About the Game
Rain World is a tense survival platformer where you hunt and hide as a small slugcat.
Rain World is a survival platformer with action and adventure elements, built by the independent studio Videocult and published by Akupara Games. You play as a nomadic slugcat separated from your family by a devastating flood. Every stretch of the world is dangerous, and you have to face it alone, looking for food and shelter between torrential downpours that threaten to drown all life. The goal is simple to state and hard to pull off: climb through the ruins of an ancient civilization, find your family, and survive long enough to do it.
The core loop is a cycle of hunting and avoiding being hunted. You need to catch your own prey with your spear, and you need to stay out of the jaws of bigger predators that are always on the hunt, sometimes even for each other. Because your slugcat is small and soft, force is rarely an option. Stealth, timing and careful reading of the ecosystem matter more, and learning how each creature behaves is how you turn their strengths against them. Mistakes are costly, so every stretch of play tends to be a tense balancing act between eating well and not becoming dinner.
The setting leans into atmosphere. The store description points to industrial wastes, ancient ruins, and new lands full of strange creatures and buried mysteries, and the visual style draws on the simplicity and aesthetics of 16-bit classics. The rain comes in heavy, dangerous bursts, so the weather is part of the threat as much as the predators. The tags list single-player play alongside multiplayer, split-screen versus and remote play options, so there are a few ways to share the experience with friends.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy tense, stealth-driven survival games will likely find a lot to like here. If you enjoy learning how an ecosystem behaves through trial and error and like a moody, atmospheric world, the game rewards that patience.
Not Recommended For
Players who want forceful, combat-heavy action will find the emphasis on stealth and avoidance works against them, since your character is small and soft and cannot win fights by force. If you prefer a clear, straightforward path through every challenge, the constant danger and trial-and-error approach may wear you down.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Rain World holds a Very Positive rating on Steam, which is 極度好評 in the Taiwan store wording. Around 94 percent of its reviews are positive, and the total review count runs into the tens of thousands of reviews. That combination suggests that most reviewers who have played it recommend it, and the score comes from a large enough sample to be a meaningful signal.
On Steam, the Very Positive label appears when the positive share is high across a sizable pool of reviews, placing the game just below the top tier of the scale. A rating reflects what reviewers thought, not whether the game suits you personally, so a player who dislikes punishing survival design may still be unhappy with a score this high. Reading a few recent reviews on the official Steam page will show you whether their praise and complaints match your own tastes.

All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Rain World is currently discounted to NT$ 183, down from its regular NT$ 408, which is a 55 percent reduction. The game has been discounted often in our records, and the deepest cut we have logged was 90 percent. The lowest paid price we recorded was NT$ 40, on June 26, 2026, which is also the first day in our record.
Our price record is still short, so treat any verdict here as tentative. At NT$ 183 the current price sits well above that NT$ 40 low, so this sale is a real discount but not our record low. We have not recorded any free-to-keep period for this game.
If you are sure the game suits you, NT$ 183 is a reasonable price for a title that Steam players rate so highly. If you are unsure, adding it to your wishlist lets you watch for a further drop, since discounts have come up often in our records.
