A Rat’s life: the Cat Conspiracy

About This Game

A Rat’s Life : The Cat Conspiracy is a first-person rat adventure populated by greedy business magnates (lame), conspiracy nuts (alarming) and revolutionary hackers (kinda cool).

FEATURES:

• First-person rat mechanics : Run on four paws, travel through pipes, detect odors, dig, climb walls, BE A RAT ;
• Story rich action adventure : This game comes from the minds of a solodev and a novelist. The strengths of those two bozos combined make for a story rich script filled with action oriented gameplay ;

  

• Utility-gated exploration of an interconnected world, with day-cycle system : Progress through the interconnected world by collecting gear and learning rodent abilities. A day cycle system, inspired by Zelda: Majora’s Mask, adds a layer of complexity to the player’s exploration and decision making.
• Adult animated dark comedy : The rats look cute, and they sure are, but the complex and unforgettable characters of this game have to deal with sociopolitical issues and often use swear words and violence.

MORE ABOUT THE GAME:
We tell each other stories in order to live. But are these stories passively describing our world as it is, or are they shaping our reality and feeding the power dynamics around us ?
*Brain fart*/*Existential dread*

Inspired by the works of Michel Foucault, Paul B. Preciado and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, A Rat’s Life : The Cat Conspiracy is a story-rich first person rat adventure, with a touch of funny hihihi. Play as a working class rodent, and delve into a dystopian society populated by greedy business magnates, conspiracy nuts, revolutionary hackers and monsters. Something shady happened to your loved siblings who work for TERESAL, the cheese hunting empire of Ratatouille Rezos III, and only you can figure it out ! *Pressure*

Manage your schedule to go undercover and infiltrate TERESAL, while thwarting disturbing conspiracies. Escape from cats and fight smaller enemies. Gear up, learn new rodent abilities as you progress, and explore the interconnected map through the eyes of a rat.

A lot of rodents seem to think the end is near. Are they crazy or is a catastrophe on its way ?
