Should you play it?

Rain of Reflections is an atmospheric, dystopian adventure game with exploration and deep character interactions. Its turn-based strategic confrontations are uniquely centered around a motivation mechanic.

What works
  • Innovative mix of adventure, tactical stealth combat, and hacking puzzles
  • Immersive cyberpunk dystopian atmosphere with excellent music and visuals
  • Branching dialogue choices affecting story and encounters
  • Unique motivation-based combat system encouraging non-lethal tactics
  • Well-voiced characters and polished presentation
Things to keep in mind
  • Very short playtime (~3-4 hours) with only first chapter released
  • Lack of save system and inability to skip cutscenes
  • Some clunky controls and stiff animations
  • Story ends on cliffhanger with uncertain future chapters
  • Limited character development and exploration depth

How to use the graph
Similarity map

Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the same motivation profile as in the “Why this game works” section below. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.

  • Purple star: this page’s game — everything on the map is relative to it.
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.
  • Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
  • Hover a dot for a screenshot preview, score, and top score gaps; click to compare in the panel on the right.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).

Rain of Reflections: Set Free: A very typical example of its motivational profile. Motivations that often define this kind of title include Expression, Fellowship, Cooperation, Competition. Here, the score leans higher than usual among comparable games on Cooperation. It leans lower than usual among comparable games on Continuation, Violence.
