While the storylines have nothing to do with one another, Beyond: Two Souls utilizes a lot of the same ideas and gameplay mechanics found in Heavy Rain. By taking those elements and applying them to a story that is an action-packed spiritual exploration of what happens after we pass on to the next plane of existence, Quantic Dream thinks it may be able to please both sides of the Heavy Rain debate. While Heavy Rain has yet to receive a sequel, it will be receiving a spiritual successor in the form of the supernatural thriller Beyond: Two Souls. On one hand, players were treated to an intricate narrative featuring interwoven character-driven storylines, stunning graphics, and a mystery with a big twist ending but on the other hand, there were many who weren’t ready to accept that something with such little player input could be an enjoyable video game. The release of Heavy Rain in 2010 proved to be about as divisive as video games get.
