Figured it out. I must say, that was a true test of my mental fortitude LMAO. A lot of trial and error, but I managed to get both endings! I'll be posting my playthrough soon! Thanks for the tips!!
Haha. Thanks for pushing through, It is definitely not the easiest game and with very little hand holding if any, plus a disorienting design by choice. Might do some little tweaks to make rats more useful or such in a little future update. Thanks for feedback and for playing, look forward to your playthrough!
