Expand your Heavy Rain experience

There’s more to Heavy Rain than you may realise. Peek into PlayStation Store and find out why…

The best-selling adult adventure, Heavy Rain, doesn't end with just the Blu-ray Disc. There are an increasing number of downloads available on PlayStation Store to keep the tense thriller going. Take a look at your next step into the drizzly, grizzly world of Heavy Rain...

Heavy Rain: Chronicle 1
Based on the original Taxidermist scenario which was used to officially unveil Heavy Rain in 2008, Heavy Rain: Chronicle 1 is a fully playable scene which gives you even more insight into the game's world - with you at the controls.

Stepping into the shoes of Madison Paige prior to the events of Heavy Rain, you have to investigate the home of a suspicious character who may be hiding a terrible secret. It's your job to try and uncover evidence which can help Madison in her task. As the tension builds, you may find you're not alone in this creepy house... which means it's up to you to decide what your next steps should be. Can you find some evidence, hold your nerve and survive the experience?

With its excellent use of split screen visuals to increase the drama and creeping sense of dread, Heavy Rain: Chronicle 1 is a must for anyone who enjoys tense, spine-tingling gameplay. And with several different endings to see based on your actions, there's plenty of replay value to keep you coming back for another shot.

Heavy Rain Soundtrack
The emotional impact of Heavy Rain is fully realised with the Heavy Rain Soundtrack, which lets you experience the full score to Quantic Dream's intense thriller. Composed and conducted by Normand Corbeil, and recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London, England, this orchestral soundtrack offers an aural treat that makes you realise just how powerful the game is in drawing you into its murky world of crime and mystery.

Heavy Rain Dynamic Themes
PlayStation 3 dynamic themes are a popular and brilliantly unique way to customise your PS3 system's XMB™ (XrossMediaBar) with animated visuals that capture the imagination. Heavy Rain has a few dynamic themes for you to watch and enjoy: Official (based on Heavy Rain's atmospheric main menu environment), Crime Scene (based on one of rain-soaked crime scene seen in the game), Mars and Forest (both based on two of the alternate reality locations from Jayden's ARI - Added Reality Interface - glasses in the game). Load them up from PlayStation Store and enjoy a distinctly different side of Heavy Rain.
