Heavy Rain is the Spiritual Successor to Quantic Dream's Fahrenheit (a.k.a. Indigo Prophecy), an Adventure Game for the seventh generation of consoles. Heavy Rain itself was a PlayStation exclusive, and has been described by the creators as an Interactive Movie as well as a standard adventure game. In fact, doesn't that image look like a movie poster?Ethan Mars is a depressed architect whose life fell apart after the tragic loss of his child Jason two years prior, for which he blames himself. He is jolted out of his stupor when his remaining son, Shaun, is suddenly kidnapped by the "Origami Killer," a notorious serial killer who uses rising rainwater to drown his young victims, then leaves origami figures on the bodies. If Ethan wishes to save his son from a similar fate, he must complete the trials set by the Origami Killer, who wishes to test just how far Ethan will go to save his child.The story also focuses on three other characters: Madison Paige, an insomniac journalist who becomes involved with Ethan's desperate search; Norman Jayden, an FBI profiler called in to consult on the Origami Killer case; and Scott Shelby, a private eye conducting an independent investigation.The game focuses on choices and consequences, with actions taking place via a series of Quick Time Events a la Fahrenheit. The developers stated prior to the game's release that almost all situations would have later consequences on the plot and that they are determined to let players follow through on their actions — to the point that unless all four main characters die, the story will still continue with whoever is alive. The major themes of the game are love and the idea of what is good and what is evil (in regard to the Tag Line on the poster to the right). According to the developers, they hoped to have players aim for a balance of the two rather than one extreme or another.Despite the developers' meager sales expectations (200,000 copies), Heavy Rain sold like hotcakes, surpassing a whopping 2 million by 2011. One downloadable chapter, The Taxidermist, has been released. Others are planned but on indefinite hold.Similar to how Heavy Rain started off with a tech demo, The Casting, Quantic Dream released a new tech demo KARA on March 7, 2012, hinting at their 2015 reveal of Detroit: Become Human. Go watch it. At E3 2012, the spiritual successor to Heavy Rain was revealed as the supernatural drama Beyond: Two Souls. Both games have received an Updated Re-release for the PlayStation 4, although this port does not include the DLC chapter The Taxidermist.In March 2019, it was announced that the game would be coming to PC later that year, exclusively via the Epic Games Store for the first 12 months. Quantic Dream is self-publishing this port. Like the PlayStation 4 release, the PC port does not include The Taxidermist.New Line Cinema and Quantic Dream have obtained rights for a movie adaptation, but nothing has been heard of it since early 2011.Not related to the Hard Rain campaign in Left 4 Dead 2. Also not to be confused with Hard Rain. And certainly not Chubby Rain.Be warned: Since Heavy Rain is incredibly plot heavy, expect MAJOR marked and unmarked spoilers below. | |

Dirty Coward: If you don't do the trials. Best example, you can refuse to do the Lizard Trial, and use your two hands to help you and Madison escape, but you end up being shot in the arm instead. The game even calls Ethan (and by extension, the player) out on it with the door leading to freedom in the Butterfly trial being labeled "Coward", should you choose not to do the trial. | |

Norman can be stabbed in the groin with a katana by the Origami Killer if most of the inputs are missed. He can put the killer on the receiving end of this by kneeing him in the groin during their second fight, but the latter shrugs it off. | |

Earn Your Bad Ending | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_132e865c | comment |
Earn Your Bad Ending: Most of the bad endings aren't too difficult to obtain, but "Perfect Crime", the ending where the Origami Killer gets away with everything, requires taking very specific actions across 12 of the game's chapters, including killing five major characters (most of them playable), and erasing all evidence of the Origami Killer's crimes. This is made even more complicated because the Origami Killer himself is one of the playable characters, and the actions Scott needs to take to clear his name are quite specific. The Returning to the Scene sequence in "Manfred" is particularly frustrating, as it needs to be done under a strict time limit. | |

Mystery Magnet: On the hunt for the Origami Killer, Madison runs into a homicidal taxidermist, a crazy Doctor Death, and a sleezy nightclub owner and would-be rapist. In addition, depending on the choices the player makes, she might encounter the Origami Killer directly, and be confronted by an unseen stalker at a book signing who proclaims she deserves a 'worthy adversary' to fight. | |

