“The Watcher” refers to a type of Slugcat, the game’s fluffy protagonist, and seemingly based on ‘Nightcat’, a fourth type of slugcat with no particular abilities added for the sake of the four-player arena mode in the Downpour DLC. It seems likely that The Watcher will flesh t he character out with its own set of distinct abilities.

The original Rain World is atmospheric, truly alien, and a wonderful game just to observe if you get a moment of safety thanks to the physically-simualted way its strange creatures move. It’s also a game in which you will die a lot - at least outside of its safari modeadded in the Downpour DLC. That frequent death creates a definte vibe, which Brendy enjoyed enough in hisRain World review.

There’s no release date for The Watcher yet; Steam just says that it’s “coming soon”.
