Heavy Rain offers a demo on PC

We told you in a previous article that Quantic Dreams had announced at the GDC the release of three of its emblematic games on PC. As a reminder, those were Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human. At the time of the announcement no specific release date had been revealed, it was only known that the three games would launch as a temporary exclusive on Epic Game Store in the course of the year 2019. The information has been clarified since then and now we know that Heavy Rain will be released on June 24, Beyond: Two Souls on July 22, and Detroit: Become Human should arrive in the fall of 2019. It was also announced that each of the three narrative games will have a demo about a month before their respective releases.

Today, a demo of Heavy Rain is to be available at 5 pm on the store of Epic Games. The demo of forty minutes will allow you to discover the first two chapters of the story. The PS4 version has already benefited from some graphics enhancements and the PC version should offer graphics in 4K and 60fps. Originally released in 2010 exclusively on PS3, then in 2016 on PS4, Heavy Rain is a narrative-based game, often referred to as an interactive film. Heavy Rain is like a thriller, in which you will play four different characters by turns to solve a sordid affair. A serial killer terrorizes the east coast of the United States while the investigation leads nowhere. Nicknamed the "Killer of origamis", because of its mode of operation, the murderer kidnaps its victims who are young boys, and then he drowns them in rainwater and then abandons them leaving an orchid and an origami. The four protagonists will have to do everything they can to stop the killer as soon as possible, facing choices that can have serious consequences. Your choices are crucial in Heavy Rain since they will directly influence the next events. Seven alternative ends are also available, depending on your actions throughout the game.

Heavy Rain is already available on PS3, and PS4. It will be released on June 24 on PC through Epic Games Store.
