On your own, Heavy Rain is not a gripping game - it's a depressing slog of a story that telegraphs its twists in an unremarkably obvious way with a control scheme that is downright frustrating at the best of times.
In a party setting though? Like the slasher movie, this game takes on a whole life of its own. Assigning a person to a character for the entire playthrough in one sitting is an experience I'll never forget, and with a healthy dose of alcohol and snacks this game become so much more entertaining than the developers intended.
I will take the revelation of discovering I had been the killer all along and rolling with it to try and kill my friends in the finale to my final days.
