About the Game

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, there’s a spring in everybody’s step. It’s a perfect day until Ella receives a new pair of sunglasses that bring dark clouds and rain wherever she goes. Follow along as Ella does her best to dodge the rain in this charming story set in a lively London square. In this VR version of Rain or Shine, discover a neighborhood full of other characters that make up Ella’s world, just waiting for you to "find" them.

Directed by Felix Massie and produced at Nexus Interactive for the Emmy award-winning Google Spotlight Stories platform.
