Publisher's Summary

A Warhammer Horror audio drama.

On a world cut off from the Imperium, towering spires are lashed by endless rain. As citizens flee from the drowning city, a sadistic Imperial interrogator seeks a lowly data-drone with a terrible secret. But when disaster strikes, the pair must rely on each other for survival as the Watcher in the Rain awaits them.

Listen to it because: Hear a world in peril, with a magnificent soundscape acting as the backdrop to a thoroughly frightening tale of two enemies forced to work together against a darkness that will consume them both.

The story: In the far reaches of Imperial space, a ferocious warp storm approaches an Administratum world, cutting off the entire planet from the rest of the Imperium. As their towering grey spires are punished by endless rain, countless administrators, tithe-masters, and book-keepers are forced to evacuate. Among them is Greta, a lowly data-drone with a terrible secret, wanted for questioning by the sadistic Imperial interrogator Stefan Crucius. As disaster strikes and the pair are left stranded in the depths of the drowning city, captor and captive must cooperate to stand any chance of escaping. But a mysterious presence stalks them through the abandoned, flooded towers, a dread entity each must confront but which neither dare acknowledge, a Watcher in the Rain.

Written by Alec Worley. Running time 74 minutes. Performed by Matthew Hunt, Deeivya Meir, Melvin Rawlinson and Richard Reed.

Cheese

I'll take the regular books over these audio dramas any day. Dialog heavy. Overly dramatic and drawn out.

Great ending

Excellent performances and atmosphere, and the final few minutes really tie the whole thing together neatly. 4/5.

The Darkest of the Grimdark

If you ever wanted to delve into the deepest horrors that the 41st Millennium has to offer, look no further than "The Watcher in the Rain." if you dare look at it at all....

This is a masterpiece. The story, the voice acting, the sound design, all combine to create a truly harrowing experience. Everyone involved in making this audiodrama understood what tone they had to strike to properly bring the Warhammer Universe to life. The balance of grimdark brutality, psychological horror and grim, grim humour is absolutely on point. To say anything more would be to risk spoilers.

if you love Warhammer 40K, you cannot afford to miss "The Watcher in the Rain."

Absolutely incredible

Genuine horror within the 40k setting. Acting is completely on point, gave me chills by the end.

Brilliant

The atmosphere, the acting, the story - there's a dangling thread that I wish would have been elaborated on just slightly. There is a hint to more information for that thread, but it lacks resolution. It's a shrouded mystery, which just frankly makes it more tantalising. Not ideal if you're the sort that needs everything tied up with a bow, but marvelously done with a fantastic ending.

What a twist

the ending was amazing, most of the time I stood or sat listening intensely. Seeing the images of the story in my head, as if a movie was playing. 100/10

holy crap, that ending

amazing story with an extremely dark and bleak ending, that makes me feel bad for the "villian". its a amazingly well voice acted book, the sound effects are amazing, and the ending has such a twist of cruel fate/irony that I can't stop thinking about
