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).

Currently have the game roughly 60% complete. The game starts as pretty ordinary sokoban puzzler with a twist, but after a while the game takes a very interesting turn. Don't skip just because it's a sokoban.
不错，难度适中偏简单的解密，小部分需要反复思考，挺好玩的推箱子游戏，关卡充满新鲜感，值得体验 就是这游戏性能开销这么大嘛，小显卡呜呜转
Solid puzzle game. Extremely funny and sarcastic narrator. Such a shame this isn't more popular.

Great variety of puzzles, fun story, doesn't overstay it's welcome
good puzzles
Great puzzles and the story made my laugh all the way through. Great job yet again, Klei.
[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.
Before purchase I though it would be a nice puzzle game with character copied from GlaDOS, but damn the humor, voice acting, puzzle variety and story are good. Worth playing.
good puzzles funny story
Muy divertido y desafiante por momentos, me encantó el humor ácido y satírico que maneja junto con las referencias clásicas del mundo del gaming (el insulto a EA fue completamente necesario). Es uno de esos juegos que debes jugar si te gustan los puzzles y el mundo de la ciencia ficción, y en mi caso personal, si sigues buscando experiencias que se asemejen a lo glorioso que fue el mundo de Portal.
