Rain World is a 2017 survival-platform video game developed by independent studio Videocult and published by Adult Swim Games and Akupara Games. It was released for PlayStation 4 and Windows in March 2017 and Nintendo Switch in December 2018. The player controls a "slugcat", an agile animal resembling a cat-slug hybrid, that is burdened with survival in a derelict and hostile environment. The slugcat traverses the remnants of an industrialized ancient civilization as it searches for its lost family. It uses debris as weapons to evade lethal predators, scavenges for food, and attempts to reach safe hibernation rooms before deadly torrential rain arrives. It can be played alone or with multiple players; there is also a sandbox mode.

Runs well on modern hardware.
