About this game
A Gentle Rain is the rare puzzle game that asks you to slow down instead of speed up. You are watching for a rare sight, all eight kinds of lily blooming together on a quiet lake, and every tile you lay must match the colors of its neighbors before a blossom can open. There is no clock pressuring you and no opponent looking over your shoulder, just the soft satisfaction of a pattern slowly clicking into place, or the quiet acceptance when it does not. Keep score if you want a goal, or simply enjoy fifteen minutes of calm, solitary tile-laying and let the lilies bloom or not.
