  Honestly speaking, It'll ease your stress and boredom with its soundtrack, BGM and specially with its beautiful JAPAN's rainy environment. Wish the DEV's back with another project like this. ♥

  Rainy Seasons is a pleasant relaxing experience that brings me back to my days of spring break where it would often rain out any plans. It brings me to those good parts of my life where me, family and friends had to use our imaginations to keep us occupied and full of happiness and fun. Such simple wonderful times sometimes leaves us and we forget about so it is nice to have such a beautiful game to remind us to think more on such a small scale and to not worry so much.

  Rainy Season, made by Japanese solo developer Inasa Fujio, will see you walking through the memories of the aforementioned creator, while staying at home with his family. Deeply personal, Rainy Season brings with it a sense of warmness, peace, and a slight taste of melancholy. With no game breaking bugs, and an amazing lived in design, its a game that can be completed in 20 to 60 minutes, well worth the price. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a calm day. I absolutely recommend you to try it for yourself. You can check my video on it, here: https://youtu.be/9rnZrkFs70A

  "RAIN-RAIN GO AWAY… NO WAIT, COME AND PLAY!!"

  https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2959142324 Here's The Thing: You step into the shoes- or should I say bare feet, of an unnamed boy who is visiting his grandmother. His family had plans of going to the amusement park but that went down the drain because of the constant downpour, what with it being the rainy season in Japan and all. Will he find something meaningful to do or will he just laze away?

  ! SHOUT OUT !

  <+> PROS;

  :) A TERU-IFFIC WAY TO PASS THE TIME~

  This is no mere game, but rather an experience- a rainy day simulator, and in some ways a page out of everybody’s life stories. You are given free rein of how long you wish to dawdle in the house, whether it be 20, 40 or 60 minutes! Even though it is meant to capture the mundanity and agonizing lingering of time, it never felt stressful or all that boring. Besides, you could always skip to the next memorable event at the click of a button. What do you do? Well, it can range from simply doing literally nothing sitting kneeled down on the side porch, your eyes transposed to the continuous precipitation; wandering around the house and really observing what is in it on account of being trapped by the watery prison; talking with as well as showing items of special significance to other members of the household which would get them to reminisce on better days, and embarking on a mini-adventure that will enliven the senses! Although the game is up front with how long it can occupy you for, I found that I voluntarily stayed much longer than I had to thanks to its incredible ambiance and a very heartwarming homemade feel that is the end game sequence. It’s even something that I am fairly sure I would revisit on another rainy day, which isn’t always too far off from now~

  :) I CAN ONLY SHOWER IT WITH PRAISES!

  I dunno about you, but I am head over heels for singular settings, and here, the developer manages to cast these short spells of magic that start and stop. Conjuring eyes-sparkling, if not mouth-watering scenes profoundly suggestive of My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Spirited Away (2001), or any Studio Ghibli production, really! The child-like wonder, imaginative play, bountiful interactions, and once you’re done with it… a beautiful treasure of a memory. Even in its plain form, that is to say without you triggering the razzle-dazzle and fantasy seeping into reality- the house has a pulling and tugging sensation that washes over you, indicating to you that the creator went the extra mile in imbuing care and meaning into each and every room in addition to the personal effects that reside in them. Same goes with the soundtrack, which channeled bouts of an invisible orchestra in your own little concert hall, propelling more than half of the game’s deeply mesmeric and satisfying mood! The remainder owed to the rustling together of ordinary yet crucial sound effects like the incessant pitter-pattering on hard surfaces, splish-splashing in the puddles, and your past moments in the rain making noise in your mind~

  :) TSUYU THINK IT’S A BAD SEASON!?

