I recently beat the Saint's campaign in Rain World: Downpour and was blown away by the ending and the moments leading up to it. As a semi-thank you to Videocult and the other Downpour developers, I thought I'd try my hand at one of my favourite songs in the game, the title theme.

Why must you all hurt my heart in this way
THE COMPANY
You know, kind of makes you wonder if 5P intentionally drove everyone away so that he didn't have to face the consequences of his actions. Yet just like the rot was literally eating him away, his guilt was eating him away Metaphorically. Hence why by the time of Saint, he just 'Appreciates the company'. Can't keep up an act anymore, as theres no reason and nothing left to act for.
I don't think he drove everyone away, the equipment was failing after thousands or who knows how many years...
He couldn't communicate with anyone. And that's the fate of every iterator. Eons spent alone. And then their can falls, and then they spend eons as husks. Perhaps they get buried alive... turning into mountains.
@pezvonpez eh, it’s probably a bit of both. It’s clear he drove them away at first, he even said himself he didn’t want to have to face SRS after the way he acted. However, the deteriorating comms meant after a certain point it became significantly harder to contact Seven Red Suns, compounding the issue and making it easier to simply wallow in his misery than try to reach out for help.
He certainly wasn’t going to ask Moon, she was in even worse shape than him, and entirely by his own fault. He did assist Moon with her resurrection, but that wasn’t going to wash away what he did, and without her can she couldn’t even connect with local comms anyway, so contacting her was a moot point.
He pushed them both away, and then couldn’t reconnect even if he wanted to without a lot of effort someone it his mental state wouldn’t be able to follow through with.
@@pezvonpezHe canonically shut himself off from the others before and during Moon's collapse. That is why the Spearmaster was sent.
Seven Red Suns was trying desperately to contact Five Pebbles, but FP only misunderstood, becoming even more distraught, angrily reminding Suns that he was in this mess because of him (which is true. Suns told Pebbles the secret to circumvent the taboos placed by the ancients, and Moon interrupted him during the process, causing it to go disastrously wrong and create the Rot.) throwing the Spearmaster from his chamber and destroying his Overseer.
At this time, I think it's safe to say that this is the Iterator equivalent of FP having a mental breakdown. He's been through so much, as a painful cancer spreads through his body, all he can feel is anger, fear, and confusion. Emotions that are alien to what can best be described as a god. It explains why he speaks the way he does, that he is "not a bug"- it's because he feels like one, and SRS' message only served to amplify this in his distraught state. To the Iterators, you have to remember that their perspective is different to ours. Mere cycles are but single moments to them. They aren't hours- they are the blink of an eye. I do not think FP meant to harm the Spearmaster, at least not out of ill intent, but rather because he simply did not have the time to wait to extract it carefully.
Rainworld doesn't have a lot of fans.
But damn the fans are amazing.
True.
Sadly not everyone is able to enjoy this kind of art in the way we enjoy it.
Finally a community that isn’t filled with idiots or pointless drama
This game is the hardest game I've ever played, I haven't finished the game yet but it's a glorious work of art that will last very likely forever
@@A_ghost_leviathanmaybe the idiots parts
five pebbles' reveal in saints campaign, from the missing part of chimney to the crushed remains of shaded is probably one of the best parts of a game I've ever experienced. it's only through truly understanding the world the game created that this whole thing came together, and it is a work of art
YES i hear so many little people talk about this but the visual storytelling is AMAZING
from the chimney canopy reveal with the sound cue that sent shivers and fear down my spine, and then realizing shaded is completely crushed underneath, and then you realize, pebbles complete collapsed. this game is amazing.
Most would think
"Yeah let's go to the wall this should be easy as sain-" sees missing part "oh.....oh... OH SHIT"
I was listening to this in the background and I just thought
"Man that sounds like a heart beat, imagine the song ends not with the heart beat but with the final few seconds being absolute sile-"
And the heart beat stopped before I even finished the thought, absolutely terrifying and beautiful.
The art. GOD THE ART. It made me sob. Like very hard.
“Such a strange creature it is,
With such a weird symphaty,
It knows my name, it understands me,
Yet i know, it cannot help me...”
