Rain World gets surprise release on Switch

Adult Swim Games and Videocult have just released Rain World on the Switch eShop. This comes as a bit of a surprise, as we didn’t know about this previously.

We have the following overview and trailer for Rain World:

You are a slugcat. The world around you is full of danger, and you must face it – alone. Search for food and shelter between torrential downpours that threaten to drown all life. Evade cunning predators that adapt to catch you. Find your family before death finds you.

Inspired by the simplicity and aesthetics of 16-bit classics, this survival platformer requires fast-paced sneaking, both upon your own prey and past the jaws of hungry predators. Grab your spear and brave the industrial wastes, but be way of the many pitfalls and traps that litter the broken landscape.
