Rain World – How to Unlock Secret Slugcat

Secret slugkitties!!

Rain World is a beautiful game that allows players to integrate themselves into a gorgeous, mystical world as a slugcat. Slugcats are cat-like creatures that must find creative ways to survive in the hostile, rainy environment that they call home. Hunting for food, shelter, and allies in a flooded world full of enemies is no easy feat, but if there’s one thing slugcats are good at, it’s persevering against all odds (and looking cute while doing it)!