All There in the Manual: The ages of Jayden (28) and Lauren (25) are only stated in an early character bio and in the Japanese game manual respectively, and are unmentioned in the game itself. The Cutting Room Floor video released by PlayStation explains Madison's backstory as a war correspondent, as well as the Aborted Arc surrounding Ethan's blackouts. The game files reveal that the "Origami Blues" and "Smoking Mirror" endings take place in the same motel, and that it is called the Saranas Motel. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Every single chapter you play as Scott Shelby before The Reveal. Not only is he not really a private eye, but he was the Origami Killer the entire time. The only reason he had for investigating the case was to gather any evidence he had left so he could dispose of it. This extends to his thought bubbles, which aren't merely misleading but actively lying to you, the player, which is something of a narrative cheat regarding the plot twist. | |

"The End of Anguish" — Madison calls Sam and hides while he sends the police to the house. The police eventually arrive and save her and Leland is arrested. "In the Middle of the Horror" — Madison escapes unseen and unharmed; as a result, she gets her scoop and Leland is arrested. "The End of a Nightmare" — Madison is discovered by Leland, but barely escapes with her life, possibly killing him in the process. | |

Crapsack World: The game's setting ends up fitting the bill if you choose the more tragic endings. One particular outcome includes Ethan and Scott being killed (the former just after rescuing Shawn), while Madison goes insane. It says something when Norman Jayden's bittersweet "Resignation" ending is the happiest of the four. This isn't the worst combination you can get, either. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: The golden watch Jayden finds on the secretary's desk near the beginning of the game. Talking to her reveals that the station traditionally awards cops with this brand and type when they are promoted to lieutenant. That becomes a vital piece of the puzzle to figuring out the identity of the Origami Killer when Norman is later attacked by a man wearing that same kind of watch. This can also throw you off track, making you think that Blake is the killer because he has the same type of watch. When Norman investigates Mad Jack, before getting out of his car, he leaves a gun in the glovebox. Guess what you need to do when Mad Jack decides to use the machinery to lift Norman's car into a compactor — with Norman handcuffed inside. If Ethan didn’t do all of the trials and doesn’t know the address where Shaun is being held, provided he completed at least three trials he can listen to the videos he was sent by the killer; doing this gives him the realization that Shaun is at the location nearest to the river. As Ann Sheppard reveals to Madison, her son John liked to make origami dogs and call them “Max.â€� Guess what the password to his twin brother’s computer is. Also, in a more traditional sense, the katana in Paco's office. Appears as a background object during Madison's level and is used by the Origami Killer against Norman on his level. | |

Good Guns, Bad Guns | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_25afd4a3 | comment |
Good Guns, Bad Guns: Played around with a lot throughout the game. Almost all of the characters that have guns in this game have handguns, with the sole exception of the drug lord that Ethan has to kill in his fourth trial, who uses a shotgun. Subverting the trope is actually what ends up helping Norman figure out who the Origami Killer is, if you get all of the clues with ARI. | |

Apathetic Citizens | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_25dc6ef5 | comment |
Apathetic Citizens: The citizens in the game don't seem to care what happens around them unless it impacts them personally. After Ethan and Jason get hit by a car, everyone at the mall comes out to see what's going on, but no one calls for help. They just stare and watch as Grace breaks down. When Ethan is having a breakdown at the terminal due to his agoraphobia kicking in, everyone just walks around him, and no one asks him if he is alright. When Madison escapes from an apartment fire set by Scott Shelby, several people gather to see what happened. Despite Madison coming out limping, coughing and covered in soot, not a single person stops to ask her about the fire or if she's okay. During the scene where Madison and Ethan flee from the cops and escape into the underground subway station, they cross the tracks as a train is approaching. Everyone else at the station just ignores them, with only a few complaining when the two bump into them on the escalators. Averted for once in "Covered Market," when Norman is chasing a suspect into a supermarket. The bystanders complain and yell at the two of them for getting in the way. | |

Shoot the Dog: One of Ethan's trials involves killing somebody. The guy turns out to be a drug dealer, which might sap him of sympathy, but when Ethan finally gets the chance to shoot him, he's on the floor begging not to be killed, especially in his young daughter's bedroom. It's up to the player to go through with it. | |

Disappeared Dad | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_28cd01ca | comment |
Disappeared Dad: As Shelby goes around visiting the families of the victims of the Origami Killer, the husbands of both Lauren Winters and Mrs. Susan Bowles have disappeared soon after their sons did. As much as this would seem as a standard case of Disappeared Dad, you find out later that one father actually went out as Ethan Mars did to complete the trials to save his own son, but ended up dying in the power plant in the Butterfly chapter. This is similarly implied for the rest of the fathers... except for Reza's father, the shopkeeper. He didn't dare open the box. Or he did, but didn't realize he was supposed to unfold the origami.

| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_2c1f1138 | comment |
He Who Fights Monsters: Jayden is always at odds with Blake on his stance on crime fighting, so it's kinda jarring when he threatens Mad Jack with getting away with murder. Of course, Alternative Character Interpretation is in play here, as Jayden won't object to Blake's methods too much unless you make him. It's also likely he's bluffing to psyche Mad Jack out. (The fact that the QTE leading to this line is labeled "IMPRESS" suggests that this is the case.) | |

Missing Child: The Origami Killer kidnaps young boys, traps them in a pit that slowly fills with rainwater, and forces their fathers to complete a series of extremely dangerous trials in exchange for the chance to save their son before he drowns. Some of the fathers are never seen again. Ethan Mars' son Shaun is kidnapped shortly into the game, forcing Ethan to undertake the trials himself. And he can fail them; there's a Bad Ending where Shaun is never rescued. | |

Father's Quest: Invoked by the Origami Killer. He kidnaps young boys and sends their fathers on dangerous missions to find them before they drown. Several of the fathers died trying to pass the trials, and one didn't understand the message and didn't go on his quest. One of the playable characters is Ethan Mars, father to the latest victim of the Origami Killer. The killer's main motivation is to find a father that truly loves their son and would go through hell to save them. This was because his own father was a useless drunk that wouldn't lift a finger to save his brother that was trapped in a drain pipe and drowned. | |

Wrongful Accusation Insurance: Ethan and Madison commit multiple felonies over the course of the adventure to save Shaun / catch the Origami Killer, including several acts of breaking and entering, multiple assaults, and one premeditated first degree murder (if you choose to carry it out). It seems that a city that would tolerate a cop as obviously psychotic and unhinged as Lt. Blake has a soft spot for vigilante action. | |

Split Personality: Subverted. Ethan is suggested to have one, and certainly has a disturbing set of symptoms and an equally-concerned shrink. It turns out, however, that his other self is not the Origami Killer. These elements were originally part of a sub-plot where Shelby's presence at Ethan's accident led to an unexplained psychic link between the two; this link meant that Ethan would travel to the place where Shelby's brother died and unconsciously fold paper cranes at the same time Shelby did after he took a victim. This plot was dropped when it decided the supernatural element was unneeded. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Ethan decides to do the Origami Killer's exciting, deadly trials to track down his son instead of simply bringing the origami figures to the police; though to be fair, he does have a point in that he doesn't have much information to give them besides the figures themselves. Norman uses his psychology degree to slowly whittle down suspects, until he finally tracks down the killer's car after the former plan falls through. Madison...simply does her research and has an informant track down information on who was renting out the buildings for the Lizard trial, which anyone could easily see was deliberately set up for the sole purpose of housing said trial. Turns out that following the paper trail actually tends to be quick and efficient; accounting for the fact she starts chasing the killer well over halfway into the game, Madison very quickly catches up with everyone else trying to find out who the Origami Killer is despite not being a trained policeman like Norman or being fed clues by the Killer like Ethan. | |

Character Development: Besides what players may do to characters, Lauren goes through this when she starts helping Scott and goes full retroactive Mama Bear. Jayden goes through TWO: One depending on if he shoots Nathaniel, where afterwards he becomes more withdrawn and angry. The second happens without any player input throughout the story, where Norman will come out of his social awkwardness and become more assertive to Blake and the Captain and aggressive to uncooperative suspects. | |

Motion Capture: All major character's performances are fully mocap, including the face and the eyes, just like in Avatar. And for that, the Heavy Rain team deserves props: it took half a year to get all the motion capture for this game filmed. There's an unlockable extra about it, too. | |

Through the Eyes of Madness | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_5d5cc3fd | comment |
Through the Eyes of Madness: Every single player character experiences this. Ethan is suffering disassociative blackouts and hallucinations about the killings. Norman is suffering severe hallucinations caused by drugs, withdrawal (and/or possibly virtual reality use). Madison is having night terrors or hallucinations about being attacked by killers in her apartment. Shelby would seem to be the most normal character, except that he's a deranged, obsessed serial killer and the entire storyline you're playing him through is him covering up the evidence of his crimes in the guise of a private investigator. | |

Alternative Character Interpretation | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_5e7163c9 | comment |
Of course, Alternative Character Interpretation is in play here, as Jayden won't object to Blake's methods too much unless you make him. It's also likely he's bluffing to psyche Mad Jack out. (The fact that the QTE leading to this line is labeled "IMPRESS" suggests that this is the case.) | |

