im doing pretty good too ^_^!!!!

im SO excited to yap about rainworlds >:D i wanted the game a lot like last year and its like “oh wow i have it now lol” so ive been playing it a bunch and reading about the lore (because its super hard to tell the lore in the game)

to start off simple, you play as a slugcat (basically cat mixed with a slug) in an ecosystem with other creatures, id like to mention how i enjoy that the creatures dont just have set animations for their actions like most games, theyre placed on a rig and the ai has to go off of what to do which i find interesting! you, the slugcat arent meant to be a hero in the story, youre basically just another part in the ecosystem, youre also very low in the food chain (below you are basically just small creatures and plants, while lizards, scavengers, vultures, etc are above you.)

i also enjoy how it isnt JUST a survival game, each character has a story, such as how monk and the survivor are brothers that were seperated, how hunters cycles count down instead of up because she has a disease, etc!

oh yeah i should also probably do a gender chart so nothing gets too confusing (highlighted in yellow is canon, highlighted in purple is implied, white is just my own personal interpretation)

male- gourmand, monk, survivor

female- artificer, rivulet, hunter

neither- spearmaster, inv, saint, nightcat

oh yeah! i should probably explain the actual main thing you SHOULD be worried about!

basically, every cycle is around 13 minutes i believe (except rivulets, hers are shorter, but its back to normal when you meet five pebbles) and when the 13 minutes is up, you have to find shelter before everything rains. you have a certain amount of food pips depending on the campaign, if you have full food pips you can hibernate for the night and itll save, if you dont have enough filled it wont save and will give you one extra food pip, you can also eat extra so you have a few food pips already filled for the next cycle!

the main objective of the game is to follow the guide (iggy/overseer, i prefer to call em iggy) to Looks to the Moon and then Five Pebbles (theyre both iterators which ill explain later!!!!!) im not quite sure how the campaigns end, but ill find out trust :3

so basically, the iterators are what created the slugcats (i believe) and gave a few of them purposes, most were to send a message (like how spearmaster was made to be a messenger), also they have funky names like “Seven Red Suns” and “No Significant Harassment”

also some parts of the game are just really funny 😭 like i know its a game thats probably intended to make me mad but i cant help but laugh at the fact that spearmaster canonically got top surgery (in a way) and that theres a dating sim after you finish inv’s campaign

after each cycle you gain karma! (everytime you die you loose karma too btw) which can help you get through certain passages :)

remember how i mentioned that hunters cycles counted down instead of up? thats an important detail to her story :) because she basically has a disease, after the certain number of cycles, it starts to effect you, and death is permanent (fun fact! if you die in hunters campaign permanently you can go into gourmands and find her body (did i forget to mention that some parts of this game are actually really disturbing? i HATE the spiders.))

its such a confusing yet amazing game, its definitely worth it to get it with the DLC, the sound effects of the creatures, explosions, stabbing, literally every small detail is incredible and i LOVE the music !! oh yeah theres also an upcoming dlc with the nightcat… im very excited :3

sorry if i yapped a lil too much or jumped around too much or if this is hard to understand 😔

bonus pictures of the slugcats with the timeline :) i love them a lot

Okay! Wow!! This sounds really cool and interesting!! And also stressful because this sounds like a game I'd be horrible at 😅 (but honestly I'm bad at all games except for LoZ games, but even then I still struggle with them). Thank you so much for explaining it to me! The little slugcats are adorable by the way!!!

Also, never worry about yapping too much to me!! It literally doesn't bother me at all. I love hearing what you have to say!!! And getting long asks of people yapping actually makes me super happy ^_^

I hope you have a great day/night 🩵

decided to post the writing rn since I'm gonna forget later LMAO

lots of writing under cut (the reason there's no enot or SOS is bc I'm a little burnt out :3c.. and ignore misspells PLS I think I made these at like 8pm)

MONK: When the disease first started, monk was helping artificer out with making food when survivor came running to them bleeding with cuts all over, survivor never brought up about the small spot that was bleeding but only that FP was infected with... Something. monk had went over there with spearmaster despite survivors pleads.

they ended up finding a motherload of those... Odd rot mushrooms. and FP who was laying atop one, sleeping presumably. this was CRAZY news!!

so they ended up bringing this up with everyone else, monk had several leads for the disease and theories but mainly has been taking care of his brother and has been keeping the others away from him.

