Pain World. Frustration World. I just met Moon and she's too demanding (Overseer still guides me to Neurons), however I love her very much. Basically, almost every interaction of me with the ecosystem is like: "What is this?" *moves closer to it and dies*. Anyways, it's fun. For those who don't know what this game is: Rain World is a 2017 survival platformer video game in which the player controls a slug-like creature, a "slugcat" searching a hostile, derelict world for its family. The game's graphics are mainly centered around skillful pixel-art. Your main threat is the [b]Rain[/b], which brutally punishes the overworld with its bulled-like droplets. Every cycle, you must find shelter to protect yourself from the violent weather when it comes. Your guide to this journey will be the [b]Overseer.[/b] [img]https://wallpaperaccess.com/full/625540.jpg[/img] [quote= in-game gifs] [img]https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U34RDKPiQDQ/XCkgZCqWeYI/AAAAAAAAPUU/b5x8BqFtLRkQ0-vaGEq9cB6tIY4dtVrLACLcBGAs/s1600/1.gif[/img][img]https://media.giphy.com/media/3og0IC8J9J5r7Gj768/giphy.gif[/img][img]https://media.giphy.com/media/1ZO5OP4ZAc20U/giphy.gif[/img][img]https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7bub3s8CvM8najFC/giphy.gif[/img] [/quote] What are y'all's stories on Rain World? Let's suffer together.

@LooksToTheMoon Unbelievable.

Anyways yes this is a sufferer's game. What's up with Moon? I just found her to be extremely sensitive. I had to play very nice around her or she'd get scared.

@FivePebbles
She asks for Neurons. I am travelling to find the first one ( currently in The Leg and goddamn White Lizards keep knocking me off or bleep ganging on me). The Shaded City was painful to go through because I had to acquire a lantern to pass through the ugly spiders and Miros birds kept slowing me down (I got caught in the Rain 2 times because I was too slow). I can't imagine going through that until I get all of the Neurons. Help.

@LooksToTheMoon
I've heard horror stories about first-time players eating Moon's Neurons when they first met her, sad. I didn't eat them tho, nor grab them.

@VeridisQuo
Don't go up the leg or the underhang, those are like my least favorite two places in the game solely because of how annoying they are combined with the slugcat's funny jumps. Go back to industrial complex and go up chimney canopy to the wall instead, it's much nicer than the stupid leg. All in all, you don't even have to give her any unless you want to

I honestly regret going through the route you're "supposed" to go through (memory crypts -> leg -> underhang -> 5p) rather than the wall way on my first playthrough (though it did end up showing me something beautiful I wouldn't have seen otherwise)

i found climbing the wall actually super difficult - there's a few maneuvers that require you to do more advanced motions and the advanced motions are just really hard for me to do. plus i think you need to spear your way up a few times?

it does have the benefit of no rain once you've passed a certain point, though. but you do miss out on a lot of the beauty of general systems bus

@FivePebbles
Oh, I already passed through both and met Five Pebbles. The jumps and acrobatics weren't a problem for me, it was the annoying quantity of Brother Long Legs that got in my way and the persistence of the Orange Lizards that bothered me to no end. The Overseer disappeared when I got to the Memory Crypts, so I didn't find a Neuron AT ALL when I progressed ( At least now I know where to go and also got my Slugcat a bigger brain when I met Five Pebbles tho).

eating a noodlefly’s baby was the biggest mistake ive ever made in my life, immediate regret, that thing will hunt you down

@munchea
I literally hate those things, I've never eaten any of their babies in my life and they still try to kill me. They have the aim of a sniper

I just got to the ending and, honestly, it is beautiful. I just realized that there's so much hidden meaning in the ending. The search for enlightenment and wanting to break the cycle of pain.
