Chapter Select

The chapter select menu

As part of its "interactive movie" concept, Heavy Rain is divided into a series of chapters, like a DVD. Each focuses specifically on one of the four protagonists at a time (though some focus on two or three).

Trivia[]

  • On the PS4 release, if "Under Arrest" is replayed via chapter select, it will always show the cutscene with Ethan being thrown in a cell, even if he evaded arrest on the saved game being played. This is likely a bug, as the PS3 and PC versions will load the chapter normally.
  • If the player has more than one save file in use, if they complete a chapter via chapter select without saving and then exit to the main menu, the game will switch to the newer save file and the player will have to load the save they were playing on previously.
  • A glitch may occur which causes the game to become stuck on a loading screen. The console will usually restart itself to correct the glitch if it happens.
  • The lowest number of total chapters that can be completed in a game is 45. The lowest number of playable chapters that can be completed in a game is 41 (counting "The Old Warehouse" as unplayable in the case that no one arrives at the warehouse).
    • If Madison and Norman die in "The Doc" and "Mad Jack" respectively, five of the 52 total chapters will be skipped.
    • If Ethan is not arrested in either "Fugitive" or "On the Loose," "Under Arrest" will be skipped. Alternatively, if he is arrested in both chapters and/or Norman is dead when he is arrested, "The Rat" will be skipped instead.
    • If Lauren dies in "Trapped," the unplayable chapter "Goodbye Lauren" will be skipped, skipping seven of 52 chapters in total.
  • In the game files, there is an unused save slot for "Under Arrest" that resembles the chapter slots used in Fahrenheit, where the character being controlled is shown over an image of a location featured in that chapter.
  • Unused chapter select images for Ethan's blackouts and a removed chapter where he takes Shaun to school still exist in the game files.
  • In an early preview build, each chapter used a unique chapter select banner featuring scene lighting on the character's face. It was also possible for the player to save their progress into any of the three available slots at any time.