Sequel Hook | |

Sequel Hook: One of Madison's endings has another killer saying to her "You deserve a better adversary. Somebody more... ferocious.". Given that the game's writer and director, David Cage, has stated a distaste for doing sequels of his games, it is highly unlikely this will ever be followed up on. | |

The Fire Drill is on the player as well. Also on his victims; he's a cop, they go to him even if he doesn't have a solid reasoning, because he's a cop. | |

Most Writers Are Adults: Instead of kids acting much older than they're supposed to, this game has the reverse. Every ten-year-old in existence should be insulted by how the kids in this game are portrayed. Chasing a balloon? Playing in traffic? However, Jason's behavior can be justified; he was originally meant to be much younger, and this is reflected in the writing. All of Shaun's inconsistencies, however, are explained with the Freudian Excuse of losing Jason and having his father put into a coma for a few months affecting his emotions. | |

Guide Dang It!: Among certain other trophies, getting the "Perfect Crime" ending requires you to kill off two of the four player characters and three of the NPCs (minimum). Good luck figuring out what exactly what sequence of events must be done to do so. Or you could just check out this guide. Almost none of the trophies are labeled in game, except those that you get for 100% completion and for seeing all the endings. | |

Idiot Ball: Ethan Mars never requests assistance from the police, his ex-wife, his Token Romance, and cannot even attempt to guess Shaun's location unless he's at least attempted all the trials. However, Ethan does make it a point to mention that he doesn't have a lot of information to give to the police; additionally, at least two of the trials were being recorded, and for all Ethan knows the killer could decide to count his attempts as failures if he received outside help. You would think that the fathers of the Origami Killer's victims disappearing after their sons are found dead would be a major part of the police investigation. But it's barely ever mentioned by the cops, and it never plays a role in their investigation. Norman Jayden can be killed on three separate occasions because he doesn't bring backup. Even assuming every single cop in Philadelphia hates him, the city also has a local FBI office which he never contacts once. The reveal that Shelby is the Origami Killer makes many of his previous actions nonsensical. When Lauren brings him her Origami Killer letter, Shelby tells her the truth: That it was typed on an old typewriter. Not only does this lead them to the next clue, Manfred's Clock Shop, but Shelby brings her along when he goes to murder Manfred and close that loose end. Moreover, Shelby not only has the same typewriter on his desk, he has two of them, as you find the one he actually used inside his secret room. | |

Creator's Culture Carryover | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_74a7d2d | comment |
Creator's Culture Carryover: The power outlets in buildings and some of the building architecture (particularly in Madison's apartment) are of distinctly European style instead of American. The supermarket chase that Norman gets involved in has, at one point, live chickens present, something that is not allowed in a real U.S. supermarket. There's some instances early in the game of characters referring to empty areas as "wasteland", when Americans would be calling these areas empty fields or vacant lots. A number of minor characters are voiced by French actors who don't even try American accents, which may raise an eyebrow for some American players. While the game is supposed to take place in the United States (Pennsylvania specifically), the license plates on all the cars are modeled after French license plates. The apartment complex that Lauren lives in has a receptionist at the lobby. While a receptionist at an apartment do exist in the United States, it's exceedingly rare to find one that's not stationed at a luxury or high scaled apartment and you wouldn't exactly see one in a run down complex that has shady characters living in it. | |

Bond Villain Stupidity | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_7570a10c | comment |
Bond Villain Stupidity: Shelby enters his apartment only to find Lauren helpless and have one of Kramer's goons put a gun right to his head. But rather than just blow his brains out, Kramer traps Shelby and Lauren in a car (with loose ropes the former can undo fairly easily), and pushes it into the lake. Shelby falls victim to this himself. If Madison is alive and encounters Shelby in his apartment he has her at gunpoint. Instead of shooting her he locks her in his secret chamber and sets his apartment on fire. | |

Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: Carter Blake has his moments of this. The most notable is when he breaks the door of the apartment of Nathaniel Williams, a suspect of being the Origami Killer, and Jayden tells him that's a crime. | |

Not Quite the Right Thing | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_7a19a69b | comment |
Not Quite the Right Thing: Each player character typically gets their best ending when you succeed as much as possible in their investigation. The exceptions are Scott, for reasons that are obvious once you finish the game, and Jayden, whose best ending actually involves all the heroes surviving but him not successfully completing his investigation (which results in him giving up the ARI system and retiring peacefully), unlike the ending in which he fully succeeds, in which case he's shown in the process of potentially succumbing to ARI hallucinations. | |

