Reina Amehara, the girl in Rain98
Reina Amehara is the girl the story turns on, voiced by Rio Tsuchiya and naming herself Angolmois — a reference to Nostradamus's king of the end of the world.
Reina Amehara is the girl you share an apartment with in Rain98 — the "girl who wants everything to end" in the game's own one-line pitch. She is voiced by Rio Tsuchiya, calls herself Angolmois, and is the reason the game's sticker book, its money loop and its rainy streets exist at all.
The essentials
| Name | Reina Amehara |
| Voice | Rio Tsuchiya (Japanese, full audio) |
| Self-given name | Angolmois |
| Role | Protagonist you live with; the ritual to end the world runs through her |
| Introduced | From the opening novel segments of the demo |
"Angolmois" is not a throwaway nickname. It comes from Nostradamus's prophecies — the "great King of Angolmois" said to be brought back to life in the year 1999 — which is exactly the kind of end-of-the-world iconography a girl in 1998 Tokyo might wrap herself in. The game never spells the reference out for you; it lets the name sit there and lets you notice the date on the wall.
What she wants
The studio's description is blunt: Reina is a girl longing to see the world end. She is not a companion to be fixed, and the game does not offer you a route where you talk her out of it. What it offers instead is closeness: the more time you spend with her, the more the story reveals about the life and the secrets behind her calm.
Rain98's theme, as stated on its store page, runs on that tension. Two lonely youths change the world with their choices — not with powers, not with weapons, but with how they treat each other while the rain keeps falling.
How players respond to her
If you want a read on how she lands, the demo's player reviews are unusually unanimous about one thing: the voice work and the presentation of Reina are what people single out. Reviewers describe her performance as the strongest element of the build, and the same reviews are often critical of the protagonist's passivity rather than of her. Whatever else the demo gets argued about, the character work is not the contested part.
Players also frequently mention the chibi versions of Reina that appear during the demo's minigames — a lighter counterweight to the story's tone, folding her into the everyday loop rather than leaving her in cutscenes.
What is not published
Two things people ask about most are not in the official material. Her age is not stated on the store pages, and her full backstory is deliberately withheld — the game is built on drawing closer to the secrets she keeps, which means the store copy names the secrets' existence and not their content. The demo's window runs to the first half of Chapter 2, and it is fair to assume it withholds as much as it reveals.
