In 2010, Heavy Rain redefined interactive storytelling, blending film and gameplay into an emotional, choice-driven experience. In this episode, we explore how musician-turned-director David Cage built Quantic Dream from scratch and transformed his creative vision into one of gaming’s most cinematic adventures. We trace his journey from composing for Cryo Interactive to founding Quantic Dream, developing early hits like Omikron and Fahrenheit, and eventually crafting the gripping tale of the Origami Killer. Our conversation dives into the game’s ambitious motion capture production, its emotional writing, and the legacy it left on narrative-driven games. Join us as we face the storm and explore Heavy Rain on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane.
