"Downpour’s weather system was also expanded upon: the harder it rains, the more creatures there are so it’s a good idea to get inside if you can when the weather turns ugly. Unlike Shattered Memories, where you were only in danger within the nightmare ice world, there’s never a time in Downpour you will automatically feel completely safe. Even in little to no rain Murphy can still be attacked!"
