About

From the Rain is a survival horror game where you barricade your house against an evolving enemy. Each level is an hour-long battle to keep the generator running and doors locked as the creature outside learns from your defenses. You allocate limited resources to fortify weak points while managing power outages and timing attacks. Decisions matter, a miscalculated upgrade or failed distraction can mean instant death. The game’s tension comes from its adaptive difficulty. The entity grows faster and smarter each hour forcing you to constantly revise strategies. Developer Josh Hill’s solo effort shows in the tight mechanics and relentless pacing. With 12 escalating levels and no multiplayer options it’s a short but stressful solo challenge. Early reviews note its minimalist approach feels refreshing compared to overcomplicated survival games though some call the learning curve steep. Best played in short bursts if you value your sanity.

Storyline

In 'From The Rain' you will be alerted of a civil danger emergency which is effective in your county. Defend your house from the entity that attempts breaking in by restarting the generator and charging each lock for every entrance. The entity is smart. It will watch you and attempt the best strategy possible for breaking in. For each hour (or level) of the game, the entity will grow smarter, stronger, and faster. Reboot the generator and charge the locks. Be smart and strategic with every choice you make, because it matters.
