Description
Rats in a Cage is a corporate satire puzzle game. As a typical corporate rat, you manipulate your coworkers with coffee and gossip and take credit for their work in order to beat every level of a skill assessment test which is controlled by a rude AI that goes beyond the game window to stop you.GAMEPLAYIn a series of single-room puzzles created by the AI, both your intellect and your morality will be tested. As a typical corporate rat, you will take advantage of your coworkers, manipulate and sacrifice them for your own gain, take credit for their work and lose all your remaining dignity to get to job you want. Coffee will naturally play an important role in this game within a game as well as gossips, air conditioning and more. Who knows? Maybe you will even attend one of those endless meetings or climb the corporate ladder by sucking up to your boss. Just like in any corporation, you’ll have to endure a lot.Use coffee to manipulate your coworkers
History
We are a four person family team. Me and my older brother are the brains & muscles behind the development. My wife is creating the art and graphics while our oldest brother supports us with code consulting.
The passion for games has burned in our veins since we were young. After several years in Warhorse Studios working on Kingdom Come: Deliverance we finally made our own game!
At the beginning I wanted to create a puzzle/riddle game which would use unorthodox
ways to challenge and tease the player. Over the time it organically evolved into
darkly funny corporate-themed puzzle game as it is today. We created a very rude
game within a game that might be even too rude for some people, but it’s the part
of creating a very unique love-hate relationship with the player.
