On the island of Lospass, there sits a seaside resort unlike any other. Flower, Sun, and Rain may be more apt as the title of a National Geographic piece but amidst a tropical paradise, it's the epitome of lavish surroundings and well-heeled relaxation. Amenities galore, beautiful women, and modern contrivances are it's other perks. Detective Kodai Sumio figures he's in for an enjoyable couple of days at the resort but a host of pampered guests and socialites alter his immediate destiny by badgering him for help. Aided by a multi-purpose device called a "Dial", Sumio-san divines the circumstances surrounding a situation or a problem by using the gadget in conjunction with the game manual which relates locations of places and offers details on the people encountered in the game. An additional feature of the "Dial" is the ability to determine the nature or purpose of an object. Rendered in 3-D, Flower, Sun, and Rain pleases the eye with it's fluid animation and sumptuous graphics. The gameplay may be likened to standard detective sims where clues are ferreted, folks questioned, and point A must be visited before going to point B. All in all, an enjoyable and unique game brimming with interesting scenarios, characters, and puzzles to solve.
