  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rain World&lt;/strong&gt;, developed by &lt;strong&gt;Videocult&lt;/strong&gt;, is the true definition of a cult hit. If you look on review aggregator websites, you'll see extremely mixed reviews. However, if you ask in Discord servers, subreddits, etc you'll find so many people with feverish praise. It was only a matter of time before I had to try it out for myself, and this was the winner of a Patreon poll! Shoutout to everyone who voted for it, and shoutout to my wonderful guest &lt;strong&gt;soccr&lt;/strong&gt; for joining me to discuss!&lt;/p&gt;
