A Rat’s Quest – The Way Back Home is a Romeo and Juliet-esque story about a rat and a mouse – and it’ll be coming to Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC in 2021.
Telling the tale of Mat, the hero of the game, you’ll have to help him try to find a way to his beloved Nat, a fearless mouse being kept as a pet. See, together, they’re planning their escape to the freedom of the outside world. Obviously though this journey is full of dangers, with one of them being THE CLAW.
If you have ever wanted to experience a giant’s world from the perspective of a tiny hero, then A Rat’s Quest is going to be the game for you, as you head off into a towering dungeon with the promise of adventure, to play hide and squeak with fearsome creatures and slash them with your shiny rivet or fend them off with your sturdy button.
