Rats in a Cage

About

Rats in a Cage is a role-playing puzzle game where you navigate a cutthroat office hierarchy by exploiting workplace dynamics. You play a mid-level employee armed with coffee, rumors, and passive aggression to sabotage coworkers and claim their achievements. Each level tasks you with surviving a skill assessment test while avoiding detection from a hostile AI that actively disrupts your progress. The gameplay blends resource management with social manipulation, requiring you to balance alliances, reputations, and timing to advance. The game’s AI antagonist stands out for its unpredictable interference, breaking the fourth wall by manipulating elements outside the game window to frustrate players. Its sharp dialogue and escalating hostility mirror the absurdity of corporate bureaucracy, earning praise for its biting humor. Early feedback highlights the clever use of workplace satire and the satisfaction of outwitting a system designed to fail you. With tactical depth and a darkly comedic tone, it offers a fresh twist on office dramedy themes.
