RainCity

The rain kept falling. Drops of water fell on the corrugated iron roof, sliding down the windows like cold fingers caressing the memories of the city. In a hidden corner, among the dark alleys, a small cat walked silently. It had nothing but a simple bag, an old photo and a mission to complete: find your lost sister in the heart of RainCity.

Introduce about RainCity

RainCity is a unique hand-drawn puzzle adventure game developed by Cotton Game, the studio behind games like Mr. Pumpkin and Isoland. The game is set in a rainy city where you play as a cat searching for his missing sister. Along the way, you will meet many strange characters, discover hidden secrets, and solve challenging puzzles to move forward. The gameplay is traditional point-and-click, requiring careful observation of the surroundings and logical combination of items.

Unique hand drawn graphic style

Not flashy or flashy, RainCity chooses a somber color palette. The dominant shades of gray and blue give the city a melancholy look, where everything seems to be sleeping under layers of rainwater accumulated over the years. The city’s architecture is a mix of the ancient and the modern, with old apartments, wet brick streets, and blurred neon signs reflecting on stagnant water.

Every street corner has its own unique features. A deserted grocery store with an old man quietly cleaning the windows. A coffee shop with yellow light shining through the curtains, where a mysterious customer sits and flips through old books. An abandoned train station, where footsteps echo in the vast space. Everything has a purpose, is part of a larger picture that you need to piece together.

The story

The story opens with a letter. The protagonist’s sister, also a cat, has gone missing in RainCity. There are few clues other than hastily written notes and a brief plea for help.

You come to this city with a faint hope, but the further you go, the more you realize that this story may go further than you ever imagined. The characters you meet all have secrets. Some avoid you, some lie, some look at you with worried eyes but dare not speak. Why does it always rain in RainCity? What happened to the residents here? And most importantly, where is your sister?

And then you discover the truth. A mysterious organization is performing inhumane experiments on the residents of RainCity. They turn animals into mindless labor machines, stripping them of their consciousness, turning them into tools. And your sister, she is just one of the victims.

The story unfolds like an old yellowed book, with scattered pieces falling before you. An old photograph. A rusty key. A stranger who knows more than they say. You piece them together, bit by bit, and the final picture emerges: a cold nightmare masked as an ordinary city.

But the scariest thing is not the experimental machines. It’s the feeling of helplessness. When you realize that even after rescuing your sister, even after escaping this city, the rain still falls. The experiments still continue. The shadows still walk in silence. And RainCity, it doesn’t end when you leave, it still exists, it continues to devour others.

Unique point-and-click gameplay

This is not an action game. You can’t run, jump, or fight. It’s all about observation, reasoning, and connecting the little pieces scattered around.

Each room is a puzzle. You can see an old clock that doesn’t work. A key stuck in the door slot. A robotic cat sitting motionless with a cold gaze. There are no clear instructions. You need to search, collect small items, and match them in the most reasonable way.

There are simple puzzles that can be solved with just a little bit of ingenuity. But there are also puzzles that make you think for a long time, have to go back to old locations, have to try many different ways to find the solution.

And then there are those times when you stand in front of a door without a key. A piece of paper with strange symbols. A stranger giving you a half-baked hint. A feeling of helplessness and loss creeps into your mind. But that’s the nature of RainCity, it doesn’t rush to give you the answer. You have to find it by your own persistence.

RainCity with mysterious characters

RainCity, this city is full of strangers and each of them exudes an air of “not simple”. An old man with dull eyes, always sitting by the window looking out at the endless rain. Who was he? A mute little girl hugging an old doll tightly. Her eyes seemed to want to say something, but her mouth could not utter a word. A man in a yellow raincoat always appears briefly in the hidden corners. Who is he? And why is he always following you?

Not everyone is willing to help. Some characters will give you valuable hints. Some will distract you, pushing you deeper into the maze. And some, even if they are just fleeting shadows, will leave you with unanswered questions.

Music and atmosphere in the game

There’s not always music. Sometimes all you hear is the rain, footsteps on water, a door creaking. But when music plays, it seeps into every dark corner of the city, every corner of your mind. Sometimes it’s a gentle piano melody, like a distant memory drifting in the rain. Sometimes it’s a distorted, unsettling note, as if something is wrong lurking just beneath the surface of reality.

I wouldn’t limit the atmosphere to visuals or audio, it’s a combination of everything. A flickering streetlight. A silhouette reflected in a puddle. A messy room with books scattered on the floor. It all creates a sense of familiarity yet strangeness, like you’ve been here before but can’t remember when.

There are stories that end with a full stop. There are stories that end with a question mark. But there are also stories that, even though they have come to an end, still leave us with things that cannot be named. RainCity is a dream, a riddle, a whisper in the rain. And when the screen fades to black, when the rain has not stopped, you will wonder: “Have I really left this city?”
