Rat's Lair

Rat's Lair is a horror game set in a section of an abandoned suburb. You enter the lair of a local creature and use stealth, puzzles and items to find a way through the small open world.

The creature

The creature is controlled by AI that adapts to your playstyle. It follows a daily routine, searches its lair, reacts to sounds and can set traps for you.

Explore and adapt

The map contains dozens of items that interact with you, the creature and the world. You can complete the game in different ways, and similar items may have alternative locations. The map can change as you progress, depending on your actions and playstyle, so an object may not always be in the same place. Time changes during the game, and flashlights are useful.

Puzzles and discovery

To progress, you solve simple puzzles that can involve using objects in the right sequence, finding keys, paying attention or taking a creative approach. You can move freely around the abandoned suburb and explore points of interest for useful items.
