You play in first person, clutching a rat in a strange setting that gradually opens into a surreal horror experience. The rat reacts to your actions and sometimes speaks, while the environment and tone shift around you.
Shake the rat to build an action meter, then squeeze it to spend that charge on interactions such as opening doors. Exploring rooms, activating objects, and following clues carry you forward, with some light puzzle elements along the way.
The linear, single-player story unfolds through the rat’s dialogue, environmental details, and changes in the spaces you explore. Progress comes from using the rat and paying attention to your surroundings rather than developing a character or managing complex systems.
Recurring praise centers on the unusual rat-shaking premise and its shift from dark comedy into psychological horror. Players who enjoy the game often point to its uneasy atmosphere, sound and visual design, and strange, compact story. Some reviewers instead found the shaking repetitive, the later pacing or story unsatisfying, or the horror elements ineffective.
