I originally gave this a very negative review, and I stand by it. This game is so horrendously bad that I frankly suspect the dev is paying money for his "Mostly Positive" rating. What I can confirm is that sometime after I had written the below review, he messaged me directly and tried to bully me into changing it. I told him I would give his game another fair shake, when the new episode (II) came out, but I would not change my review; so he reported it for abuse, which was ultimately dismissed by the Steam admins. Episode II came out, and, true to my word, I went back to try this again. I discovered, in the first place, that the update had deleted my save files, and that I literally could not play episode II unless I played the prologue and episode I all over again; and when I went to do so, I discovered that extremely little, if anything, had changed. So I did not bother to continue all the way through the game; my original review follows, and as far as I have seen, all the problem...

Cool game with a very noir atmosphere. perhaps at first glance, it does not attract you, but in fact it is an interesting detective story in which everything is taken into account. Simple but not obvious puzzles, interrogating suspects and finally arresting.I would like some kind of background ambience during the investigation, it seems to me in combination with the sounds of rain it would be more noir, Waiting for the next episods, and perhaps season 2!;)

A promising prologue. As the player steps into the shoes of our main character the game immediately surrounds him with a purposeful atmosphere familiar from old detective stories. You have a dirty apartment, some alcoholism, past work related injury and a dead body. On top of it all it keeps raining all the time. In the prologue the player tries to make sense of the evidence surrounding a death of a housemaid. The prologue quite short but yet rather captivating. We have a nice set of dialog, different characters, lots of objects to inspect and a generally atmospheric milieu. Some adult themes such as a dead body, pharmaceutical drugs and alcohol are included but hey, it's a detective game. I felt the game was a fresh and simple return to the golden 90s of games when player was experiencing a story instead of just concentrating on running through a linear map with scripted cinematics to keep the player interested. The controls of the game are simple. You have your cursor keys for mov...

If you like 90´s puzzle/adventure games with a nostalgic atmosphere and written story. rainyday is pretty much everything. Definitely worth the money! Im looking forward to "episode 1"

The prologue and episode one took about 35 mins to complete. There aren't really any puzzles to speak of - the gameplay consists of interacting with everything possible to discover the clues to advance the story. I felt slightly misled by the trailer that plays immediately on the store page, as it is gave me the impression that the game used a more standard camera angle, but in actuality the scenes are all shown from overhead. My favorite thing about the game is the atmosphere - the rain sound effects and the rain falling around the play window were well done. Unfortunately the story is clumsy and way too much is crammed into random text without any build, which doesn't engage the player. Also, I noticed a few awkward uses of language - not that every game should be natively written in English, but some polish needs to be applied to the simple mechanics of the language. Perhaps the use of police slang would add to the atmosphere, particularly in the cop-to-cop dialogues in the pro...

This game gave me a cancer.

Great detective game. Chilling atmosphere with great music and graphics. Recommended!

For 2,99 € this indie game is good (waiting for next two episodes). I was not expecting anything special so I was pleasently suprised how the storyline and melancholic music kept me playing the game.

Fun little game with decent atmosphere, worth picking up on sale if you're a fan of puzzle/adventure style games

Currently there is the prologue and episode 1. I really liked the chapters so far, yeah the puzzles aren't really puzzles and more search for the items, but to me that's more realistic in the sense that, that is what a detective would do; search for evidence and then arrest the culprit. Really looking forward to episode 2 and 3 Cx
