News: Play in the rain later this year as a young boy with an invisible silhouette that can only be seen in the rain

Rain arrives on PSN for PS3 later this year

Rain is expected to fall on the PS3 later this year when Sony’s Japan Studio releases their newest game. So far all we have really seen of this game is a young boy running after a girl with an invisible silhouette brought to life only in the rain. Well, a new story trailer has recently been released that shows a bit more. The new trailer is titled, Two Silhouettes, and you will discover that eventually the paths of the invisible boy and girl collide. As the boy chases after the girl, he enters the mysterious world of rain and learns that he has also become invisible. In the pouring rain he is lost and frightened as he is hunted by ghostly creatures.

Each of the locations they’ll visit throughout the game varies dramatically from the next. For instance, the church where the boy and girl nearly meet on their venture houses a number of rooms near the altar and scaffolding to hide from enemies while the abandoned factory presents a more dangerous gritty setting with metal structures and high industrial walkways. It is here that the boy discovers that when he walks through mud he can be seen by any enemy and only by walking through a deep rain puddle to wash off the mud will he be able to hide once again.

Together the boy and girl will explore more new environments such as the brightly light circus filled with trinkets and deserted enclosures where they will have to work together in unique ways to escape their pursuers. rain is an emotional journey that will remind players of a familiar yet distant time.

Rain is set to hit the PS3 later this year. Check out the new story trailer below and tell us what you think. Will you download Rain off of PSN when it becomes available?
