There are elements that test skills including memory and observation, and the many items that appear add to its appeal to the game. The picture book-like graphics and story about animals who live like humans will draw you in to the world of Rain City. I say “should” because that’s not always the case. I won’t call myself a point and click veteran, but I’ve played a fair amount of them and feel confident in my ability to play through one without the use of internet tips. With Rain City, however, I found myself referring to a video aid more than once after being positively dumbfounded by an obscure puzzle solution. Many of these instances were cases of trial and error where, without any sort of visual clue.

I was unsure whether I was on the right track or not.

In others, I simply had no idea what to do and hovering the items in my inventory over every available inch of the current area didn’t glean much. It’s one thing to be challenging, but it’s another thing entirely to be obscure.The preferred flow of any puzzle game would be, at least from my perspective, a series of problems with increased difficulty until you get to that point where you really have to put on your thinking cap. You’d lose momentum at that point, sure, but upon figuring it out, that celebratory high would take you through the next series of puzzles before you hit another roadblock.

Rain City had me run into roadblocks far too often for there to be any forward momentum that helped me get through the frustration of not knowing what the hell to do next. This could have easily been fixed by either including a hint system, providing more contextual clues, and/or giving some sort of confirmation that the player is on the right track–all of which Rain City lacks. Rain City is a point and click game set in a world besieged by a steady downpour, where animals are the sole inhabitants. It tells the story of a young cat who’s looking for his sister and must solve a series of puzzles in order to traverse the world and find her.

Characters

Along your journey through Rain City, you’ll meet a host of wacky characters, scratch your head at obscure puzzles, and enjoy a gloomy atmosphere aided by a sombre soundtrack and the quiet pitter-patter of rain. Rain City makes use of the left stick to move your character, the a, x, and y buttons to interact with objects when prompted, and the ZR and L buttons to access your inventory. The UI is minimalistic, appearing only when you call upon or add to your inventory, which I like to see (or not) in any game because it adds an extra level of immersion. Your character provides commentary on objects within the world, which fleshes out your understanding of your surroundings and should also clue you in on what needs to be done next.

For example, if you pick up a mysterious object and have absolutely no idea what it could be for, the main character should provide some sort of hint via context like, “haven’t I seen something like [x] before?” or “this would work perfectly with something like [x]” Perhaps it has something to do with Cotton Game being a Chinese studio, or maybe it’s just the personalities of the devs oozing out, but their games push against the point-and-click norm, and we love them for it. And while RainCity isn’t prime Cotton Game, it’s still worth your time. RainCity starts with the main character, ‘Cat’, arriving in the perpetually raining city. Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch

Graphics

They’re here to see their sister, a journalist, who was last seen holed up in the local hostel. But she’s clearly gone, and no-one has much of an idea where. A camera lies in her room with photos of a few of the city’s core characters, and it’s down to you to investigate. As you wander the first rooms of RainCity, it’s abundantly clear that it’s a pretty game. Not in a flashy manner, but in a subtly beautiful way. As with previous Cotton Game titles, nothing feels digital: everything feels hand-painted onto thick cartridge paper. Every scene is delightful, particularly when Cat emerges onto the roofs of the city. The audio gets the memo too, as it also comes across as analogue.

Rain pitter-patters onto surfaces, and the soundtrack follows a similar percussive pattern. The controls are simple, as you have direct control over Cat and move them close to areas-of-interest, where button prompts appear. You get to pick up items, but you’ll never have more than five or six at a given time, so the puzzles aren’t convoluted. Different from Mr Pumpkin, Cat doesn’t automatically use items in situations where they’d be of benefit. Instead, RainCity opts for a system where you press RT to highlight an item, and then drag it onto the screen. If it hits something of use, the item will automatically be used.
