Survive in an unforgiving world
What is the gameplay like in Rain World? The game design is rather dark in style and simplicity, reminiscent of 90’s 16-bit games.
You move through landscapes full of industrial waste and you have to take care of food and a safe shelter for your cat snail.
You go hunting yourself, but at the same time you should be wary of other hunters for whom you are the prey. Also traps within the environment make your life difficult.
Here are some screenshots from Rain World
The game’s AI ensures that the enemies never stop chasing your cat snail. You carry a spear as your weapon, which you can use to defend yourself against enemies.
Another big aspect of the game is the constant threat of rain, which can drown the cat snail.
Is there a multiplayer mode? In Rain World, you can play split-screen PvP. On January 19, 2023, the expansion Rain World: Downpour will also be available on Steam, in which you will not only get new content but also a co-op mode and can fight for your survival with 4 other people as cat snails.

User ClockWyrk writes: “My absolute favorite game of all time. Yes, it’s brutal. Yes, it’s ruthless. But if you master this game and the things in it, you deserve it. You don’t get power-ups for skills, you just get better […] I will never find a game like this again and it will always be my favorite game. Thank you for this true work of art, Videocult [das Entwicklerstudio]’ (via Steam).
