Lab Rat is a hand-crafted narrative puzzler masquerading as a machine-generated video game. This satirical adventure stars a metrics-obsessed AI who will monitor, profile, and guide you as you solve over a hundred unique spatial problems. Over time this AI will develop a hilariously-misguided understanding of humanity based on your performance and survey response data.
While Lab Rat pokes fun at the absurdity of algorithmically-generated interactions, this game is lovingly hand-crafted by a team of expert human developers. Lab Rat is directed by Gwen Frey (creator of Kine & co-creator of The Flame in the Flood). It features environment art by Mike Snight (Lead World Builder, Bioshock Infinite), writing and programming by Ian Bond (Programmer/Developer, Bioshock 1), and puzzles by Lucas Le Slo (beloved experimental puzzle designer).

Reviews
在等沉星之序发售期间有讨论推荐到这游戏，抱着反正不太贵的心态入手玩玩，结果只能说远超预期。游戏体量不算太大，不过也算没有水关了，新机制引入的速度很快，因此整体体验还是比较流畅的。也就是推箱子类型游戏常有的需要倒序解谜却不提供草稿功能略微难受。 总之，就算原价不愿意买，打折那也确实买不了吃亏了。 剧情方面密集玩梗也是一大亮点，但是这块就不剧透了，大家自己体验吧。结局略微套路但至少氛围感是给你拉满了。 中文翻译质量算是个小槽点，就，看得出来确实是人工翻译的，但也确实不太通顺，属于翻译味比较重的那种翻译风格，而且少量剧情以外的配音就没给字幕了。当然，可能对注重剧情的玩家来说差别不大就是，游戏里的剧情主要在玩欧美那边的梗，能看懂的英文估计也不会那么的差就是了。 最后，SteamDeck原生分辨率高画质基本稳60帧以上，只可惜默认设置直接全低了，分辨率也不对，需要手动改一下。
Fun little puzzle game with pretty good humor and writing!
Great variety of puzzles, fun story, doesn't overstay it's welcome
[h1]La única IA [strike]que me cae bien[/strike][/h1] Creo que hacía mucho que no me reía tanto con un juego. Muy entretenido y original. Mi enhorabuena a la directora, Gwen Frey, (que también es la que le pone voz a S.A.R.A.), entre otras muchas cosas.
Fun, Portal-esque game, with fun banter and interesting puzzles.
good difficulty, cool humor
解谜游戏。纯推箱子。需要较强的逻辑推理能力。支线的恶趣味背景加分。
good puzzles
Great puzzles and the story made my laugh all the way through. Great job yet again, Klei.
