Guide to Heavy Rain's 'The Park' chapter. Learn how to play games with Shaun, earn the 'Good Friends' Trophy, and progress through Ethan's emotional journey.

Alright, so you've just started the 'The Park' chapter in Heavy Rain. Ethan and Shaun are sitting on a bench, and things are pretty somber. Before we do anything, take a quick look at the time of day and what Shaun's wearing. Jot that down – it's super important for a Trophy you'll get later on.

You can chat with Shaun or check out Ethan's thoughts, but honestly, the best way to cheer Shaun up is to get up and play some games with him. Let's start with the boomerang. Grab it from Shaun's backpack. You'll need to hold down both R1 and R2, then give the controller a good downward shove. When it comes back, press [X] to catch it. Shaun will want to try it himself, so help him out by holding the analog stick up and pressing R1 to steady his stance. He'll get it!

Now that Shaun's feeling a bit better, let's explore the park and try a few more games. Just walk up to a game and call him over. For the see-saw, it's a simple tap Down when prompted. It might feel a little clunky, but it's quick. The merry-go-round is a bit more involved: hold down R1 and L1, then mash [X] for a good while. Pro tip: hold both shoulder buttons with the same hand to make the mashing easier on your thumb.

For the swing, you'll hold [X] and [Square] to lift Shaun up. Release him at the peak of his swing, then shove the controller downwards as prompted to keep him going. You only need to play two of these four games to move on, but I really recommend trying them all for the full experience.

Now, if you're aiming for the 'Good Friends' Trophy, there's one more thing: you need to buy a snack from the vendor before you tell Shaun it's time to leave. You'll find the vendor across the park, to the right of the merry-go-round. Once you've got the snack and you're ready to go, tell Shaun. He'll want one last ride on the carousel. Head to the stall on the right, pay for the ticket, and watch Ethan's son enjoy himself. After that, you'll be ready to move on to the next chapter.
