Only it’s not a description of last year’s breakaway hit and multi-award winner, BlueTwelve Studio’s Stray, but an older and much more brutal feline saga, Videocult’s grim survival action game Rain World. If you engaged at all with the indie-game sphere in 2022, chances are this introduction rings a bell. Our fledgling protagonist, alone for the first time, has to fend for itself and find its way among the perilous mega-city ruins. An adorable family of furry mammals traversing a dystopian urban environment snapshots of joy and intimacy (playful hunts, mutual grooming, snuggling together for a nap) already infused with the melancholy of impending catastrophe the terrible, life-altering moment when a young cub loses its footing and plunges into unknown depths, separated from the pack.
