### 2/5 — Não tem o idioma descrito

*2026-07-04*

Baixei o jogo porque falava que tinha português e na hora da escolha não tinha

### 2/5 — Arcade game in rabbit’s den?

*2026-02-15*

Not happy. I play adventure and escape games. Now stuck as I can’t progress pass the second level of the arcade game (giant fighter ship) in the rabbit’s den - I did complete the first level. Pretty sure I paid for this game. I wasn’t expecting to need the reflexes of a 14yo boy to play Rain City.

### 4/5 — A decent escape game

*2024-04-16*

This is not an adventure game because there really is no storyline. You have a quest. The quest is to find your sister and escape. Thats it. But what differs from other escape games is the puzzle types and drawing style and play action. It’s not a 2-D room with a clock in one room and a time-piece in another with the correct time on it. It’s one puzzle at a time to advance. You collect items like an adventure game and use them in the proper place or order. The issue with the harder puzzles is there is no clues, or I couldn’t find any, just guessing. The English translation isn’t bad but it’s not perfect, but you get the idea. The puzzles don’t contribute to the story but they are inline with your environment. For the most part, you don’t have to go too far from the puzzle to solve it, no traveling from room 1 to room 99 and back again, the answer is right there. I like the animal theme and cuteness. I’m not an escape gamer but this one has better puzzles than most. Good amount of play time.

### 3/5 — 일러스트랑 빗소리좋은데...

*2024-04-13*

명작이나 수작은 아님.  내 아이패드 11프로가 개 구려 그런건지 몰겠으나 조작감이 구림 . 그리고 문제풀이도 너무 일관성없고 그냥 막 생각나는데로 덕지덕지 끼워맞춘건가 싶고.. 진짜 공략안보고 이걸 어케 하냐 싶은게 몇개나 있음.  갠적 취향은 사모로스트, 러스티레이크임

### 2/5 — Overbodig

*2023-11-26, version 1.6*

De besturing is slecht en de rest is al niet veel beter.

### 3/5 — enjoyable, buggy

*2023-10-02*

enjoyed playing but not the top from this publisher, i had a really hard time accurately tapping on items and actions so it was frustrating, but would still reccomend but maybe on an ipad or computer not a tiny iphone

### 4/5 — Jeu sympa

*2023-09-21*

Plutôt joli et amusant, rien de révolutionnaire quand on connaît déjà Machinarium , mais pour le prix j’avoue que j’ai passé un bon moment .

### 5/5 — pretty puzzler

*2023-02-27*

very enjoyable puzzler with beautiful art. there are several arcade-style games that a little tricky, so if you want a pure point-and-click then this one isn’t for you. I had to consult a walkthrough about 3 times to finish—no built in hints!

### 3/5 — Feels unpolished

*2022-12-24*

Great art.  Good story concept.

Controls are poor.  Sound design is lacking, with dead space here and there.  Near the end, the puzzles seem to lose their design and pacing, with having to go back and forth between screens and trying to guess which items to use where.

### 3/5 — Die Atmosphäre ist nett, das wars dann auch

*2022-09-17*

…irgendwie wirkt es wie ne Kopie von Etwas das man schon kennt. Da fesselt einen nix und die Rätsel sind manchmal so sinnlos aus der Luft gegriffen. Steuerung war bei mir super.

### 5/5 — IT'S A GOOD GAME

*2022-09-15*

I really don't understand why it's gotten some poor reviews but Rain City is a good game from an excellent developer. It's much better than the 3 stars it's currently at. A strong 4 stars is where it should be. Definitely worth playing.

### 3/5 — Can’t continue the game

*2022-09-04*

I can’t continue with the game because of the fighter arcade game that I can’t seem to win. It’s too bad because I was starting to really like the game. We need a skip option for these types of mini games. I’m not sure why they added that as it detracts from the games.

### 3/5 — Good fun but not well designed

*2022-08-28, version 1.6*

I loved the puzzles but the interface was frustrating to use - it was hard to control where the character moved. Also a level at the end which wasn’t point and click and was stressful.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2025-09-05, version 3.0.63*

The controls for the boss battle are absurd.  When I connect my Xbox controller only movement works.  None of the buttons work.  Good job ruining what could have been a good game.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2025-03-21*

Only the art is good. Everything else is horrible! Terrible gameplay, terrible controls, terrible story! It does not worth a penny!

### 1/5 — Clunky and lazy.

*2024-12-14*

I finally realized Cottongames just aren't fun. Character gets stuck on every object or wall, I’m not yet finished, but am on my 8th 'how to reach it' puzzle. Nonsensical, but in a bad way. I think Cottongames has become lazy and grab the cashish.

### 1/5 — Cat disappeared!

*2024-11-18*

This is the first game I have ever played where a bug has completely killed my progress. I say that as somebody who has played a lot of puzzle games. As you can imagine, I’m not particularly happy about it!
Up to the point where the cat disappeared in the drain and I couldn’t progress any further, I’d actually quite enjoyed the game albeit it was not particularly challenging. The graphics are good though and these guys have done plenty of other good games.
A number of reviewers mention the controls and they are a bit clunky, but they also didn’t detract massively from the game for me.
I have messaged the developer and if they provide a fix, then I will update my review.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2024-03-15, version 1.6*

Automatically get sent out the jail’s camera room without doing anything so I can’t progress the game. It’s sad that a singular apple glitch stops such a beautiful game.

