This Japanese graphic adventure is like playing a 90s anime on the cusp of the end of the world

Rain98.

1998 was a pretty pivotal year in gaming, when we saw the launch of ground-breaking masterpieces like Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Half-Life, Metal Gear Solid, to name a few. More importantly for me, it was the year that the Dreamcast launched in Japan, a console that would be Sega at its most creatively optimistic and yet also the end of an era, being the company's final console.

That contradictory sense of one era ending and another beginning happens to be the theme of Rain98, a gorgeous-looking indie adventure game that's also set in 1998 (also see our pick of the best retro games consoles).
