The Forest of Drizzling Rain

Included with the 2022 version.

The Forest of Drizzling Rain was first released as a freeware game on October 11, 2013.

It retains the dark, raw touch of that era, when freeware horror was emerging title after title from the underground scene.

In 2024, distribution of this version ended on "Freem!" and the Game Magazine app, due to changes in the distribution environment and the difficulty of continued support. Since then, there had been no official way to obtain it.

In 2026, in keeping with the wishes of creator Makoto Sanada, it was revived—not as a standalone re-release, but as part of this product.

■STORY

All alone following the death of her parents, Shiori Kanzaki happens to run across an old photograph in their bedroom. In that photograph, which bears the unfamiliar inscription "Azakawa Village," is a young Shiori with her parents, along with another man old enough to be her grandfather.

Shiori goes looking for that village and pays a visit to the local museum, where she meets Kotaro Suga. Suga, the museum curator, strongly urges her to leave the village immediately.

When Shiori continues exploring Azakawa Village, a secret truth gradually comes to light. What will her reaction be once all is fully revealed?
