"HEAVY RAIN—Where there is a clash with the heart" is a game with very many steps for each action of the main character.The impersonation is done by continuously performing the "daily actions" to greatly increase the suspense and feeling of involvement. The graphics and sound are convincing and the scenario continues to advance even if one of the main characters dies. It presents the story from a new perspective compared to novels, movies, manga, and dramas as well as to other games. For this reason, the judges almost unanimously selected this title for the Game Designers Award.
