What about...

Spoiler:
The part where you have to sneak upstairs to see the young, rich suspect as Shelby? Or how to get an audience with the nightclub owner as Madison? Or even how to get information from him successfully? There's lots of puzzles there that can be completed in different ways, or just not completed at all.


I think one of the main puzzle/adventure game aspects of Heavy Rain are the trophies. Doing things correctly, despite not being given a hint to the "correct" way, will earn you a trophy. One prime example would be the third trial Ethan goes through...

Spoiler:
There's a lot of different ways you can complete the third trial (cutting your finger off), but the best way involves disinfecting your finger, heating up the re-bar, using one of the sharpest tools, then cauterizing your wound with the red-hot re-bar. You don't have to do all this, but you get a trophy for doing so.


Man... I wanna play Heavy Rain again now!
