Rainswept

I played the demo for this game way back when, and with the upcoming new release from the dev I was reminded that I still needed to backtrack and play this one!

Rainswept is a point and click adventure game, first of all. What I love about this dev's style is that the characters are very simple, but the backgrounds and location designs really are beautiful. There's a lot of layers there! And fittingly, there are a lot of layers in the story of this game too.

You take on the role of a detective sent to a small town to investigate the deaths of two residents, who moved to the place fairly recently. It looks like a fairly simple case to begin with, but as you interact with more of the locals a bigger picture begins to emerge.

Of course, our character isn't so open and shut either, with dark thoughts and unpleasant memories lurking beneath the surface, threatening to overwhelm us completely.

There isn't too much puzzle-wise in the game that will make you scratch your head, this is all about the interactions you have with the people around you. Can you solve the case and come out with your sanity intact? Or are you doomed to fail and lose more than you could ever imagine?

This truly is an amazing character study of a game, and there's some sprinklings of humour dashed in between all of the murky depression. Definitely worth checking out, along with the demo for the dev's upcoming game Forgotten Fields!

I'm trying to organize this in my library. Is this action/adventure, or?

Hey, i'd love to get this but when is the Linux port coming up?

OMG Is it just me or does that look like Castiel from Supernatural

Super excited for the full release of this game! Any idea of how much it will cost?

This is just the type of games I love, will play it tonight and write a review soon after 

hey just wanted to leave some feed back.  btw looking forward to the full release! ive never been into "side scroller games" idk if im using that term correctly ^.^!  I'm huge into playing mystery games,  so i had to check it.  starting off with the amount of detail that was put onto the game, just the little thing from the  the messy room, messy book shelve, personalized letters in the room and all the knick knacks around the house, did really good conveying the setting in each new place. The characters were written really well, (played a lot of indie games and sometimes the writing  they had for the characters seemed kinda hollow, like they had no personality)  i could see their personality based on the writing style and how  it change from character to character (as you guys stated on you description) the characters had very distinct personalities from troubled,tryna keep it together, and,sarcastic detective to mysterious,vague with intentions priest...I know the priest did >.> <.< i know it! haha, anyways just wanted to say  keep up the good work guys! i did  a lets play, this is my first part of it. 

I really enjoyed the game and can't wait for the full release. 

I would definitely recommend supporting the Indiegogo campaign on in the post below (or in the description of my video)!

Alright. This game is amazing. This is just one of the episodes I recorded for the game, but when I am writing this, I already finished the demo. Really nice job on the game, I'm looking forward to getting the full version :D

Immediately added to steam wishlist. I'm in need of more murder mystery detective ish games that doesn't have the flashlight horror theme going on and I definitely want to see more of what this story has to offer! 

Not sure if this is a part of the game but here's a bug :')

Any chance of a demo for Linux?
