Weatherman is a puzzle/simulation game, designed around the dissonance between the weather forecast and the actual weather. The player plays as 'God', and is tasked with making the weather as alike to the forecast as possible.

The game begins with a tv style weather forecast for each level, that the player is perhaps watching from a setting on the clouds. This weather forecast can be watched again at any time during the level. The player is then shown a detailed, colour satellite view of the forecasted area, with small indicators of key areas that are also present on the forecast.

To change the weather over time, the player can change the pressure of areas of the screen using a mouse or VR Vive controllers, by either holding the left button or moving their hand forwards to push a wireframe heightmap inwards, representing low pressure, or doing the opposite to represent high pressure. Other interactions to control rain and clouds are also available.

The player can finally press a simulate button, after which - based on the player's input, the weather will be simulated over a (sped up) period of around one day. If it is close enough to the forecast, the player wins the level!
