Sony Japan Studio's rain Game's 2nd Developer Diary, Gamescom Trailer Posted

Sony began streaming the second developer diary and a Gamescom trailer on Wednesday for Japan Studio's rain PlayStation 3 video game. The second in a series of videos focuses on the game's music and features interviews with various staff members, including composer Yūgo Kanno and vocalist Connie Talbot. Sony had streamed the first diary on the game's world earlier this month.

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 Gamescom trailer reveals that the game will be available in the United Kingdom on October 2. Sony also revealed at Gamescom on Wednesday that the game will be available in North America on October 1 and in Japan on October 3. The game will cost US$14.99 or 12.99 Euros.
