The player is encouraged to explore the detailed, atmospheric city, but there’s no grinding and no repetition – not even in combat. Every battle is deeply rooted in the story and centered around a unique morale mechanic, allowing the player to use environments, ruse tactics, threats and even smart dialogue choices to handle confrontations without resorting to mindlessly blowing enemies to pieces.

Rain of Reflections is all about finding strenghts in limitations. This goes both for our philosophy in making the game, and for the actual mind-set in the game’s world. The narrative direction will remain focused, without excessive, filler side-missions, to keep the player immersed and engaged all the way to the very end. It will be a comparatively shorter, more intense RPG.

Rain of Reflections tells its noiresque story through three protagonists, two of which are female. The player will get to experience life in the futuristic, dystopian city through all three perspectives, ranging through society’s layers and social classes, interweaving the highly choice-driven journey.

Every choice has a consequence. The player is forced to live with them. In the words of the game’s leading characters: “This is my story. This is your story. This is our story. To the very end.”

Starting today, pricing on Lionbite’s adventure strategy hybrid Rain of Reflections for PC/Steam will be adjusted down across the board, to a new level of 9.99 EUR/USD. This means that each Chapter release will now be 9.99 going forward.

At the same time, they’re also bringing the game to the Humble Store and Green Man Gaming - with a 10% introductory discount!

For all the early adopters/buyers (to whom we’re so very thankful), we will offer compensation for this sudden change in pricing. Find out more here.

"We’re so thankful for the warm reception of the first Rain of Reflections this far, and so happy to see that critics and Steam buyers alike seem to enjoy the unique adventure-strategy blend we’ve really poured our hearts into!"

"Ever since the release we’ve been actively engaging with the players, listening to and reading their feedback, and trying to answer any questions they’ve had. One major take-away from these discussions has been that the pricing for the different Chapters has not been motivated and communicated clearly enough. That's why we're adjusting the pricing to 9.99 euros/dollars across the board."

Setting key events in motion, the first release introduces the player to the game world and its mechanics:

• Actively choose every single line spoken by the protagonist, to convince, defuse or outsmart a variety of strong-willed, multifaceted characters in fully voice acted dialogues.
• Explore richly varied environments ranging from the sophisticated upper class Stem, to the flooded slums of the Trench, the twisted Temple, the heavily guarded Waste Plant and the coldly clinical Labs.
• Engage in a turn-based strategy system with a range of tactical options where you seamlessly can choose to move stealthily, speak or open fire with precise, calculated shots causing environmental destruction and affecting the enemy's motivation.
• Breach computer systems, crack locks and eavesdrop on radio frequencies through a variety of hacking puzzles.
• Choose how you play – point and click your character to where you want them to go using a mouse, or gain direct control of their movement with a gamepad.
• Contemplate every choice in a system that halts to await your every input, but make sure you tread lightly – once a choice is made, its consequences will be definitive and may affect characters living or dying and even the very outcome of the story...

Rain of Reflections ambitious story will feature multiple chapters, each of them a full tale in itself, adding layers to the story and showing completely new and fresh areas and gameplay through different perspectives. ”Chapter 2 – “Open Eye” – will follow a deadbeat private investigator in a cyberpunk district called The Cluster, while Chapter 3 – “Undercurrent” – will shed light on the Infrared underground resistance movement and its front figure, Imra.
