Game Overview

RefRain -prism memories- is a shooting game where you cycle through 3 different attack modes to mow down waves of enemies. Rather than focus on simply dodging enemy bullets, we want the player to experience the high-octane thrills of combat.

While the amount of on-screen projectiles may be on par with conventional bullet hell games, RefRain is conceptually different, and is not solely focused on the evasive aspects of the bullet hell genre.

The game also takes place in the same universe as our previous title --Samidare.

Getting Started

Copy the folder to somewhere on your hard drive and run the RefRain.exe file.
Note: This step is not required when purchased from Steam.

To run the configuration tool (Config.exe), the update tool (Updater.exe) and the posting to Twitter (sstwitter.exe), you must have Microsoft .NET Framework Version 3.5 (or above) installed.

Note: The latest patch will be applied to the game automatically when it is launched.
Note: Please check our website if you do not wish to use automatic updates. Note: Check for and automatically download latest update when purchased from Steam.

Configuration Tool FPS Setup Example

This game is fundamentally designed for seamless gameplay at a framerate of 60fps. If the framerate shown in the lower-left corner of the game drops below 60, then you are experiencing slowdown. If the game maintains a solid 60 FPS, then there are no issues.

Try the following quick fix if you are experiencing a drop in performance. (This will make the game run close to its original speed.)

Please keep in mind that the lower your framerate drops below 60, the less frames your PC will render, resulting in choppy gameplay. (The game is not intended to have choppy gameplay.)

This may be a sign that your PC hardware needs an upgrade.

FPS Setup Tips

1. When set to 60fps, check the value of the FPS indicator located at the lower-left corner of the screen.
2. Run the configuration tool (Config.exe).
3. Set the FPS column value to 45, 30, or 15 while referring to the following:

A: In-game FPS value = 45-55 (59 max) -> Set Config.exe's FPS column value to 45.
--> This value is okay if the in-game FPS is steady at 45 -> If it drops greatly below 45, then go to B.

B: In-game FPS value = 30-44 -> Set Config.exe's FPS column value to 30.
--> This value is okay if the in-game FPS is steady at 30 -> If it drops greatly below 30, then go to C.

C: In-game FPS value = 15-29 -> Set Config.exe's FPS column value to 15.
--> This value is okay if the in-game FPS is steady at 15 -> If it drops greatly below 15, then your PC
may not meet the requirements for this game.
