Strange Rain: A Review

Strange Rain is an innovative and captivating app that transforms your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch into a virtual skylight on a rainy day. As raindrops fall and splatter on your screen, your perspective shifts with every tilt of the device. The interactive experience allows you to touch the screen and guide the path of the raindrops, creating a mesmerizing and immersive atmosphere. It's like holding a living window in the palm of your hands.

While initially soothing and relaxing, the more you interact with Strange Rain, the more peculiar and enigmatic it becomes. Layered skies, visual anomalies, changes in speed and color, and even unexpected cataclysms add to the intrigue. The app effectively blurs the line between what's familiar and what's strange.

With three play modes to choose from, Strange Rain offers versatility for users' preferences. In "wordless" mode, you can simply enjoy the sights and sounds of the falling rain, immersing yourself in its serene ambience. In "whispers" mode, some raindrops transform into words as they descend, inspired by the qualities of rain.

The most captivating mode is undoubtedly "story" mode. Each touch on the screen triggers a thought as text appears, unveiling the story of a man in the midst of a family crisis who seeks solace in the rain to gather his thoughts. As his world veers from familiar to strange, your interaction plays a role in his decision to come in from the rain.

A key aspect of Strange Rain is its interactive music that responds directly to your touch. Composers Chris Schlarb and Michael Gordon Shapiro have contributed two additional scores, accessible as free downloads within the app. The integration of music enhances the immersive experience and allows for a truly unique combination of touchscreen play and interactive storytelling.

The app also boasts notable features such as support for Game Center achievements, compatibility with the Retina Display, and the inclusion of a sleep/meditation timer. You can even listen to music from your iPod while playing or enjoy the calming rain sounds while using other apps.

Strange Rain offers a comprehensive user experience with real-time hints and tutorials available to maximize your enjoyment. Whether you're seeking a peaceful moment or a thought-provoking adventure, this universal app for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch is sure to captivate you.
