The thriller Heavy Rain is keenly awaited in many quarters which explains the eagerness with which people are lapping up the mystery tie in game that is based on it. The creator of Heavy Rain is Quantic Dream and it was quite an unexpected bonanza to be able to check out the demo of this new game. And to have this a week before the actual release of the game is like cherry on the cake.

The start of the game based on Heavy Rain was with a scrambled word puzzle which in turn led to a Twitter account. Once you logged in here, you faced another challenge that was based on YouTube. There you had to engage a woman on the phone, after she had called 911, till such times as the police tuned up on the scene of the crime. Success on this would lead to the last puzzle that consisted of four clues or pieces of evidence that had to be pieced together so as to give some headway to the investigation. If you succeeded, you got a congratulatory message online and a voucher code that would allow a free download of the game. This is indeed quite a bonanza for someone who has been just waiting to get his hands on Heavy Rain for quite some time.
