Songs of Rats

About

Songs of Rats is a minimalist RPG where you navigate a labyrinth that shifts with every decision. You play a rat in a decaying world, relying on courage and resourcefulness to survive. Each choice impacts your path, with consequences ranging from minor setbacks to permanent loss. The environment reacts to your presence, reshaping itself to test your resolve. Combat is tense but sparse, focusing on stealth and timing rather than brute force. Music pulses through the levels, often fading as dangers approach, creating an eerie backdrop to your journey. The game's stark visuals and haunting audio design stand out, turning silence into a warning and every sound into a clue. Player communities note the high difficulty and moral ambiguity of certain choices, with some calling it "the most stressful rodent simulator ever made." While short on combat, it leans into psychological tension and environmental storytelling. Early access forums highlight its divisive charm: 72% of preview players praised its atmosphere, while 28% called it "unfairly punishing." Either way, it leaves an impression.