Same!! And also glorious poem 😭❤💝💖💕
last line is denial
if he had moon intellegence he'd know about the creature more and realise that yes, it can and will help him
also can someone reply to this with how i can spoiler this? thanks
@@narrator5953 write spoiler at the top then insert enough spaces until the comment will say "read more" then write what it is that is a spoiler in that section
Nothing... here... nothing... left...
This really explains how open and barren Rain World is
Barren, yes, but this image is the opposite of open.
Yeah what do you mean open?
You know, the rain ambience in the background and the warmer colors in the artwork makes me imagine an alternate version of the Saint’s campaign where the world isn’t frozen over
We getting Rain World: Echoes of the Eye DLC with this one
Honestly rain world and outer wilds have so many similarities in their storyline (ex: warp core delivery kinda reminds me of rivulets campaign.) there needs to be more media depicting the both of them at once tbh
Aside from ascending and echoing, we know little to nothing of Saint’s conduct while he was physically alive. He’s an Echo before we even pick up the controller…
Did he force-ascend anything that could ascend itself in true reality (before becoming forever trapped in Echo reality)? Were 5P and BSM force-ascended? What about all the other iterators? We will never know…
But his endless sacrifice will earn every sentience to come after the truth behind their immortality, and perhaps insure he’s the last ever soul to be eternally trapped in-between existence and nonexistence.
As another person said, "The shepherd of souls does not follow his flock." Saint tried to ascend at the end of everything, only to be rejected by the void. It never wanted him.
@@circler_ That makes sense, I like the idea of the Saint being a creature that descended or something to help other creatures achieve ascension.
@@FrenchToastWaffle keep this in mind when thinking about rain world lore : you're never the main character, you're just some rat in a big world.
@@xen5558thats not true for about half of the slugcats
Saint: "Blows up pancakes with mind"
Poor Karma guardian; his fuckin’ pancakes are gone
Can someone explain just the community's inside jokes/memes
@@konn3787 no you’ll get it when you beat saint😅
@@The-EJ-Factor I already beat saint.
Wait OHHHH I get it now. Then the gardians block the pipes, are those the pancakes?
Kallen (saint) descends into the Glue Vats (void sea) theme
Absolutely Beautiful
Agreed
Yep. This is doing waterworks on me.
"bro, i've never felt goosebumps, what do i do to make them appear?"
me:
Even if Five Pebbles is an arrogant bastard, you can’t help but to feel really sorry for him.
You can feel sorry for him because unlike other arrogant bastards Pebbles learned he was wrong, but there is nothing he can do to fix what he did.
And we gotta remember in terms of campaigns years and years had passed of him realizing what he did, so he definetly went through character development
this song makes me cry remembering everything that happened this world is not the same it changes at ''every'' campaing its freaking good the soundtracks im crying soo hard its bealtyfull i love this game man.
Me just imagining my slugcat in the background watching these two
I really like the art. Well made and also cute
Jesus Christ this is so gut wrenching for so many reasons. The hardly noticible main motif along with almost a heartbeat like sound almost to give off the vibe of pebbles barley breathing but still alive. Still here. It’s still pebbles after all this time, but it isn’t. This honestly gives off the same vibe sparkling pendulum does
KALLEN IS A RAIN WORLD FAN?!?!
didnt even realize that was Kallen lol
Perfect song for the current state of the world….
5P DESERVED BETTER
He may have deserved the structure collapse, but he deserves a collapse like Moons. Her structure is atleast still (mostly) intact. Pebbles, though... his is riddled with the decayed remnants of his mistakes. Everywhere he looks, he's reminded of his horrible fate. He deserved a quick collapse, with his structure staying intact, not a slow crumble, his structure being eaten away by the rot...
ALL OF THEM DESERVED BETTER

Ok so i thoght this was the perfect sad song for when moon was half collapsed in arti's campaign. all the pain and suffering she had to indure.😢
Such a beautiful game
damn right
Tears
OH MY GOD THE ART AND MUSIC…ASTOUNDING 😭😭💖💕. Hits so hard…sad Sundown :,). Aaaaughh oooaahh eee aa the feel I can’t 😭💝. The art is exceedingly sad too, poor Pebs :(. He deserves better 😭.
