Rat’s Quest
A new look at A Rat’s Quest: The Way Back Home is out here with new gameplay to show us just what A Rat’s Quest will be filled with
In the past you may or may not have heard about a title called A Rat’s Quest: The Way Back Home that was in the works. So many games get put out there that you would not be judged if some flew past your radar. It happens as it did with this one from The Dreamerians and HandyGames. Partially because A Rat’s Quest was announced a few years ago for the PC and consoles and then things went on the silent side of it all. This is why I am glad to be back here with the latest update for the game and a look at the gameplay that this platformer will have for us to use as we help this rat do just what the title suggests. With a few twists of story along the way too.
As the name implies, A Rat’s Quest: The Way Back Home will have us in the role of a rat named Mat that is also a quest to get back home. During that quest, we will be using all of the normal open-world and platforming experiences in the game to move about the world to do so and to save Mat's love, Nat. None of these are the best of names, but did you want more when it came to a title like A Rat’s Quest? Silly or not, we will find ourselves using our tail to swing from, other items to fend off against the likes of toads and other creatures trying to eat us, and then scurry up to where everything is going down. It looks like a fun and lighthearted adventure that we can all enjoy. Have a gander at the latest gameplay to see just how far the game has evolved for us and to get us excited for when it does launch out there.
A Rat’s Quest: The Way Back Home — 2021 Showcase
Mat is a young male rat that lives among a rat commune in an abandoned wine cellar, together with his best friend Toby and other rodents. Having felt in love with Nat, a female house mouse kept as a pet on the upper floors, he decides to become a Scavenger, for sneaking to his beloved somehow officially. Being from different worlds, they plot a plan to escape to “the outside” together. His overconfidence however puts them in peril’s way, and not everything in the commune is as it seems.
In a series of unlucky events, Mat finds himself alone, far away from the house. He must make his way back home, overcoming a journey across woodlands, caves, and swamps, defying the overwhelming danger of a winged, poisonous, and scale-bond variety. With a rivet for a sword and nails as throwing daggers, Mat will brave a world to which he is unwelcome.
Help the Scavenger to get back to his friends and save the rat commune from a threat that is bigger than every cheese in the world!
