. Story
On the tropical island of Lospass sits a seaside resort unlike
any other called the Flower, Sun, and Rain. But all is not well
in paradise as Sumio Mondo, a researcher, has been urgently
summoned to the island by the owner of the hotel. Upon arrival,
Sumio becomes caught in a time loop as the events of the same day
are played out over and over again, with each day coming to an
explosive end at the hands of terrorists that have targeted the
island for an unknown reason.
With the aid of Catherine, Sumio’s trusty computer that allows
him to "jack" into the minds of his subjects as one of its many
useful features, his job is to stop the explosive device that
threatens to destroy the entire island. With the resort of
Flower, Sun, and Rain as his base of operations, Sumio travels
the island questioning the residents and following up on clues in
order to get to the bottom of the mystery. Can Sumio solve the
mystery in time to defuse the bomb? More importantly, can he
figure out what’s happening to him and his surroundings before he
eventually goes insane?
Gameplay
A mystery/adventure, Flower, Sun and Rain places players in
control Sumio Mondo. Sumio finds things for a living, but in this
case what he finds is himself caught in a temporal loop. Gameplay
within this scenario consists of players attempting to put clues
together to solve the mystery of how to stop the bombing as well
as the nature of the temporal loop itself which results in the
devastating explosion of a bomb over and over again as each day
comes to an end. The catch within this is that the history
revolving around gameplay has yet to be written, meaning that it
is changeable with each new day. To this end, the game contains
18 different scenarios that play out according to the events that
players put into motion as they go through their day, finding
lost items for island residents, taking notes on each encounter
they have and using Sumio's portable computer "Catherine" to
probe the minds of non-playing game characters and solving
additional puzzles.
