Our take on Symphonic Rain
The musical sections tie performance to the story’s central exam: Chris needs a vocal partner for an original song, and both choices and musical results shape the ending.
What is Symphonic Rain?
In Piova, a city of music and persistent rain, Chris Vertin studies the Fortelle, a magical instrument, at the Communal School of Music.
With graduation approaching, he needs a vocal partner to perform an original song for his final examination, but has not started looking. The story combines visual-novel scenes with music-based sections in which players perform along with a metronome. Choices and musical performance affect which ending follows. Chris’s days include letters from his girlfriend and a small musical fairy who lives in his room. This HD remaster features artwork by original character designer Siro and music by singer-songwriter Ritsuko Okazaki.
