What players think
The recurring themes across 59 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The sound design during the home invasion is excellent, the pixel art (when they are not stuttering) during rain is beautiful, and while the story and its reveal and the motivations of the killer were ultimately laughable and over the top, there are some really great moment of tensions here, that works as a pre-cursor to the actual and more well realized tension we would see in The Happyhill Homicide.
A cool thing that 'The Rainman' does is it gives you 7 different endings to run through, so there is a lot more replayability here than 'The Happyhills Homicide,' the problem however is that THH gives you way more gameplay whereas Rainman gives you about half if you aren't bothered to run through every single ending, if you do wanna run through all endings you do match how much is available.
I say "cozy" horror because of the pixel graphics, dialogue, and story telling reminds me of that pixel cozy game trend but in a nostalgic 80's slasher flick.
