Rain World

Rain World is a survival simulation game in which players control Slugcat, a cat transformed into a slug, as it travels through a large world in search of food, shelter, and other slugs. The setting is a world ravaged by a global catastrophe, where constant torrential rain has killed many creatures and forced new species to adapt. The goal is to help Slugcat overcome challenges, avoid dangers, interact with its surroundings, and find safe hiding places.

Movement and escape

Slugcat moves through complex terrain by climbing, jumping, and clinging to ledges. Combining these actions well allows Slugcat to hide from and evade predators. Slugcat cannot fight, so survival depends on agility and dexterity. Recognizing and using escape routes is presented as a key way to last longer in dangerous situations.

Food, energy, and hunting

Slugcat stays fueled by consuming small creatures. Energy gained from food is used to sleep and to enter new areas, so hunters need to plan trips carefully to make sure Slugcat has enough energy for the next stage of a journey. Hunting carries its own risks when many predators are nearby. After a hunt, Slugcat needs to find a safe home, or it may itself become prey.

Weather and shelter

The rain is a constant threat. Players must use sound and other warning signs to find shelter before the rain starts. If Slugcat does not reach shelter in time, it is carried away.

Game elements

The game lists an unusual plot, multiple locations, puzzle solving, atmospheric graphics with original art, and an intuitive interface with a considered control system. Progress comes from reading patterns in the environment and choosing routes carefully.