Shower Scene: The game starts with Ethan having one after he's gotten out of bed, then Madison gets one of her own in her first chapter. Jayden gets a brief one in “Jayden Blues� if Ethan doesn’t get arrested, but considering he does it with all of his clothes on and in an attempt to recover from some really bad withdrawal symptoms, it’s probably not as sexy as it sounds. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Nice move, Grace Mars, for giving Blake a hint that your ex-husband is the Origami Killer. Jayden accusing Blake of being the Origami Killer will get him to turn in his badge. If you think it's a good idea to not make him take Triptocaine, you might want to think again. As shown in "Case Closed", he'll have hallucinations from overexposure to the ARI. | |

Artistic License – Law: Shelby buys his asthma medicine off the shelf at a convenience store, right behind the chips and cheap enough that he can just buy one without presenting insurance information. In the USA, albuterol is a prescription-only medication that has to be acquired through a licensed pharmacy, and without insurance, a single rescue inhaler can cost up to $80. | |

The rain, obviously. It's even a plot point, as the Origami Killer's trap requires about 6 inches of uninterrupted rainfall to work, and that is more than the monthly average in all but two cities. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Several examples. Nathaniel, once he's taken into custody (or killed), he's never seen or heard from again, and only mentioned once in passing. Gordi Kramer effectively vanishes from the plot after he is introduced, and is not present when Scott shoots up his house while looking for his father. Ethan's ex-wife, Grace, is only in a scant few of the game's endings and most give no resolution to her. Lt. Blake is absent from all but two of the worst endings, and in one of them he's only mentioned in a news report. | |

No Communities Were Harmed: An interesting example: The city shown in the map is clearly Philadelphia, but no real world locations or landmarks are ever shown or mentioned in the game, and the name of the city is never said. Likewise, the street that the warehouse is on is not a real street in Philadelphia. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Should you fail the possible fight in "Hassan's Shop" the robber will shoot his gun at Shelby off-screen. We don't see Shelby afterwards but he doesn't scream in pain or reacts in any other way. The shopkeeper and the robber both look shocked with the latter running away in panic leading the audience to believe that Shelby was just killed by him. A few seconds later he stands up and reveals that the bullet just grazed his shoulder. | |

Refusal of the Call: During certain segments, it's entirely possible to refrain from helping. For example, while Lauren is somewhat of a Jerkass to Shelby, seeing a thug burst into apartment probably makes you feel compelled to go check on her; however, there's nothing stopping you from just ignoring it and leaving the building... | |

Rewatch Bonus | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_97926168 | comment |
A replay bonus, though you can notice it if you're really observant, is in the beginning credits. Several characters are shown which just seem to be random people in the rain, with no actual impact on the story, perhaps there to establish the mood of the game. You later realize they are anything but random: one is the graveyard keeper who tells Scott and Lauren the story of John Sheppard, one is John Sheppard's (and the Origami Killer's) mother, and the children are the Origami Killer's prior victims. It also shows many of the places significant to the story, like the overpass crossing over the lot where the last victim is found, the playground, and the scrapyard. | |

You later realize they are anything but random: one is the graveyard keeper who tells Scott and Lauren the story of John Sheppard, one is John Sheppard's (and the Origami Killer's) mother, and the children are the Origami Killer's prior victims. It also shows many of the places significant to the story, like the overpass crossing over the lot where the last victim is found, the playground, and the scrapyard. When playing as Jayden for the first time, one of his inner thoughts has him commenting about his hands trembling and hoping he can keep them under control this time. Most players would assume it's just Jayden's nerves acting up, but it subtly hints at his symptoms of his overuse of ARI. Also early in the game, you can find a DNA sample belonging to someone that mentions John Sheppard. Jayden dismisses it as "unrelated to the case". Scott Shelby has an old-fashioned typewriter in plain sight on top of his desk throughout the entire game, although it isn't the one actually used to type the Origami Killer letters. The mystery Sheppard brother has a band-aid on his right eyebrow, and Scott has a scar in exactly the same place. There's a reason why Scott's the only character on the front of the US box that has a weapon. Look at the score Norman has in the ARI mini-game when he plays it while waiting in the police station early on in the game. It's a hint that maybe the Tripto isn't what Norman's really addicted to. If Hassan is killed by the robber in the chapter Hassan's Shop when playing as Scott Shelby, Hassan will say that all he wanted to do was look into the eyes of his son's killer before he died. The camera angle changes, and players see Scott looking directly down at Hassan. Which is relevant, y'know, 'cause. Also in Hassan's Shop, you can use the dialogue option Shaun in which Scott tries to convince Hassan to help him by explaining that the Origami Killer has taken another child. However, this chapter takes place two hours after Ethan reported Shaun missing. It's highly improbable that Scott would know about the kidnapping since the press didn't know until the next day and the police weren't convinced it was the Origami Killer yet. When Blake is about to put handcuffs on Nathaniel, it looks like the latter is about to whip out a weapon but it turns out to be a cross. In the final chapter, should Madison be absent, Ethan steps out of the warehouse and reaches to his side in pain. Blake notices this, thinking he's reaching for a gun, and orders his men to open fire. | |

