A downloadable game for Windows

As a rat, your choices in life are limited. However, in the attic, there is opportunity for peace, civility, and companionship. Perform your daily tasks, talk to others, and choose how to interact with lives that are different from your own. But remember: your actions will always have consequences, and with so many rats around, it's only a matter of time before you're found.


WARNING: This game is poorly optimised due to my inexperience with UE5 and coding. I recommend you only proceed if your PC can handle large executables because mine could barely TT I am working on a fix for this!! 

This game was created as part of my Game Design and Production Honours project over the course of 3 months in an effort to see if the lived experience of disability could be replicated using game mechanics in a way to allow players to understand said lived experiences. Previously, I only had rudimentary UE blueprinting knowledge, and had only touched Blender once. Therefore, things may be slightly buggy or unorthodox. 


SEPARATED VERSION RELEASED 11/06/25: SEPARATES EACH CHARACTER ROUTE INTO A DIFFERENT FILE TO EASE STRAIN ON MACHINES - HOWEVER, THIS DOES MISS THE ENDING SECTION OF THE GAME

Install instructions

As the game is made in UE, you will need visual studio to run it (I think). The game should give you a popup to allow for download