He helps out with the kids and gourmand occasionally.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SURV: Survivor was out gathering resources at the time when he noticed the fungi, he had went over to the area since it was near FP's canister, almost all life was dead or infected with the, fungus thing..

he had decided to turn back when he was stopped by FP.

FP's wires were sparking on his back and head which had made survivor back up, FP had grabbed survivor and slammed them into a piece of metal and then stabbing them with the syringe once numbed, he didnt manage to get the full thing in when survivor slapped him and stabbed him in the back when he was surprised.

Later running back (without falling into pieces of metal while avoiding the fungus), this part is basically the same as the monk part so.. Yeah.

survivor never told them about the syringe as he had "forgotten".

the kids aren't allowed to see them as saint worried about them hurting him more.

he is still resting he says.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HUNTER: Hunter had been hanging out with NSH, this was a few days after the fungus was known and the two didn't know of it as they were taking a small week break from everyone so they could bond.

At the end of it, NSH had gotten a message from FP, FP stating that, "I've found a cure to the Rot, or a massive setback for it!."

NSH hadn't been able to get rid of hunters rot fully, but was open to the idea of it, as long as it didn't hurt hunter, FP confirmed that it wouldn't hurt hunter in any way.

NSH had given the serum to hunter to try and to report back to him after a few days, and hunter left.

Hunter was sketchy of it, but tried it since he ***used*** to trust him the most, he would undergo the side effects for weeks, and never visited the others.

Saint had went to check on him when he was still able to speak in full sentences and told saint to help him, saint said he would and left immediately.

No one came,

and he suffered there for weeks until two of the others(unknown) with NSH went to check and were horrified!! hunter would attack them, but most specifically NSH leaving all three scarred, and hunter was brought back to the others, inside of a cage and then put into containment for testing, he watched them all and learnt how to speak(kind of) and gained some self awareness from the experiments

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FP: FP had been trying to find a cure for the rot inside his canister, when he had created the odd serum, he tried it on pieces of rot which made them dissolve into spores and gasses which made FP sick:(, but intrigued!!, since it had gotten rid of the rot!

he went back to try to make more and used it on more rot, his canister would be filled with spores and yucky gasses!! and ended up drinking some of the serum(Saint.), he would stay inside the canister for weeks, rarely going out, not messaging anyone or doing anything, Saint would visit him over this time. Saint knew what was happening but never told anyone, he encouraged the behavior actually.

by the time the roots had grown all over, he had messaged NSH about hunters rot, and basically same thing.

one of the times he did he ended up meeting survivor there, stalked them for hours until he went to turn around, where he would grab survivor and slam them on a piece of metal, and stabbed them with the syringe, and yeah same thing OK... after survivor had stabbed him, he just laid on a piece of fungus and heard three people leave, and had followed after figuring out where the others are, however never decided to interact.

Not much known on what he is doing now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GOURM & NIGHT CAT: Before all of the fungus shenanigans, Gourmand and Nightcat had kids and would later give them to artificer as they were unable to care for them.

They found out about the fungus about a few days to a week after as they live pretty far away, they now venture closer to their friends to help out with watch for them, and monk every now and then visits them.

Gourmand and nightcat have changed physically since the last time the others had seen them, nightcat developed "ribs" as patterns and gourmand has gotten slimmer, and nightcat has gotten more bossy and leader-like while gourmand has been more grumpy grandpa like.

Not much is known on how they are doing currently or what they were doing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RIVULET: Rivulet had left around the time that SRS did, and left at night unlike SRS.

They never said anything to anyone, not even moon, and everyone fears that the worse happened instead of them just "leaving" like moon keeps begging for everyone to believe.

