Unveiling the First Build

Rain Check
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Hey everyone, Radcanine, lead developer here.

I'm happy to announce that the first version of Rain Check is now live! The story follows Theodore as he navigates a city shrouded in mystery during a vacation trip to the world's largest tech convention. Rain Check is a blend of mystery, thriller, and contains NSFW scenes involving violence and homoerotic subject matter that may not be suitable for some audiences.

It's been one hell of a journey since the early development stages and Twitter teasers we shared early last year. This is the first visual novel I've ever created, and I've learned so much throughout the process. The release of Rain Check was delayed several times due to necessary rewrites.  The story and pacing have been refined, and I hope you enjoy immersing yourself in this world as much as I enjoyed creating it. The first build contains roughly 22k words.

As the project is still under development, we have set up a Patreon for those interested in supporting the continued progress of Rain Check. While entirely optional, all supporters will be able to download the latest build two weeks before it goes public. Our current Patreon build includes an extra scene with 2.5k words, and there are even more benefits to explore. If you're interested, be sure to check it out!

Thank you for your support, and happy reading!
