About Lab Rat
Lab Rat is a narrative puzzle game in which a metrics-obsessed AI monitors, profiles and guides you as you solve over a hundred spatial puzzles. The AI heckles you for being human and gradually forms a misguided understanding of humanity based on your performance and survey responses.
Solve the puzzles
You maneuver objects, divert lasers and manipulate electricity to overcome more than a hundred surprising, genre-bending puzzles.
The AI's analytics
The game satirizes algorithmically generated interactions through in-game analytics that update in real time using real player data. Its AI uses your performance and survey responses to shape its understanding of humanity.
A human-made game
Lab Rat presents itself as a machine-generated game, but is hand-crafted by a team of human developers. Gwen Frey directs the game; Mike Snight creates the environment art; Ian Bond handles writing and programming; and Lucas Le Slo designs the puzzles. Frey created Kine and co-created The Flame in the Flood; Snight was Lead World Builder on Bioshock Infinite, and Bond was a programmer and developer on Bioshock 1.
