Press release:
Indie dev Aran Koning (one part of Dutch indie collective Sokpop, the team behind Stacklands and Grunn) has launched his mega viral asymmetrical horror co-op RAT GAME on PC! Play either a pack of rats trying to sabotage a restaurant, or the Chef determined to stop them. Or team up in co-op only mode and take down the dreaded ROBO CHEF.

About the Game
Chef has been trying to exterminate the rats, leaving them no choice but to ruin his restaurant. Let the battle begin!

The Rats work as a team, nibbling through wires, clogging toilets, hacking the staff computer, and doing anything they can to get the place shut down. The Chef tries to exterminate them, listening for the tell-tale sound of scrabbling claws so he can catch them with his bare hands and chuck them in a cage. Their battleground is The Restaurant, a warren full of shortcuts and hidden scurryways. There may be an actual gun somewhere in the mix. Don’t worry about it.

Rat Game is an asymmetrical comedy horror with dynamic sound design, a detailed map, and squeaky proximity chat. Last one standing wins.

Features:

Asymmetrical co-op

1 Chef vs 2-7 rats

Play against a human or a robot controlled Chef

Proximity chat

Interconnected map with many secrets