### 1/5 — Dialogue noise

*2023-10-02*

The sound of the dialogue, that you have no ability to skip, is unbearable. It’s such a cute looking game and the atmospheric sounds are lovely then this sinister attacking noise accompanies the loading script. I couldn’t find a menu to turn it off I just can’t tolerate the noise to play the game. ISOLAND series the dialogue has a cute chipmunk sound which is charming, why then turn to this metallic clanging sound byte? I wish this could be turned off so I can enjoy the game please tell me how to do this. Many thanks for your creativity and charm otherwise

### 1/5 — Please fix

*2023-08-23*

Hey All,
I love all your games but on Rain City there’s a glitch. I am stuck in the jail section. I’m supposed to be able to walk up to get apple from guard (his back is facing me) but I am told that I should come back at another time and thus unable to get apple to lure super rat to chase out the guard. It just pushes me out without giving me options to take the apple. 
I’ve looked through the walkthroughs and that’s what your supposed to do but game isn’t allowing me to do so.

### 1/5 — 残念すぎる

*2022-06-28*

この作者のゲーム派好きで全部やりましたが、今回は社長とロボで戦うバトルシーンがありますが過去にそういったものがないのでその系が嫌いな私としてはそれだけでも裏切られた気分ですが、バトルシーン入れるならば操作性をよくしないとあそこでリタリアする人が多いのでは？と思います。
玉が来た時に上に飛んで逃げるしかなくても玉がゆっくりなために着地したときに当たりますし。早く上に上がりたくてもゆっくりすぎて上が見えるまでそこにいるしかない上に上にいけばいくほどわざとそういう設定にしてるのか？操作性の悪さがひどくなり飛ぶことも横に歩くこともできなくなり、その場から動けなくなります。有料なのでクリアしたくて何十回もしましたが何回しても上にいくほど動かない。
このシーンがなければ面白かったし。今後ゲーム出てもバトルシーンがあるかもなのでやらないと思います。

### 1/5 — Won’t download.

*2022-04-12*

Paid for but won’t download on my third generation iPad Air.

### 1/5 — Naja

*2022-04-11*

Steuerung gewöhnungsbedürftig, langweile Dialoge und die Rätsel wirken wie zufällig zusammengewürfelt. Der Preis von 1,99€ entspricht etwa dem Wert dieses Spiels.

### 5/5 — ติดต่อทีมงาน

*2025-07-12, version 3.0.63*

ได้โปรดทำภาษาไทยได้มั้ย ฉันติดตามซื้อผลงานของคุณทุกเกมส์เล่น แต่ยากที่ภาษา ช่วยทำภาษาไทยได้มั้ย

### 5/5 — Красивый интересный квест

*2025-01-19*

Отличный классический квест в атмосферном рисованном стиле. Бесплатный. Рекомендую всем квестоманам.

### 5/5 — Lovely game

*2024-12-18*

Really enjoying this lovely game, another great from the cotton team!

I just don’t understand the reviews over the in game arcade game, lots of great point and clicks do this and I for one love the idea, this game was brilliant, great value for money, lovely story and characters, much better than most out there of the same price, it really made you think and got harder as it progressed, I would buy a sequel in a second......please stop griping people.
Edit: I absolutely love this game the setting and calling it rain city really brings to mind films like blade runner or the film where the town was at the bottom of the lake, it was perfect to me and I’ve replayed it a lot, probably my favourite cotton game. Thank you for your creativity. I can’t wait for your new game tomorrow!

### 5/5 — Nice Game

*2024-07-04*

It’s an enjoyable game which is I found to be at the right difficulty level. The art is beautiful and it adds onto the interesting storyline. I would recommend the game to anyone who likes solving puzzles without sacrificing the narrative aspects. However, it would have been helpful to have a hint button, as there were times I got stuck, and the solution to the mushroom forest seems to be arbitrary. Otherwise, great game!

### 5/5 — 剧情有一点点短

*2024-05-09*

画风是我很喜欢的类型 但个人比较喜欢一开始下雨的剧情端 适合一个人玩 很美好 后来进入矿洞之后整体就偏难了 而且一直在室内感觉稍微有一点压抑 解了很久的谜本来以为最后可以看见雨城变好再在小雨中散散步啥的 结果直接就结束了 稍微有一点点失落 总的来说游戏还是很不错的

### 5/5 — 只能强制退出吗

*2024-05-02*

游戏是挺好的，但退出的时候找不到退出选项，只能强制关闭应用程序

### 5/5 — So Enticing!

*2023-10-13*

I lived the Rabbit poop on the toilet! So quirky! I loved the diving under water that was cool! And I loved the ending of the big robot I had to kill! Loved the different styles of button presses I had to endure in order to complete a puzzle. So good!

### 5/5 — Such a good game

*2023-07-23, version 1.6*

Smart, entertaining, cool

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2023-03-25*

I got this game three days ago and it was amazing, the story book graphics really make you feel in the vibe, the story was amazingly written, the puzzles are not that hard for a beginner like me, and the plot twist at the end was amazing, I highly recommend this game, it is really fun, and is only for two dollars. This is definitely one of the best games Cotton Games ported from pc.

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2023-03-12*

THIS IS SUCH A FUN GAME!!!!!! People say that they can’t get pass the arcade game but it wasn’t that hard I just finished playing and it took me about a week. There where some parts I had to look up how to do but for the most part I could do it by myself. The plot twist is crazy and I did not expect it. It’s actually so fun. You need to get this game. Please get this game. Don’t listen to the bad reviews. ITS SOOO FUNNNNN!!!!!
