Rain World: Design Works | Now Available for Pre-Order

The search for shelter. The search for answers. The search for home.

Introducing our newest addition to the Design Works family, Rain World!

In collaboration with the developers Joar Jakobsson and James Therrien (the pair known as VIDEOCULT), we’re bringing you over 200 pages of its development story, from the earliest builds through its Kickstarter campaign to the modding and fan communities that have sprouted up around it.

If you pre-order a Deluxe Edition within the first 48 hours, you’ll receive signatures by the VIDEOCULT development team to add to your collection!

Written by Grace Benfell, Rain World: Design Works celebrates the 10th anniversary of the game’s release. With support from Akupara Games, we’ll be mapping out everything from its narrative that’s scattered throughout the ruins of its captivating world to its fan theories and critical analysis.

Available until 30th November, the Deluxe Edition of Rain World: Design Works comes with a special selection of deluxe extras to the core book!

Rain World’s Deluxe Edition comes housed within a premium raw greyboard-style presentation box to protect your copy from the elements!
