What is Of Lies and Rain?
Set in the not-too-distant future of 2048, the world has taken a turn for the worse. Humanity is now on the brink of extinction, surviving underground after a 20-year war with an AI called A.D.E. In this post-apocalyptic world, everything is fighting for survival, with Earth’s surface now ruled by hostile machines. You play an unknown survivor with no memories of who you are or your past.
Okay, so the plot isn’t exactly original, but the world of Of Lies and Rain looks amazing, and the gameplay looks great. An action-packed shooter, as you’re trying to save the world from destruction, you’ll wield not only guns, but a special ability too, being able to cross between the real and digital realms.
