Rising Star Games will be hoping to keep both Suda51 and mystery fans happy this autumn with the long-awaited release of Flower, Sun and Rain.

Written and directed by the infamous games creator, this Nintendo DS exclusive is the first chance western gamers have had to experience one of Suda51's earliest creations and offers an insight into the evolution of his unique style following the huge successes of Killer7 and No More Heroes.

Flower, Sun and Rain is a mystery adventure very much in the vein of Groundhog Day. You play a detective charged with locating and defusing a bomb by solving puzzles with a wealth of bizarre outcomes.

Originally released on the PlayStation 2, Flower, Sun and Rain was never available outside of Japan and has been high on wish lists of every Suda51 fan since Killer7 was unleashed on the western market in 2005.

Commenting on its imminent release, Goichi Suda, aka Suda51 commented, "It's great news that European gamers are getting to play Flower, Sun and Rain. All of my creative work involves a touch of the bizarre and unexpected and this game is no different!"

Flower, Sun and Rain will be released throughout Europe from mid-October 2008.