Realizing now that vibing with him sorta follows the lesson taught with his story, that you don’t have to go through it alone. It’s blizzarding cold outside, and the once powerful god reduced to this fragile form sits huddled in his once brilliant superstructure, which has also been broken down to nothing but a rusty shelter from the storm. He’s alone, lonely, and doomed, but you can choose to rest with him. He doesn’t have to wait for death in the cold alone, and after learning his lesson he allows you to rest with him, realizing this. Perhaps he learned his lesson too late, but I think it’s sweet he accepts the company ❤.
you use more emojis than my mother holy fuck
Yes...
Yep...
That's an example of how time goes by, and you cannot do anything about it, but just to remember about what you will never be able to repeat or take back, eventually, you will fade away with your memories and you will become the memory that will slowly fade away, never to be remembered ever again.
OW MY HEART OWCH
Bro why are you making me cry 😭
i really like this
When i got to this room, I didn't feel anything.
I thought I'd be all emotional seeing ol' pebby like this, but it was just nothing. I felt vindicated in a way; this giant spiteful AI god is basicly dead, and after all his horrendous mistakes and passive-aggressive demeanor towards me, he's gotten what he finally deserves!
Coming back to put him out of his misery is what truly broke me.
i was moreso disappointed honestly. wasn't sure exactly what i expected, but my first encounter with him let me down. mainly because the Silent Construct and in general the entirety of FC and Husk were absolutely gigantic and he was very far from any echo.
bruh... I'm just sitting here all cuddled up in my blankets, and I see this... I just feel so cold now.
Perfect...
This is incredible. I wish it got more attention.
Truly masterpiece...
very bootiful
this song gives me goosebumps
This makes..for a real banger movie teaser animatic.
For now..ill enjoy the little scenes in my head
I mean, 5P didn't deserve better, but man seeing him like that made me feel like he did.
Nah, I think he did. His intentions were never malign, he was just extremely desperate and lashed out when he felt his only chance of escape was being threatened by those that were trying to help him.
@@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544 He will also kill you if you hand out in his room for more than a few seconds.
@@vadandrumist1670 Yeah, kill some random animal, like you kill insects that wander into your house. Does that make you evil?
I feel like you misunderstand Rain World. You're not special. Or, well, you weren't... until Downpour.
@@pezvonpez I would indeed consider it evil if I killed an insect if I knew it was already smart enough to understand even the concept of trade and had just befote granted it the ability to perfectly understand human speech, since at that point I'd say the insect is more of a person than not.
I feel like you misunderstand ethics. It does not matter how much better or important one individual thinks they are compared to another, an intelligent creature killing another intelligent creature for the most petty of reasons is immoral, and that immorality only increases with the increased respective intelligence of each individual involved.
However, 5P knows that slugcat will reincarnate, so...
Oh no poor pebbles! He kinda deserves this but I still feel bad for him
Even he doesn't deserve this much... his structure collapsing? Yes, he would deserve that, but to have his structure slowly crumble, slowly being eaten by the rot, and not even being able to die? Just sitting there, barely functioning, not even able to make full sentences properly.. even Moons collapse wasn't this horrible.
The part of the track at 1:29 from 2:09 reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus OST, mainly the final part of this which starts around 2:00 i think
"you cannot help me, You cannot even help yourself"
Rain World is an absolutely amazing game and this is an amazing remix.
Ps if put the song in reverse you would have remixed a completely different song, called The Cycle, it doesn't appear in the ost, which was likely a mistake
They believe in salvation, in the apocalypse. They live for the future and destroy the present. And then they talk about heroes who only thought about simple things... forever.
Damn
where does this play again?
Sundown plays during Survivor and Monk’s opening cutscenes
@@showbizstudios655 thats just not true
Top ten ways of becoming sad:
Anybody else notice that this sounds like Random Gods? :)
It does! Random uses the sundown leitmotif :]!
god this is so incredibly good. im making a mod for the game and honestly this would fit perfectly into there, would you be interested in that?
Sure thing, feel free to
