The Raintime

The Raintime is a freeware visual novel about William, a college student whose last links to reality are slowly unraveling. He sleeps in, skips lectures, drinks with friends and tries to gather the courage to talk to Jasmine, who is on the theater committee. In recent weeks, a mysterious restlessness has led him to distance himself from his friends and spend his time alone in his room, with thoughts he cannot bear to bring into the light.

William gradually realizes that his world is an illusion. He sees the city, the university and the artificial island where he lives as unnatural abominations against humanity that must be undone for history to take its due course.
