The Forest of Drizzling Rain (2022)

First released on "Freem!" on October 11, 2013, the multi-ending exploration horror game The Forest of Drizzling Rain was then rebuilt from the ground up—from story to visuals—and completed nine years later as Full Ver. (2022).

Playing as Shiori Kanzaki, you will get to enjoy her visit to Azakawa Village, right up until you are plunged into a world of fear.

1. More endings to choose from, including bad endings with story lines at every turn, even from the very beginning of the game. There are additional late game ending routes and even a special scenario for players who conquer all of the endings.

2. A second chapter has been added between the first and second halves of Original Ver. (2013), during which you can freely walk around the map of beautiful Azakawa Village. Chat with some of the more colorful villagers, or spend your time fishing in one of the minigames while enjoying this new scenario.

Who knows, maybe Shiori's accomplishments during the day will have an effect on her nighttime conversations with Suga.

3. Meet new characters with new story lines. There are many completely new additions to the story that never appeared in the manga or novels!

4. Enjoy the same polished finish and delicate attention to detail found in later titles such as Angels of Death, with newly rewritten conversations and events, and a map rebuilt from scratch.

5. the Taking Spirit is a shocking new scenario which paints a deeper picture of the sad truth that has haunted Azakawa Village for the past several hundred years.

With all this and more, here is The Forest of Drizzling Rain in its completed form.

Even veterans of Original Ver. (2013) are likely to find themselves repeatedly diving in to enjoy the refreshing new gameplay.

One unassuming female college student, one tiny village, and one long night filled with incomprehensible fear.

Why don't you try exploring Azakawa Village, and perhaps you can expose the hidden truth while you're at it.

■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?
