About

Rain98 is a lo-fi psycho-thriller romance adventure set in ’90s Tokyo.

In a chill but dark apartment room, you’re joined by Reina Amehara (voiced by Rio Tsuchiya), a girl with a mysterious and somewhat dangerous charm to her.

Together, you decide you have to perform a strange ritual… to save the world from destruction.

There’s a charming girl by your side… but she can be a pain. Spend your hard-earned money to keep Reina fed and happy. Especially happy. Under no circumstances is she to be made upset. That would lead to terrible, terrible things happening.

Your days with her will be sweet, bitter, somewhat scary, and always strange.
