A surprising adventure and horror vibe place Rain among Sony’s artistic best (review)

Sony is building an artistic platform out of its PlayStation Network. Games like Journey, The Unfinished Swan, and Papo & Yo from the past two years have all explored different methods of storytelling: without words, through color, and inside a child’s imagination.

Rain, out today on PSN from developer PlayStation C.A.M.P., is another shining addition to these ranks, telling a story of loneliness and hope through an equally experimental design.
