Will you become cheese hunter of the month or start the proletariat ratvolution ? Sniff, scratch, dig and learn new rodent skills as you progress through an interconnected world populated by memorable (and often scummy) characters.

A Rat’s Life : Day One  is the first demo of Pieces Games’ debut project : A Rat’s Life : The Cat Conspiracy, a first-person rat adventure clouded by corruptions and lies! *shocking* 

(Demo playtime : around 1:30 to 3 hours.)

• First-person rat action : run on four paws, travel through pipes, talk to your neighbors, climb walls, MOVE LIKE A RAT ;
• Detect odors and dig through walls to gather yum, dirt and maybe even cheese (or just destroy the walls because you're a vermin and destroying walls is what you do) ; 
• Buy props and equip your rat to access new areas ;
  
• Sneak around the Third Wall Cheese District, a borough populated by friends and shady characters.

This demo is the introduction to the upcoming game. It is not a final version of said introduction. PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY AND GIVE US FEEDBACK (we're only two persons working on this, we need help omfg).

Thank y’all.

ABOUT THE UPCOMING GAME 

(ETA: LAST QUARTER OF 2023)

Inspired by the works of Michel Foucault, Paul B. Preciado and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, A Rat’s Life : The Cat Conspiracy is a story-rich first person rat adventure, with a touch of funny hihihi. Play as a working class rodent, and delve into a dystopian society populated by greedy business magnates, conspiracy nuts, revolutionary hackers and monsters. Something shady happened to your loved siblings who work for TERESAL, the cheese hunting empire of Ratatouille Rezos III, and only you can figure it out ! *Pressure*

Manage your schedule to go undercover and infiltrate TERESAL, while thwarting disturbing conspiracies. Escape from cats and fight smaller enemies. Gear up, learn new rodent abilities as you progress, and explore the interconnected map through the eyes of a rat.

A lot of rodents seem to think the end is near. Are they crazy or is a catastrophe on its way ?

-BUGS HISTORY-

- Cat mini game not handing out a carnival ticket: Make sure to download version 7 or above. You don't have to do anything to keep your save file, it will be linked to the new .exe.

- Version 8: Asking the player's permission before opening a browser page with goodies in the secret room, fixed scent that was still active when trash cans were empty, fixed a few typos and minor details.
