Overview
The Raintime is a free-to-play indie adventure game developed and published by socah development. It plunges players into the mind of William, a seemingly ordinary college student whose life takes a surreal turn. What begins as a typical narrative of youthful ennui—skipping lectures, socializing with friends, and harboring a crush on Jasmine from the theater committee—soon devolves into a profound existential crisis.
William starts experiencing a mysterious restlessness, withdrawing from his peers and grappling with unsettling thoughts. He gradually comes to a disturbing realization: his entire world, from the city and university to the artificial island he inhabits, is nothing more than an elaborate illusion.
This fabricated reality, he believes, is an unnatural abomination that must be dismantled to restore the true course of history.
