Rain World is a 2017 survival-platform video game developed by indie studio Videocult and published by Adult Swim Games and Akupara Games. It was released for PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows in March 2017, and Nintendo Switch in December 2018. The player assumes control of a "slugcat"—an agile cat-like animal—that is tasked with survival in a derelict and hostile world. The slugcat traverses through the remnants of an industrialized ancient civilization as it searches for its family. The slugcat uses debris as weapons to escape from lethal predators, scavenge for food, and reach safe hibernation rooms before the deadly torrential rain arrives. Other game modes also include multiplayer.
Beginning in 2011, Rain World was in development for over six years by a two-man team and funded through Kickstarter, who intended to simulate a realistic ecosystem; creatures act independently to the player and perpetually wander through the environment. Rain World uses procedural animation and conveys much of its narrative through environmental storytelling, adopting an adaptive low-fi and electronic soundtrack. Players are given little explicit guidance on how to survive so that they would feel like "a rat that lives on subway tracks", learning to survive in an environment without understanding its higher-level function.
Rain World received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its art design and procedural animation, but criticized its difficulty, checkpoint system, and controls; some of these concerns were addressed with later updates. Despite the mixed reviews, the game garnered a cult following and modding community. In January 2023, a downloadable content pack titled Rain World: Downpour, which was adapted from a popular community mod, was released for PC and ported to various consoles on July 11, 2023, receiving generally positive reviews from critics. A second content pack titled Rain World: The Watcher was released on March 28, 2025, for PC.
