Rain World is a 2017 survival platformer video game in which the player controls a part-slug, part-cat creature to survive a hostile, derelict world in search of its family.
The player is given little explicit guidance and is free to explore the world in any direction.
Through jumping and using debris as weapons, the Slugcat escapes enemies to forage for sparse food used to hibernate in designed (and also sparse) safe rooms.
Hibernation resets the day cycle and saves the player's progress. The player can move between regions by hibernating multiple times without dying. If the player does not reach the hibernation point in time, a crushing rain will begin to pour that can pummel the Slugcat to death and otherwise flood the world.
Upon death, the Slugcat returns to the last hibernation save point and loses any map progress made since. The player also loses a karma point, which are indicated at the bottom of the screen.
The player needs to meet a karmic threshold to reach specific areas of the game. Karma is restored upon reaching a new hibernation area, and the player can shield their current karma level by eating a yellow flower before dying. The flower appears at the start of each area and is re-planted wherever the Slugcat dies.
Enemies range from small leeches to camouflaged plants to electric centipedes to large vultures to a few different species of Komodo dragon-like lizards, large tentacle monsters "daddy long legs", an intelligent spear-using species called Scavengers, stilt-legged terror birds and huge leviathan in water. Many enemies can kill the Slugcat in one hit, and some species have internal variation, such as the pink lizards that can climb.
The enemies spawn at random, such that the player cannot progress through trial and error experimentation. These creatures possess dynamic AI and exist in the game's world perpetually, even when not on the same screen as the player, and don't have preset placement.
The player does, however, need to experiment with spears to climb walls and knock fruit out of trees. The Slugcat can also eat power-up plants, which grant status effects, such as slowing time.
Rain World's setting is destroyed by ecological catastrophe and illustrated in pixel art. Its story is communicated through details in the environment, images during hibernation, and holograms from a worm that monitors the Slugcat.
The game does little to guide the player, apart from the worm, who gives some hints about where to go and what to collect towards the beginning of the game. The player can view a map to check their progress through the large in-game world.
