Dive or Die: Children of Rain Releasing in July

Developer Drop Rate Studio and publisher Dear Villagers have announced that Dive or Die: Children of Rain will release on July 21, 2026. The game, billed as a “2D Lovecraftian underwater roguelite”, will be available for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. A demo for the game is currently available on Steam.

Dive or Die: Children of Rain is set after years of “Black Rain” drowned the world. The few survivors are thrust into a race against time, as the eldritch Rainmaker has given humanity the task of recovering sacred idols hidden deep within the “Abyssal Pool” within forty days, or to be made extinct in the final Flood. Players will need to manage their camp of survivors while undertaking dives in the depths, where they will need to overcome limited oxygen, potential injuries, and madness.
