Heavy Rain! Heavy Rain is an insanely awesome adventure/drama video game which my father described as "like watching a tv show without the commercials". I shall now attempt to describe the basic plot from the beginning, which will be extremely hard, as it really is as complicated as a tv show. A big selling point of the game was how the choices you make affect the ending. It starts out with a man who's name you don't know yet waking up in an extremely huge and awesome house. He gets up and looks at a note on the floor, which informs you that his name is Ethan and that his wife, Grace, went out to do some shopping for their son's birthday and will be back with the kids after lunch. Ethan takes a shower, gets dressed and goes downstairs. He then goes to work on a plan for a house, which, through inferring, should inform you that he is a successful architect. When he is finished, his wife and kids come home and he goes to play with the kids after helping his wife set the table. After you play with the kids, everyone comes in so they can eat before the older son, Jason's, friends show up for his party. When Ethan enters the kitchen, the younger son, Shaun, isn't there. Ethan goes upstairs and finds Shaun crying over his dead bird, and Ethan comforts him. It then cuts to a scene presumedly a few days later where the family is shopping in a mall with a lot of people. Grace and Shaun go inside a shoe store to buy Shaun some shoes, and Ethan and Jason go to buy a balloon from a clown near the escalators. While Ethan is paying, Jason wanders off and Grace comes back. Ethan goes after Jason and eventually finds him across a busy intersection. Jason starts running across the intersection while a car is coming. Ethan jumps in front of the car and grabs Jason, but Jason dies and Ethan gets knocked out and goes into a coma.
