PLAYTEST 0.2.0LATESTOCT 20, 2026Accounts, and room for sixteenSign in to the launcher with your email or Steam, invite your friends, and First Rain now holds up to 16 survivors at once.
  • LAUNCHERDryline accounts. Sign in with an emailed link or the six-digit code in it, or through Steam. There is no password. Account settings has your name, your email, Steam, and signing out of one launcher or all of them.
  • LAUNCHERYour key on your account. Sign in and your playtest key moves onto your account; the game then downloads as you. A key works once: anyone else trying it is told it is already claimed.
  • LAUNCHERInvites. Manage keys gives you five invites. Each link works once and stays open for 48 hours; you see when it is claimed, never by whom. Friends you invite get five of their own.
  • LAUNCHERRedeem a code. Type a key or an invite code, or paste an invite link, from the account card.
  • LAUNCHERThe game on Windows. The Windows launcher now installs the game on Windows 10 and 11. Windows and Linux survivors share First Rain.
  • SERVERUp to 16 survivors on First Rain. The player limit is a server setting now (max_players). A full world says so when you join, and your own seat is always kept for you.
  • LAUNCHERSigning in no longer reads as refused. A new download pass reaches the server within seconds; the launcher waits for it instead of saying the account was refused.
  • SERVER0.1.0 can no longer join. Press UPDATE in the launcher first: an older game is told it is out of date.
