Topic: Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE

Has anyone seen an in-depth preview of this anywhere?

I'm very much interested by the premise of the game and what's been revealed so far, but the only new information I can see anywhere is just some short voice actor clips on Youtube.

@VoodooTrumpet I think this thread is a duplicate, but no one has posted in the old one for ages. https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/nintendo-switch/rain_code...

I'm now ten hours into the game. Feelings are mixed.

First the bad. The gameplay...is boring. Look for points of interest in order to gain some xp. Side quests that are fetch-quests. The mystery phantoms? The answer to the battle questions are vague and non-descript, they boil down to plain old trial-and-error. And lastly, pink blood. I guess the publisher wanted to appeal to the widest audience possible, even though this is an M-rated game? Sure this game is about murder mysteries, but all the victims look as though they were slimed, not killed.

Meh, whatever.

So how about the good? The game gets high marks for style. I love the world and the over-use of neon. This world feels like a Danganronpa-flavored Blade Runner. Very cool.

High marks for characters and voice work. Everyone is unique and memorable in their own way. Each have their individualized quirks and mannerisms, their own sense of self. And the excellent voice work conveys all of that very well.

High marks for audio design. Jazzy cyberpunk is the vibe. It feels right. And as an aside, Shinigami (when in her humanoid form) is best girl. Damn, son. She's worth putting up with the lame QTE segments.

@Magician
I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Pink blood is a staple of the danganronpa series so it’s not so surprising. I completed it a while back and am letting a friend borrow it.
