Rain World is a 2017 survival platform game developed by Videocult over six years and published by Adult Swim Games for PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows in March 2017, and for Nintendo Switch in late 2018. Players assume control of the "Slugcat", an elongated felid-like creature, and are tasked with searching for the creature's relatives in a derelict world for its family. The Slugcat uses debris as weapons to escape randomized enemies, forage for food, and reach safe hibernation rooms before a deadly torrential rain arrives. The player is given little explicit guidance on how to survive, which was the intention of the developers, who wanted players to feel like a rat living on subway tracks, in which they learn to survive in an environment without grasping its higher-level function. Rain World received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its art design and fluid animations, but criticized its brutal difficulty, inconsistent save points, and imprecise controls.
