Songs of Rats

good one

Boring. It's overly simple.

Like the endless quest books from back in the day, but with a larger variety of outcomes. The game has a simple yet pleasing-to-the-eye art style. It doesn't seem like it should hook me so hard with that "Just One More Turn" feeling and yet it does. I like games that do more with less and Songs of Rats certainly does that.

pretty good even though the shaman begins to speak polish if you speak to him twice before leaving camp.

Bardzo dobra gra paragrafowa. Polecam.

Buggy, very easy to end up to end up in situations where buttons do nothing and you're unable to progress.

Dark, and gritty. I'm realy enjoying the setting. Nice rpg-ish gameplay loop.

I love this game, before anything else is said, I want to say that. This gets my endorsement 100% However there are some bugs and issues that can be hard to overlook for some people. The story of the game is good, and had me wanting more from this world, the art is great, and leads back into me wanting more from this world, the exploration requires more planning than I was originally expecting, and the decisions have tangible consequences. The music is also a standout, and feels right at home with something you'd hear in a horror sifi adventure. Now, there are some issues. Not major ones-at least to me-but ones that should be known before going into it. Features from the demo, such as naming your character, aren't present in the full game. Although the music audio can be turned down, in game sounds effects cannot. Sometimes the image won't match the text of what you did, or what room you explored. (Although that's rare.) The music feels like it's from a horror sifi adventure, so it can feel kind of generic or uninspired to some. I don't mind it, but I'm sure that's a negative to some people. Until you understand the back and forth you need with combat and item management, the first few runs will seem like a day at the ball crushing factory, and other the other hand, when you do get the flow of it all, it can feel repetitive choosing the same few good options in a slew of bad, but survivable ones. Outside of the top notch VA work in the opening cutscene when you start a run, it is entirely unvoiced. I only bring this up, because it made me think I would have VO for important moments in the story. Obviously, VA work is not, and should not be free, but it caught me off guard. All that being said, from my understanding, this is a two dev team, and I absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love what they've put out so far. So take all my negatives with a touch of salt, as I'm sure these issues are to be addressed, and more content and refinement is to come, when the devs are able to do so.

Hello Im Skill Incarnate and Welcome to My Games Review Series. My reviews cover indie games that i have bought, had gifted to me and have been provided by developers for review. In this episode I check out a Post Apocalyptic Text Based RPG called Songs Of Rats. This game was developed by Tesseract Games, and is published by Salient Games, who released the popular horror game Gore Doctor. Songs Of Rats takes inspiration from classic choose your own adventure novels, with the player taking the role of a scavenger, who has chosen to leave their colony in search of the vital resources needed to save the people. Your adventure will take you across the Wreckage, a maze like expanse filled with priceless treasures, advanced technology and untold dangers. Each decision you make will uncover weapons and items to aid you on your quest, or lead you into combat against mutated creatures, technological horrors and other desperate scavengers. You can also find other survivors who can be convinced to join your party, bringing their own set of unique abilities to aid your quest The games minimalist style and unique gritty art style matches the Sci-Fi Post Apocalyptic Setting perfectly, along with the roguelike nature of the game, where each run presents its own unique challenges. Players who are fans of old school Choose Your Own Adventure Novels like the Lone Wolf Series will definitely enjoy Songs Of Rats. I recommend giving it a try.

The game is interesting, with a good graphic atmosphere and gameplay that's easy to pick up because it's so simple. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a fun little game without too much ambition. However, beware if you're looking for a complex experience: the content is fairly light (I finished the game 100% in 3 hours, even if the achievements bugs don't give me credit), there are actually very few game mechanics, and it's very (VERY) repetitive. The game would have benefited from a greater variety of content, so as to not constantly redo the same rooms, and to make the stats useful (they're only useful for two things, and it's apparently pointless to increase them above 6 or 7, which makes runs above the 25-30ish day boring). It's a bit overpriced in Europe for the length and content, but I enjoyed it.
