What players say

Players describe Rain World as a hostile, living ecosystem that ignores the player, making survival a constant struggle. It is brutally difficult and provides almost no direction, leading to many feeling lost, but the world's beauty and emergent interactions keep those who persist deeply engaged. Some players also note that important movement techniques are not taught, requiring outside research.
