Rat Game Sets October 30 Steam Release For Chef Vs Rats Asymmetric Horror Comedy
Sokpop Collective announced on September 10 that Rat Game will launch on October 30 for PC via Steam, with Japanese in-game text supported according to the store page. The game is an asymmetric horror comedy in which one chef faces two to eight rats in a restaurant. The rats run around the kitchen, office, bar, storage room, and restroom, using small bodies to move through space under furniture and holes in walls. They sabotage the restaurant by tampering with the breaker panel, clogging toilets, and hacking PCs, and they win by completing a set number of tasks. The chef catches rats and throws them into cages placed around the restaurant, can peek under furniture to search, and can use a gun. Trailer footage shows rats solving math problems at a PC and entering a safe combination, and captured rats being freed from cages by fellow rats. The developer describes a hidden cheese storage room somewhere on the map. Estimated play time is about two hours. Rat Game was officially announced in February. Sokpop Collective is based in the Netherlands.
