Rainswept - Walkthrough overviewUpdate notes

Rainswept is a pretty simple point-and-click murder mystery game. The game takes around four hours to complete; however, completing the achievement list will only take between one to two hours. Please note that this game covers some pretty serious subject matters, with the primary one being suicide. The game isn't incredibly graphic, but there is some light gore. If either of the aforementioned bothers you, Rainswept may not be the game for you.

Rainswept - General hints and tips

The controls are pretty rudimentary.

cn_A to interact and use.

cn_X to talk.

cn_B to look.

cn_Y to use inventory and show all interactive areas.

cn_RT to run. Using cn_RT will significantly cut down on the length of play, as the walking speed is painfully slow.

cn_LB/cn_RB will cycle through available interactive areas.



That's pretty much the gist of it. Now, on to the story.

Rainswept - Story walkthrough

Just in case you skipped over the Tips sections, use cn_RT to run and cn_Y to show all the interactive areas (the magnifying glass icon). When using an interactive area, there are four possible options, Look cn_B, Use cn_A, Talk cn_X, or Inventory cn_Y.

From here on out, when I say Look, that means to interact with a magnifying glass, then press cn_B. Use means to interact and then cn_A, etc.

So let's begin!

After the cutscene is finished and we get out of the car, the first achievement will pop simply for turning up. Nice and easy.

Welcome to Pineview

Arrive at Pineview

Welcome to Pineview

Look at the cop car in front of you.

Look at the open window.

Look at the police officer kneeling next to the grass.

Move across to the right and dialogue will start automatically. Press cn_A to go through all the talking.

Move left to the door. Use, then select, "1. Go In."

There is an achievement to interact with everything in this room, but first, move to the left to Talk to the Sheriff. Cycle through all the dialogue; ask all four questions and then end questions.

More dialogue and then select "2. (remain silent)" twice.

More dialogue and then select "1. Okay."

Once the talking is done, you’re free to look around the room.

Walk to the far left and Look at Diane’s body.

Move to the right a little and Look at the kitchen cupboard signed Chris ’96.

Move a little to the right and Look at the gun on the floor. Then select "1. Open Barrel."