  I like that the story worked multiple angles in that it could be interpreted as (1) a bystander’s short peering into a boy’s life with his family once his plans are thrown out the window! (2) A personal role-play with people referred to only by their titles “mum”, “brother”, “neighbor”, and etc because who hasn’t had their day invaded by the pesky rain!? (3) A journey back to your childhood and the possibly zany things you did out of boredom… With that nostalgic effect further compounding if you were born into an Asian (or better yet Japanese) household or have ever spent any time in Japan during its annual June-July rainy period. However, with rain being such a universal element, it’s bound to land on a strong emotion or two! I also loved how it disguises itself as a story about nothing, or more like “doing nothing” when really it packs so much hope and meaning~

  :) TWIRL DOESN’T STOP BECAUSE OF A LITTLE WETNESS…

  The game’s message is simple enough, and it hits like a flood- in life, a little rain must fall… So the itinerary of activities you had painstakingly set aside for that one day, and were looking real forward to didn’t pan out after all. Is your life ruined? Perhaps! But is it over? Not by a long shot! Even if time is a silent fun killer here with looming external shots of the house accentuating its stillness and dullness. As this game guides you, there are a plethora of things to do in the confines of your own home; things you wouldn’t have appreciated, let alone given the time of day otherwise! It teaches and reminds you to make lemon out of lemonades, that your sticky situation is what you decide NOT to do with it! Improvise and you just might garner even more enjoyment and meaning than what you had originally envisioned. One of the first few Western songs that came in mind as I was playing with the water was “Singin’ in The Rain” which as we all know is all about and for overcoming adversity, employing “rain” as a clever metaphor for life’s hurdles! Then, funnily enough, the more upbeat “Umbrella” creeped in too and I was itching to do a dance number with the eponymous object. But yeah, I liked the resounding hopefulness behind the game, and the ending cemented that sentiment. I kind of wished there was a save feature, but that would go against what the game is trying to convey- you must get through the rain in order to view the rainbow… if it ever even arrives~ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2959142939

  <-> CONS;

  :( SOAKS TO BE YOU RIGHT ABOUT NOW!

  The physics of some objects and item grabbing was janky in some parts, but I will just continue skipping in the rain~

  BUGS:

  x None, and DOWNPOUR get that ;)

  NITPICKS:

  ~ A couple of misspellings, but then again, I was too absorbed to care! ~ Slightly too long delay in between certain sentences of dialogue. Doesn’t bother me! ~ I could see my headless body at times- okay, that freaked me out!! But you can’t tell I’m crying cause of the rain droplets.

  "THE RAIN NOTHING QUITE LIKE IT~"

  https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2959143271 Last Words? Drops an all too familiar, usually blue topic on you, but puts a heavily breathtaking & sunny spin on it. Romanticizing even fantasizing the hail out of it- and I very much don’t yearn for it to pass~

  Short and beautiful, a day in the life of a sorta bratty kid yields some sentimental moments and charming surprises. It definitely made me miss spending time at my grandparents homes as a kid.

  I have been following the development of this game for a while, and I'm so glad that I did. Although this game is short. During the time that you spend playing, you are sucked in fully. I loved how daydreams were used as a sort of collectable and it felt very fitting to the player character. I think that the most important achievement, which is what most drew me to this game, is how it manages to be an experience rather than what would be classically thought of as a game. You come out of playing it, relaxed and calm. I hope that this game bring peoples attention to the value of this genre, as it is one which i feel is not explored nearly enough and has possible tangible benefits to people in the real world. In summery: I love this game because it is relaxing, atmospheric and charming. But I recommend it because it took a step in showing gamers another way to look at games.

  In short: 4 dollars, 44 minutes, giving you the childhood feeling that you either have or never have experienced before. The whole game can be classified as a "walk simulator"; basically players will be exploring the scene to understand what the theme of the game is about. "Rainy season" is a simulator for a childhood experience (at least from my opinion) From a perspective of an Asian, I found the scene (both character and environment) well-constructed: old people tend to have ton of useless stuffs around the house, checks. Having junk foods for lunch as a special occasion, checks. Adults (ESPECIALLY OLD PEOPLE) intend to go along with whatever kids bring up, checks. Have nothing to do when video games/toys are not around, checks. The "vibe" is hella strong to a point that I will say "boi this is what my childhood looks like". There's not many of things to talk about. The game is short, the map is small, it costs 4 dollars. However, the sound/audio design is fantastic. The scene is simple but detail enough to be interesting. I can call this game an audio+visual ASMR experience if I really want to XD. After all, do I recommend this game? Well, lets just say that the good old time will never be back, but somehow this game will remind you a bit of it :D.
