Heavy Rain

Games can do many things, but few make us question our every choice. That's what Heavy Rain did. Deemed "interactive drama" by its developer, Quantic Dream, Heavy Rain put us in the shoes of four people who were all tied up in a kidnapping. The Origami Killer was making moves, and players had to react. Would they maim themselves to save the boy? Kill a stranger? These choices had to be made on the spot with a motion-based control scheme, and no matter the outcome, the game rolled on. You could solve the case or die without ever getting a clue, and you'd still get one of the 20 endings.
