Ratcore

Ratcore is a linear, puzzle-filled precision platformer in which you play as a rat trying to escape a city. You do not know where you are or what your purpose is, and the journey leads through unfamiliar places and deeper mysteries with few answers. You use tools and New Age Technologies to get through difficult terrain, puzzles and chases, while debuffs make the journey harder.

Mechanics and challenges

You platform with precise movement and solve complicated puzzles as you uncover the mystery of your surroundings. Mechanics include changing size, double jumping, altering your speed, portals and other science-fiction elements. Challenges include difficult platforming, puzzles, chases, boss fights without combat, and other encounters.

The journey

The route runs from the factory’s cold floors into dark and damp surroundings. The game warns that bright areas can conceal dark secrets, and suggests there may be others like you. More than 100 unique music tracks accompany the journey.
