About Rain World

About this game

Developed by Videocult and published by Akupara Games.

In Rain World, you'll become a slugcat who gets separated from its family during a devastating flood. In order to get back to them, you'll need to avoid the myriad of dangers all around you — from the torrential downpours to the terrifying jaws of vicious predators.

Discover the Land

Whilst you travel across the ancient civilisation in search of your family, you'll discover a whole new land that is teeming with strange creatures and buried mysteries. 

Play Smart...

As a slow, small, and soft slugcat, you'll have to rely on your wits and stealth skills to survive! Learn about the world around you until you can use their weaknesses against them. This phenomenal 2D platformer takes inspiration from the simplicity and aesthetic of the 16-bit classics. 

Dynamic World

An ever-changing ecosystem of predators and prey helps Rain World remain fresh as you enjoy the playthrough!

A Vast and Beautiful World

During your journey to find your family, you will explore an enormous world of over 1,600 rooms spanning 12 diverse regions, each filled with secrets and dangers.

Fast-paced Slugcat!

Just because you're an adorable slugcat, doesn't mean you can't do some great platforming. In Rain World, you'll find yourself going through the motions with fast-paced platforming, as you'll need to act quickly lest you want to be eaten.

Rain World V1.5 Updae:

This phenomenal update adds a bunch of things to the game, such as two new playable characters, a multiplayer arena that features competitive and sandbox modes, over 40 new unlockable multiplayer rooms, and a host of new secrets to discover!

According to steam the game has remote play but the game doesn't have it in the base game . You need the dlc to play co-op.
