The Taxidermist is Chapter 1 of the Heavy Rain Chronicles, and prefaces the main events of the game — detailing journalist Madison Paige’s investigation into the Origami Killer. The scene has Madison exploring the rancid looking home of a former Taxidermist. There’s a real grungey vibe to the home that sets the tone for one of Heavy Rain’s darkest scenes. In fact, we’d argue The Taxidermist scene leans upon horror for inspiration. While much of Heavy Rain’s main story is reasonably tame, The Taxidermist gets particular vulgar in a couple of spots that had us cringing at the screen.
