Reflections of the Chronicler is one part artbook, one part story! Taking place shortly after the events of Upwards, Rain! The Post Office of Farewells, a courier by the name of Sulien makes land in the village of Vitae to chronicle the events surrounding Rain and her adventures through Mortem Post. Read journal entries and solve cipher-like puzzles in the artbook, then follow her adventure via new in-game scenes with point-and-click minigames to learn more about the world of Upwards, Rain!
Reflections of the Chronicler consists of an artbook and extra in-game scenario!
The artbook includes:
- Developer commentary and notes
- Interviews from the Upwards, Rain! voice actors
- Exhaustive concept art
- Multiple puzzles to help decipher things like the in-universe fantasy language
