After some fits and starts, the playable demo for Heavy Rain is now actually available on the Epic Games Store, offering the chance to sample the upcoming Windows edition of Quantic Dream's 2010 action/adventure. Here's what to expect:

This free Demo version of Heavy Rain gives you access to the first act of the game.

Spanning four days of mystery and suspense, the hunt is on for a murderer known only as “The Origami Killer” - named after his macabre calling card of leaving behind folded paper shapes at crime scenes.

• The demo takes 45 minutes to complete.
• The demo will feature two full chapters from the game, in which players will immerse themselves in the roles of Norman Jayden, an FBI profiler brought in to help local law enforcement find and capture the Origami Killer, and Scott Shelby, a private investigator hired by families of past victims to bring their killer to justice.
• The demo, like the full game, features stunning graphics in 4K resolution, 60 fps and Widescreen compatibility
