Talk Playstation 3 News

That’s what David Cage of Quantic Dream’s said at the Games Convention about Heavy Rain.
You will continue playing the game’s central plot if the protagonist who is played by a girl dies.

David Cage said a day after the conference

I can’t really tell you too much about what the story’s about or how it’s going to work with the characters, all I can tell you that your character – the main character – can die, and the story will continue, you can continue to play, without this character, of course

You would think this means you’ll be following a side story if this happens but guess again, the plot will remain ‘in the big story’.
