Sony Japan Studio's rain Game's 1st Developer Diary Posted

Sony began streaming a developer diary video on Thursday for Japan Studio's rain PlayStation 3 video game. The first in a series of videos focuses on the world of the game and features interviews with various staff members, including director Yuki Ikeda, lead planner Tomoharu Fujii, art director Seiichi Terashima, and designer Tomokazu Oki.

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan announced the title at Gamescom last year along with Japan Studio's other in-development title, Puppeteer. Associate producer Dais Kawaguchi describes the story:

The story of rain is the enchanting tale about a boy who chases after a girl with an invisible silhouette. After discovering that the girl is being hunted by ghostly creatures, he embarks on his own journey into the mysterious world of rain to save her and discovers he has also become invisible. Players will play as the boy, whose silhouette can only be seen in the rain. Using the unique ability to appear and disappear under cover players must learn to navigate through the unknown to advance. Just like in the real world, what can be seen isn't everything and using imagination is the only way to reveal the truth.

The game will be available worldwide this fall.
