Instead, repeatedly examine the book on the table (after having read everything else) until it gives you the option to open it despite being "stuck shut". Towards the end of the game when you find the room filled with books and notes, choose not to call for help. Proceed through that area, go down the ladder, and take the nightstone on the table inside the cave. Head to the left and examine the area alongside the cliff, and you should get a message about it being dangerous to cross, but given the option to do so.
When playing as Shuga after Shiori is abducted, go back down from the huge stone to the collapsed bridge area. Try Boot Camp or Parallels or CrossOver Games. Thanks to Catzcradle for sending this one in! If you like stories of childhood friendship, revenge, and justice, Forest of Drizzling Rain is well worth checking out. It's on the short side compared to some other freeware horror adventures, likely clocking in between an hour or two for most players, making it the perfect size for an unsettling evening's play. It's a game that could use a bit of polish in several areas, especially in its translation, but still offers enough mystery and creepiness to keep you playing through to the end. The main cast is likable even if they embody some familiar tropes, and there are some genuinely tense scenes and fantastic use of sound. Despite this, however, if you're looking for a cinematic adventure that deals with horror less through jump scares and more through subtle and disturbing content, Forest of Drizzling Rain is a good choice. The game can drag a bit from time to time, and some puzzles or the means to get the "true" ending just aren't that intuitive, or are presented in an awkward way.
Apart from an annoying chase sequence or two, most of Forest of Drizzling Rain feels like it revolves too much around finding keys and simply collecting items, not involving enough actual puzzle solving. That said, the gameplay might be a little too straight-forward for most. The whole horror itself is handled a bit less subtly, with foreshadowing so heavy all the characters should be walking bent at the waist, but even if you think you know what to expect, the way time is spent developing the characters and their circumstances makes it feel much more cohesive than if you were simply shunted from scare to scare. Shiori is a sympathetic character, her loneliness well illustrated in a scene at the beginning of the game where she can't bring herself to put away all the stale remains of the birthday dinner her parents had laid out for her before they died. Despite the rigid dialogue that comes across as a result of a translation that might be a little too literal, it's a surprisingly engrossing little adventure, largely because it manages to balance its pacing and buildup. There are five different endings, all of which depend on your actions towards the end of the game, but make sure you save often and in different slots!įorest of Drizzling Rain is a relatively straight-forward adventure, emphasizing story and exploration. While many items will be used automatically when needed, you may need to open your inventory and manually use some of them for them to be activated. Use the keys to move, hold to run, the to interact, and hit to open the menu and save your game at any time. But Shiori can't shake a feeling that she's been there before, and despite the odd behaviour of troublemaker teenager Sakuma and the odder behaviour of the surly museum manager, Suga, who communicates only in written notes and carries a fake sword, Shiori is determined to find out why her family fled this place and cut all contact years ago. As it happens, the village has some strange local legends, and to say some people are a little off is putting it mildly. While cleaning out her family home and handling the orders for the funeral, she's shocked to come across a photograph of a man who can only be her grandfather, and as the months pass and the loneliness doesn't go away, she finally decides to try to visit the village written on the back of the photo.
