■ Evolved with the Addition of New Elements and Visual Upgrades

On February 6, 2023, a major update of the pre-sale Japanese version was made prior to the release of the worldwide version. The content of this update is also reflected in the translated version.

Evolution of Visual Aspects

In this major update, the “Azakawa Village Museum Exterior,” “Child Eater Cave,” and “Abandoned Mine Ruins” have been detailed, allowing visitors to become more immersed in the world of “The Forest of Drizzling Rain,” which has a fantastical atmosphere mixed with a sense of horror.

In addition, the stamps you collect in the “Stamp Rally,” one of the mini-games in the remake of The Forest of Drizzling Rain, have different designs depending on where you press the stamp. To find out what kind of stamps have been changed, try collecting all the stamps and see for yourself.

Upgraded Production Aspects

The remake of The Forest of Drizzling Rain has added a new scenario to the previous version released in 2013, including a “Chapter 2” in which players can explore the Azakawa Village while controlling the main character, Shiori.

After the “mysterious small staircase,” which was inaccessible until the major update, a chicken coop will appear. You can enjoy a conversation with the owner of the chicken coop, and you can challenge the mission to catch the chickens that have escaped from the coop. In addition, the residents of Azakawa Village ask you to gather wild vegetables, which you can harvest by walking around the village and examining the plants. There are many different types of wild vegetables, so you can learn the names of them.
