![]() ![]() Perhaps due to its nature as a story most of the game is presented with somewhat of an arts and crafts look, major characters like the cloud itself and people who speak to it drawn on cardboard and moved about with strings while more mobile human characters and animals are clearly made of felt or plastic when you get a closer look at them. ![]() It turns out the famously stormy city of Seattle is the cloud’s destination, so it flies off in search of it, raining down on the places along the way as it travels. Rain on Your Parade is presented as a story told by an old man to his grandson at night about a cloud who wanted to find a place on Earth where clouds are free to do as they please. Rain on Your Parade does soon realize that simple mischief can grow stale though, fairly quickly starting to introduce level types with more creative concepts and wilder ideas to make a new level a more exciting prospect than just seeing who you’ll be picking on next. Even after writing this I found that the game’s page on Steam specifically recommends the game if you liked Untitled Goose Game and Donut County. A quick look at Rain on Your Parade makes it look like it’s part of this group as well, the player guiding a cloud to disrupt people’s lives with rain and other weather effects. With games like Untitled Goose Game and Donut County it does seem like a trend towards “mischief games” is taking hold, the point of the game less about unique gameplay goals and more about providing various scenarios to disrupt in amusing ways. ![]()
