About Strange Rain

* Note: Strange Rain is not currently compatible with iOS 10. An update is underway. *

What makes rain strange? When it's falling on your screen—from the inside.

/ Reached #1 on the Entertainment charts in the U.S., Canada, Italy, Germany and more! /

/ IGN.com Editors Choice / Featured on CNN.com and USAToday.com /

/ "A glimpse at novels of the future" —Fast Company's Co.Design /

/ "Think of it as a first-person thinker." —Paste Magazine /

/ "This gentle, compelling and beautiful artwork invokes a dreamy, poetic state..." —KCET /

Strange Rain turns your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch into a skylight on a rainy day. Raindrops fall and splatter on your screen, shifting perspective as you tilt your device. Touch the screen and guide the path of the raindrops, stepping through the notes of an eerie melody as you go. It’s a relaxing, intriguing experience that feels as if you’re holding a living window in your hands.

The more you touch, however, the more strange the rain becomes: layered skies, visual anomalies and shifts in speed and color, even the occasional cataclysm if you’re not careful. Before your eyes and beneath your fingers, the familiar becomes strange, and the strange, familiar.

Strange Rain has three play modes. In "wordless" mode, you can simply enjoy the sights and sounds of the falling rain. In "whispers" mode, touching the screen causes some raindrops to turn into words as they fall—words inspired by the qualities of rain.

In "story" mode, every touch triggers a thought as text on screen. These thoughts tell the story of a man in the midst of a family crisis who has wandered into the rain to collect his thoughts. His world, too, has gone from familiar to strange, even as his beliefs are following the opposite course. Your interaction helps determine when and how he decides to come in from the rain.

Strange Rain features interactive music that responds directly to your touch. In addition to the default music included with the original release, two additional scores by composers Chris Schlarb and Michael Gordon Shapiro can now be downloaded for free within the app.

A unique combination of touchscreen play and interactive storytelling, the living sky of Strange Rain awaits your touch.

For iOS 5 users only: unlimited, multi-lingual content has arrived!

Twitter Search (available under the new "Feeds" menu item) lets you enter search terms and tap through the resulting tweets much like you would in Story Mode. Search in your native language! This is not a Twitter client—there's no following, retweeting, viewing of links, etc. Just pure surfing of the collective digital consciousness. Beware, it's addictive (and uncensored—parents, you can discreetly disable this feature in the Settings app if you wish).
