Description
Rainswept is an adventure game - A murder mystery dealing with themes of love, relationships and unresolved trauma.
Detective Michael Stone enters the small town of Pineview to assist the local police force with a seemingly simple case - A couple is found dead in their kitchen. The locals believe it to be a case of murder-suicide, their speculation fueled by rumors of the turbulent nature of the couple's relationship.
Is it just idle gossip, or is there some truth to the rumors?
Play as Detective Stone, assisted by the driven and empathetic Officer Amy Blunt, as he attempts to discover the truth behind Chris and Diane's story by talking to the locals, exploring and investigating the town, interviewing suspects and reliving the victims' memories. But be warned: the further he pursues the case, the more his own past shall come back to haunt him. And the closer his own sanity will be pushed to the edge.
Rainswept was developed by Frostwood Interactive, a studio found by Armaan Sandhu. The soundtrack is being composed by Micamic, the composer behind Harvester Games' excellent 2012 indie title "The Cat Lady"

About Frostwood Interactive
A one-man studio run by Armaan Sandhu, the studio was created in 2017 for the development of Rainswept. I’ve always been a big fan of single player games that focus on storytelling, characters, and atmosphere and the goal here is to create works with those aspects in mind and hopefully emotionally move, affect and influence people.
