Lampooned by some upon its release, the budget survival horror title from the minds of director Hidetaka 'Swery' Suehiro and co-writer Kenji Goda nonetheless managed to win over many players.

David is thankfully skilled with the weapons. As you investigate the case, you’ll learn that there’s something not exactly human behind it all. In addition to walking, you also have access to a car. You’re free to move through the town as you see fit. The game takes place in a eight kilometer squared sandbox world that features weather and time-based changes. Taking control of David (and his split-personality character Jeter), you find yourself placed in a recreation of a classic American west town, right down to stoplights and paved roads. Only problem is, Jeter is a person who exists only in David’s mind… He’s not alone, though, as three peacekeepers from the town support David as he attempts to solve the case. Has the legendary Raincoat Killer returned? To investigate, the FBI has sent agent David Young Henning to the town to investigate. A horror title by Marvelous Entertainment, this game begins when the body of a young girl named Anna Graham is found one particularly rainy morning in the woods outside the town of Rainy Woods.