Made of Iron: Ethan. Depending on your actions, he can get into a car accident, break one or two ribs, tear up his arms on broken glass, collect a horrible electrical burn, cut off his own finger, and fall from a three-story building, and he'll still be going strong in the end. Jayden also qualifies. Besides regularly being beaten up during most of his fights, he can also survive a hit from a sledgehammer to his head, though only once. | |

Leitmotif | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_9f6fb586 | comment |
Leitmotif: Each playable character (and Lauren) has one. Jayden and Shelby each have an additional variation for their action scenes while Madison and Ethan share several for theirs. Ethan's motif, Painful Memories, is probably the most memorable one as it also serves as the game's main theme and sees the most use. It also doubles as a Lonely Piano Piece, tellingly. | |

Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: Other than Jayden, just about every cop in the game is either corrupt or worthless. However, they do display extreme levels of competence whenever it would mess things up for the main characters, like setting up a roadblock mere minutes after Ethan begins the first trial. This makes it an inversion of Be as Unhelpful as Possible. | |

Informed Flaw: Shelby's asthma. He uses his inhaler once, and at another moment avoids a smoker. That's the sole impact it has on his story line. Madison's insomnia. She's supposed to be exhausted after getting little to no sleep for what is implied to be an extended stretch of time, but it doesn't affect her at all. At one point, she even nods off in a chair, and has to force herself to stay awake to watch over Ethan while he sleeps. Naturally, while Ethan is scruffy and glassy-eyed and Jayden gets red-eyed and twitchy at various points, Madison shows precisely none of the physical effects of even short-term insomnia. She's even totally okay to drive a bike in the rain. | |

Tap on the Head | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_b1a7cd14 | comment |
Tap on the Head: Done to Madison by Dr. Baker when she tries to investigate his house. She takes a whack to the back of the head with a baseball bat, and when she wakes up not long after, she's completely conscious right off the bat (no pun intended) and struggling and screaming. If the player declines to have Ethan shoot the drug dealer, he will use the pistol to knock him out with a blow to the head instead. Apparently it doesn't occur to Ethan that this could also cause a fatal injury. That's optional, but this will happen in every game to Scott Shelby before being tied to his car and thrown in a lake. | |

Epic Fail | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: Some of the Quick Time Event sequences can result in the protagonists having some major failures, and some of them not even fatal. The best example is the Covered Market chase, where Jayden can fail throughout the entire sequence and stumble his way through, even outright smacking his face on a door closing in front of him instead of squeezing through it at the last second on a success. Of course, when a real fight starts, it's probably better to not fail. | |

Then after his dad calls out to him, he runs across a busy main street. The game also gives you many opportunities to make very stupid decisions. Like, for example, accepting a drink from a creepy criminal doctor who hits on you. John and Scott playing Hide And Seek in a construction site with No OSHA Compliance. | |

Fan Disservice: The striptease in Sexy Girl may be this more than Fanservice because Madison is being forced to remove her clothes. Ethan can be seen without his shirt in his hotel room in a few of his chapters, but it's possible for him to have several burns and lacerations on his chest. The sex scene between Ethan and Madison is seen as this because of how absurdly contrived the circumstances for it are and how blatantly crowbarred-in it is for the sake of pure fanservice. | |

