- I love this game. The only thing that it's missing is some music, even if it's a light touch of it here or there. Just something to keep the ambiance going.
- A nice platformer! The idea is very clever, the voice acting is fitting. Would like to hear some music in the game, but that is secondary. The experience was interesting and I wanted to see more. I want to see where you guys take this. The art style and the aspect of hiding in shadows is clever. I like the detail of the alchemist being a red eye rat, it fits well with the persona. Thank you for your hard work! Well done!
- Really like the idea of a kingdom of rats going on quests and living their lives within the walls of someone's house. Story feels solid and the mechanics are well executed. Make more games!

Crawl around in toilets, fling yourself from bookshelf to countertop, and sneak past natural predators in this thrilling rat-person 3D-platformer!
The wall-dwelling rat kingdoms have discovered their newest obsession — The Blue Cheese of Life. Its powers are shadowed in mystery, but one theme remains centerpiece — immortality. As the newest agent of King Rattus, you set out to find this coveted food, but are you alone?
Simple controls typical of other 3rd person platformers (WASD, mouse, spacebar, shift). You can also sit for fun by pressing Q.

This is so lovely; I really enjoy games where you enjoy animals. The jump had me laughing for a while! Cute! Also, the menu in the bathroom was a nice touch. PD: We also tried to achieve the PS aesthetics but could not make it right; you did quite well. I will have your game as a reference!
Loved your game, great exposition and story telling, kept on playing for story and for the parkour challenges. Also very scary when the cats get you
