Rain is a 600 page interactive graphic novel,
a detective story written in verse.

Cape Town, South Africa.
Winter of '86

The reader takes the part of
Richard Graham, Private Detective
investigating a very dodgy  scam.

The novel includes:

- 55+ minutes of studio-recorded sound;
- about 600 graphics;
- about 20 characters who are moved about
  through 24 hours of virtual time;
- A simple push-button interface
- about 100 hours of playtime - more if you're not that bright.
- Random factors mean that you can never read the same novel twice.

The novel does not include animated graphics, a shootem-up scene or a bouncing eyeball - it is a literary text which can be accessed (read) through the conventions of gaming.

The work is in progress and I expect to finally complete it during 2006.
