Rain World News

Hey slugcats,

If you were watching the Six One Indie Showcase you would have seen that Rain World: The Watcher will be coming out on March 28th!

Journey beyond to something, somewhere only ever glimpsed. When the world beneath your feet cracks and crumbles, will you hold on to all you once knew?

Consider… ripples in water, distorting the reflection of an aberrant world. Unknown creatures. Hidden threats. Secrets glimpsed through the refractions of nothingness. And through the middle of it all, a lonely, lost slugcat trying their best to outlast the ravages of a warped world.

Hey slugcats,

• Fixed a bug that disabled players from restarting Expedition Mode after dying on their first run.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused some players to be stuck in the loading screen.
  
• Fixed a bug that flipped the load order of asset mods.
  
• Fixed the pup hunger bar not displaying.

I still think of Rain World as the beautiful, brutally hard game about accidentally going down tunnels butt-first and being crushed to death by weather, but it's grown and expanded a lot since its release almost seven years ago. It's about to grow again with a new DLC: The Watcher.