One of the reasons why they believed her is because they all had a itching feeling that they brought *Something* with them, but there's too much stuff going on to actually figure out what they had taken, other then it was around when they were helping with research.

Not much more known after fungus

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTIFICER: This was only told by the kids, so not everything would be 100% true.

Artificer had told the kids that she was gonna be right back, and left them in the wild, either for them to die or someone to find them, as she never told anyone what she was doing.

she left her chieftain mask at home however, while she always brings it. Which was odd as she never forgets anything, she remembers everything that she forgets and gets it immediately, so why not the chieftain mask?.

The kids and especially Laika constantly sneak out at night and look around where artificer leave, believing that she will come back for them. And have resorted to sneaking over to hunter to ask them, hunter says that he will bring them to her if he's let out, but saint always takes the kid away from him.

they get scolded often and especially by saint and monk, while NSH says that they are just kids wishing for their mother to come back for them.

The kids are currently playing scientist with their plushies.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NSH: moon and nsh at the start of the fungus were trying to come conduct expierments together since NSH thought that it would be a neat way of bonding, when NSH had decided to take a break from everyone, when at the end of it FP had messaged him. Despite not being told that they had gone on a small break.

He had message NSH about a cure for rot, and how it would help or at least step back the rot by a lot more, NSH was reluctant at first but wanted the best for hunter, making sure that it wouldn't hurt him.

Later hunter left And NSH hung out with moon and the other slugcats, but never heard back from him, and later checking on him with two others and ended up getting hurt.

after that incident, he gas helped out with research and had spearmaster knit a pattern of hunter into his cloak, and after finding more fungus-rotted creatures, had made adjustments to his appearence with head spikes and sharp heels for kicking in the creatures.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MOON: Moon around the start of it hadn't heard from pebbles in a while when they would talk all the time.

After hearing the story what NSH told her, she recommended for him to go and check up on him along with some others, she had stayed back but was shocked by the events that had happen to hunter and watched him rot inside of his prison, she doesn't check often on him since it makes her too depressed.

She was worried about pebbles and was heartbroken after SRS and rivulet left, she had weeped inside of her room and later got attachments around the same time as NSH, she had gotten gill like attachments like rivulets to cope along with arm blades when she goes out.

She's the head researcher and is often worrying or crying about the others in her own time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SRS: Not much is really known about what happened other then that shortly after the others had told SRS about FP, he had became more quiet and stayed by spearmaster more often.

Bit later, SRS had told spearmaster that he would go and get some food for artificers kids, and gave spear master a plush of him, and brought a spearmaster plush with himself.

He never came back after that and is most likely long gone, moon refuses to believe that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPEARMASTER: Spearmaster at the start of it was mainly resting with SRS, and learned about everything around the same time SRS did, he had noticed SRS acting odd but never noted it and didn't think much of it.

After SRS had left he spent most of his time with NSH and moon, he had left to go and find FP but ended up getting attacked by other creatures and and gotten some ooze inside his cut, he didn't think much of it other then that it stung, but after not finding FP he turned back and went home.

He swears that he will get a answer out of FP about SRS leaving.

he didn't eat often and would often not eat at all and has been having mood swings recently, mainly being paranoid and angry. Hasn't noticed the fungus growing yet.

he's been helping somewhat with research and the kids, mainly resting and coping with their SRS plushie.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SAINT: and finally. Saint.

Saint has been oddly quiet and has been the one watching hunter.

At the start of the rot fungus, he was with FP, he helped him develop the dose of fungus rot and never warned the others ahead of time, and already knows the cure.

He watched the rot fungus develop and grow inside of pebbles, his canister and the surrounding areas.

The others trust him the most as he's the most honest of the group and is another head researcher for the cure and experimenting on hunter, the others often ask him on any updates about him, he often says no despite hunter being able to talk, which he wasn't able to before.

He keeps a lot of secrets that the others respect his boundaries of. Not much known other then that information.
