Like Indigo Prophecy, rather than being in a pre-defined genre, Heavy Rain is a unique adventure, one in which story is controlled with your actions. Cage, the writer and director of the game, describes it as an emotional experience with mature themes in which action and narration work closely together. You are the actor,writer and the director. The goal is to have you genuinely care about what happens to the characters by immersing you with a technique called bending stories. Although storytelling is linear, interactivity isn't. The way the story is told will change, with invisible boundaries so that you feel that everything is in your control.
Heavy Rain will be about normal people in real life, and much more emotionally involving, as gamers will easily relate to the situations and characters. In Heavy Rain, you won't be a superhero or a gangster. You'll just be someone real. Devs spent a lot of time and energy in developing a solid engine, graphics tools, and pipelines. They want to improve the experience at all levels, with more interactivity, new gameplay mechanics and interfaces, high-quality sets and virtual actors, a new technology of facial motion capture, better animations and many other surprises.
There are 60 scenes in Heavy Rain, and each one will have different gameplay and narrative. The overall theme will be dark, given that it's a thriller. According to Cage the game will be full of twists and turns and will include many surprises. In this new genre, it's not about your reaction and how you move the controller, but about what decisions you make as a player to make the story unfold. The experience will be different each time.