Offscreen Teleportation: The game abuses this quite a bit. In a typical version of the warehouse scene, it will show the empty warehouse, you walk up to save Shaun, and the killer appears right behind you. Then, another character runs out of nowhere to save you. Also, Manfred's killing, done without Lauren noticing, even though she's in the adjacent room. Also, Norman's ghost, although that's one's justified by it being inside virtual reality. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The bartender that gives Jayden advice is practically identical, down to the outfit, to the bartender in The Shining. His existence as a living being is also just as ambiguous. Also, Shelby shares a name with a similarly conflicted protagonist. The Origami Killer's methods and trials are very similar to the Jigsaw Killer. Madison can hide in a refrigerator to save herself from an explosion, much like a certain archaeologist did to hide from a nuke. Another possible Indiana Jones reference occurs in the last chapter with a fight atop a conveyor belt that ends in a deadly grinder. Like in The Temple of Doom, the villain can die by reaching the end of the conveyor. Yet another: Norman's last (optional) fight with Mad Jack closely mirrors the fistfight between Indy and a large Nazi soldier near a plane in Raiders of the Lost Ark. The villain in both cases dominates the fight but is killed by being caught in an advancing lethal machine (a plane's propeller in Raiders and a backhoe's treads in this game). The subway entrance through which Madison and Ethan make their escape from the police is identical to the subway entrance used by Lucas Kane in the beginning of Quantic Dream's Fahrenheit. The apartment in some of the endings is very similar to Lucas's in the same game. In the opening credits, a store sign has a pawprint on it that says "Naughty Dog". Dr. Adrian Baker astonishingly resembles Dr. Heiter in both appearance and mannerism. One of the endings is named "Tears In The Rain". The killer's usage of Origami figures is also a nod to the film, where Origami figures serve as a Signature Item Clue. In the flashback with a young John Sheppard, before taking a leap while wandering around the construction site he clearly says "Yippie-ki-yay." The scene where Madison is forced to do a striptease at gunpoint plays out like a darker version of a similar scene from True Lies. If Jayden gets overpowered by Mad Jack the latter calls him "Mister Five-O" before knocking him out. In the German dub they changed it to "007". | |

Killed Off for Real: Any character that dies in the story doesn't simply cause the game to load a checkpoint, but instead continues on, and that includes the player characters. It's entirely possible to reach a Downer Ending where every major character relevant to the case kicks the bucket and the Big Bad walks away a Karma Houdini, though at that point you might be specifically searching for how to accomplish it. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: Scott can potentially be killed by Ethan after forcing him to undergo the trials. He can also be impaled by the same pole he tried to kill Madison with should the two confront. The mad "surgeon" if Madison kills him with the drill. In one possible scenario, Mad Jack tries to kill Norman by throwing his car into a crusher with a crane. If you play right, you can escape and fight Mad Jack in front of the still-running crane. If you win, his pants get caught in a tire tread, and he's run over. | |

Dramatic Ammo Depletion: During the fourth trial, the shark, Ethan has to break into a man's home to kill him. Said man turns out to be an armed drug dealer. After he refuses to leave, the drug dealer punches him, pulls out a shotgun, and tries to kill him with it. He chases Ethan around the apartment destroying many of his own valuables, and corners him into a bedroom. He lines up the shot and pulls the trigger, but nothing happens. | |

Gun Struggle: This can potentially happen in the final chapter between Ethan and Scott if only Ethan and Madison make it to the end. Regardless of if you win or lose the struggle, Ethan is shot. The game makes it look like the wound is fatal, but if Madison survives the ensuing chase scene, Ethan reappears to save her just in time. | |

Chemical Messiah | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_d854461 | comment |
Chemical Messiah: This is more of an individual thing, but Norman wears sunglasses that function as a reality warping device that assists him in investigations. The problem with this is that they seriously screw with his perception of reality and cause him to hallucinate. He gets dangerously addicted to this. To counteract this, he takes a fictional drug called Triptocaine, which functions similarly to cocaine and certain narcotics/pain meds. The Triptocaine causes him to get even more addicted and screwed out of his mind. He also suffers withdrawals from it, which have a slew of symptoms. The only ways to stop these are drinking or rinsing himself in cold water, waiting it out, or taking more Triptocaine. | |

Writers Cannot Do Math | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_da1c8191 | comment |
Writers Cannot Do Math: Behind the reception desk at the motel where Madison checks in, there is a calendar that inexplicably notes the date as Thursday Oct. 5th, 2012. First of all, the game takes place in Fall 2011, so the writers and art department weren't talking to each other, and second, Oct. 5th 2012 is a Friday. In 2011, it was a Wednesday. (The date would have at least existed if not for the fact that 2012 is a leap year, but it would still be the wrong year for the game's story.) Similarly, the stamp on the letter Ethan receives from the Origami Killer is dated October 4, 2012. When Madison signs into the hotel, her age is said to be 27, which matches a birthdate that comes up in the ARI database if Jayden finds her fingerprints and/or lipstick in Paco's office. Some supplementary materials alternatively give her age as 28. Scott Shelby has a similarly inconsistent age given. The asset disc and official website both state that he is 45 during the game's story, but within the game itself statements of his age vary: if you believe the birthdate on his tombstone he is 44, but variations of the ending news report claim he is 48. | |

