Notes

  1. ↑ The Taxidermist was to be the first part of a series of DLC scenarios called The Heavy Rain Chronicles. Only the first episode was completed; development for the rest was later cancelled.
  2. ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
