI is still a bit dumb, needs a lot of work in the sound department, a lot of animations need to be polished, and a few pesky bugs need fixing.
Besides a list of fixes I have, I also need your help to do some more bug hunt...
So, with all that said, I hope you enjoy it.
