This Rain Will Never End

About

This Rain Will Never End casts you as a sardonic cat sleuth figuring out a city’s collapse. The mayor’s suicide coincides with an unrelenting downpour, and you’re tasked with piecing together clues through point-and-click exploration, dialogue choices, and environmental puzzles. The gameplay leans into classic adventure tropes with a slow-burn mystery, letting you interrogate suspects and follow paper trails as the world drowns in metaphorical and literal rain. The game’s charm lies in its deadpan noir tone and the absurdity of a feline investigator navigating bureaucratic decay. Players note the atmospheric art style and the way the constant rain seeps into the narrative, creating a tense, claustrophobic mood. With a 72% on Metacritic, it’s a niche title that rewards patience, though some found the pacing sluggish. The blend of dry humor and existential dread makes it memorable for fans of cerebral adventures.
