Heavy Rain
Find the origami killer..., Friday 19 March

Heavy Rain is an interactive singleplayer game developed by the French' Quantic Dream exclusively for PS3. Directed by Quantic Dream's founder and CEO David Cage, who also wrote and directed the studio's two previous games, Omikron: The Nomad Soul and Fahrenheit. Heavy Rain is a film noir look and feel drama game with four different main characters who are all looking for the so called Origami Killer. Very unique aspect about it is that you can actively influence the story, pressing different buttons on your controler during the inbetweens can change the plot. Quantic claims that therefore each player has a different experience. I'm very interested in your experiences, is Quantic right about this? Who's played the game twice or more already?
