In doing this, the game shines a light on our own animal-ness, collapsing the usual divide between us and the other creatures we share the world with. You find yourself scurrying out to explore the local habitat and wildlife before retreating back to safety.
The result is a game that gets you behaving like an animal. There are items to help you deal with these creatures, but you still need to work with the physics to defeat the other animals and avoid being eaten. The ecosystem of predators and prey has goals of its own so that the food chain evolves and you never quite know what or who you'll find in the next room. You are small and soft and must rely on stealth and wit rather than force. Even the movement is hard to control as you have to work around the physics of your slinky body and the broken world.Īs you explore you discover both opportunities for food and plenty of danger. There is the harsh rain from which you must hide. There are unexpected ambushes from opportunistic animals. But when you die you lose some of this access and must build up again. If you do this, you gain access to more of the vast number of 1600 rooms and 12 diverse regions.
You have to work to find enough food to hibernate before the rain comes. Play involves sneaking, climbing and pouncing your way around a world that is itself evolving. You must venture out and brave the other predatory creatures to find food before the rain comes and you have to hide. Rain World, and the expansion Downpour, are traversal and survival games where you play a half-cat, half-slug in a living breathing world.
