Here's what you have to know about Rain World.
#SteamSpotlight Feature: Rain World
Released on March 29, 2017, Rain World is developed by Videocult and published by Akupara Games. It is an atmospheric survival 2D platformer game that follows a slugcat who is both a hunter and a prey trying to survive a broken ecosystem.
The slugcat who you're playing as has been separate from its family due to a flood, and the goal is to reunite with them. However, that is easier said than done as the environment and other creatures will make it hard for you to survive.

It's All About Stealth
As a slugcat, you are not exactly a humongous, terrying creature, so you will have to rely on clever decision-making in order to survive your surroundings. You'll also need to rely on it to escape predators lurking around.
Stealth plays a huge role in Rain World as mastering it will allow you to survive. However, will you ever need to use force in order to survive? You'll find out when you play.

"Never has a game made me want to rip out my own hair as much as Rain World," user Deffy says in a Steam review. "It's also one of my favourite games now."
"One of the greatest, most powerful single player experiences I've ever pushed my way through," Mistress Spitfire says in a separate review. "And I say pushed literally; it took several restarts, each one of my attempts lasting up to a couple of hours, before the game finally started to stick with me."
"If you have any interest in this game and its world, I beg you, do not spoil a moment of it for yourself," Mistress Spitfire adds. "Do not look up a map, or walk-through of any kind. Go in completely blind. It will be worth the pain."
