Rains is a science fiction tale of survival, secrecy, and resistance that follows Baylar and her family as they seek refuge in a mountain—the only sanctuary from the endless rain that began once the machines took over. When they encounter the Burning Hand resistance, a machine attack forces them to flee, and Baylar’s carefully guarded secret is revealed: the rain does not harm her. With her family torn apart and her people in peril, she may be the key to salvation—if she can survive long enough to discover how.

In a city drowning under a perpetual, iridescent downpour—a product of machine dominion—Lyra, a Cipher, confronts the looming erasure of humanity's fragmented consciousness. The machines, in a chilling twist, amplify these mental imprints, rendering them disturbingly corporeal, warping the fabric of reality itself. To halt the "Resonance Suppressor," Lyra and her allies infiltrate the core of the machine network, the "Chromatic Grid." They battle relentless Sentinels and humans twisted into living manifestations of fractured minds, confronting not only external threats but the haunting specters of their own amplified psyches. As they shatter the machines' control, the city transforms into a living labyrinth of distorted realities, where the boundaries of self and memory dissolve. Humanity now faces a future where the past isn't merely recalled, but tangibly relived—a terrifying and wondrous new paradigm.
