This is how I ended up spending much of my afternoon watching David Cage characters pissing.
One video creator decided to painstakingly count every instance of playable pee time in cinematic adventure gameHeavy Rain.
This is vital work.
This is important work.
I won’t spoil exactly how many pees you’re able to pee in the choice-heavy crime thriller.
You’ll have to watch the video (or skip through it) to find out.
I will say it’s not a huge or impressive number.
It is a very plain amount of pees for a story that follows four people over four days.
“In most games you shoot people and it means nothing.
In Heavy Rain, you piss and the narrative is very slightly enhanced.
And you know what?
I think that’s beautiful.”
As the piss countdown progresses, Allie’s intense scrutiny results in some weirdly interesting observations.
In many instances, you will pee and be unable to wash your hands.
You will often eat or rub your face soon afterwards.
The piss is not dynamically tracked by the game, she also notes.
“you might easily go the whole game without taking a piss even once,” observes Allie.
The video also acts as a surprisingly thorough breakdown of the game’s storyline.
Yes, the focus is on urine.
Yes, the word piss occurs approximately 150 times in the course of the video.
Pee is on the brain here at RPS, it seems.
That’s all the piss we have for the moment, reader.
Now, wash your hands.