Instant Mystery, Just Delete Scene | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_dda8f552 | comment |
Instant Mystery, Just Delete Scene: Shelby's killing of Manfred isn't shown to the player while the player is controlling him, only in a later flashback, likely because it would otherwise make the fact that he's the killer far too obvious. Ethan’s blackouts also count. The fact there is no explanation for them at all besides the removed supernatural plot serves to make Ethan look like a red herring to both the player and other characters, himself included, supposedly as a way to make the identity of the killer less obvious. | |

The Cake Is a Lie: Zig-Zagged.The Origami Killer puts Ethan through a series of brutal trials, all for the promise of saving his son if he can succeed. He actually gives all the required letters should Ethan succeed in his trials making Ethan able to locate Shaun. However, upon completion of all five trials, one ending has the killer preparing to shoot our protagonist in the back as he attempts to release his son from imprisonment. On the other hand, if Ethan arrives alone at the warehouse, the killer is genuinely impressed, releases Shaun without further ado and just moves on with his life, leaving Ethan alone. If he doesn't get shot by him, that is. | |

Empathic Environment: The rain, obviously. It's even a plot point, as the Origami Killer's trap requires about 6 inches of uninterrupted rainfall to work, and that is more than the monthly average in all but two cities. The virtual environments created by ARI are also this. In "Solving the Puzzle," where it is possible for Jayden to die from ARI overuse, as his eyes start bleeding in the real world, the peaceful forest of the simulation slowly becomes colder and windier until it's basically storming inside. By this point, it's not exactly clear whether anything Jayden sees is reality, virtual reality, or the contents of his own drug-addled mind. | |

Expy: The motives and methods of the Origami Killer are similar to those of Jigsaw, i.e. elaborate trials designed as tests of determination, morality, or sheer ability to withstand pain. Norman Jayden shares a lot of similarities with Fox Mulder. Both are FBI profilers and good, honest cops who are widely disliked by fellow cops. His unorthodox methods and detective abilities also bring Dale Cooper to mind. Fans of Silent Hill may compare Shelby to Douglas and Ethan to Harry Mason, right down to their outfits. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Shelby has a couple of examples. He foils a robbery early on. He rescues a mother who just attempted suicide. He wakes up just in time to save Lauren from his flooding car. If he chooses to. Jayden, if everything is done correctly, gets one when he swoops in just in time to stop Shelby from killing Ethan or Madison. Madison also gets one if she warns Ethan about the police outside the warehouse at the end. Ethan also has one if only he and Madison are at the warehouse; provided she survives the fight with Shelby for long enough, he shows up right as she's cornered and saves her. | |

Rube Goldberg Hates Your Guts: The method of killing little boys over a period of four days by keeping them in a sewer drain that slowly fills up with rain water certainly qualifies as elaborate, as does the trials he puts the victim's fathers through. | |

Rising Water, Rising Tension | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_f1029720 | comment |
Rising Water, Rising Tension: The villain kidnaps young boys and holds them inside a flood drain during the rain season, which slowly fills with water over several days. This means that when a new victim is kidnapped, the police and, particularly, the victim's father (who receives hints from the killer) have only limited time before the boy drowns, with the dramatic tension rising accordingly. | |

Dark Reprise | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_f3fd818b | comment |
Dark Reprise: While playing as Shelby he has his own action theme in all of his action scenes. When you play Madison and get chased by him in "The Old Warehouse" it's not Madison's but his Leitmotif that's playing, emphasizing it's all about Shelby coming for you. This is in stark contrast to the scenario of him and Jayden fighting which uses Jayden's action theme. | |

Hollywood Psych | |
| Heavy Rain (Video Game) / int_f6214be1 | comment |
Hollywood Psych: Ethan refers to his condition, suggested to be Dissociative Identity Disorder, as "schizophrenia" on at least two occasions. Schizophrenia and Dissociative Identity Disorder are separate conditions. Justified, however, as both conditions have a lot of overlapping symptoms, and DID sufferers tend to also have schizophrenia. The blackouts are also not related to a psychological condition. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished | |

Madison's insomnia. She's supposed to be exhausted after getting little to no sleep for what is implied to be an extended stretch of time, but it doesn't affect her at all. At one point, she even nods off in a chair, and has to force herself to stay awake to watch over Ethan while he sleeps. Naturally, while Ethan is scruffy and glassy-eyed and Jayden gets red-eyed and twitchy at various points, Madison shows precisely none of the physical effects of even short-term insomnia. She's even totally okay to drive a bike in the rain. | |
