Bad Rat Tax

About

Bad Rat Tax is a chaotic taxi game where you play as a rodent driver navigating open-world zones. Your job isn't just about speeding through traffic, you must handle passenger conversations mid-drive, responding to requests, complaints, and random questions. The game blends fast-paced racing with timing-based dialogue choices, making every ride a test of multitasking. Controls are tight but forgiving, letting you focus on balancing speed and conversation without feeling overwhelmed. The standout is the absurd yet charming premise, a rat working as a taxi driver in a world that ranges from mundane to bizarre. While the game leans into its niche humor, the real hook is how conversations actively shape your route and passenger satisfaction. Early builds from TheJojambo show a polished grasp of indie game pacing, with players on forums noting the "stressful but oddly satisfying" blend of tasks. It’s a small-scale project with big ideas, proving that even a simple concept can feel fresh when executed with confidence.
