Posted on July 18, 2019 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop
Mexican studio The Dreamerians and publisher HandyGames today announced A Rat’s Quest: The Way Back Home, a new action-adventure game. The project is in development for Switch and other platforms.
We have the following overview and trailer for A Rat’s Quest:
A Rat’s Quest – The Way Back Home is a Romeo and Juliet-esque story about a rat and a mouse. Mat, the hero of the game, is trying to find a way to his beloved Nat, a fearless mouse being kept as a pet. Together, they’re planning their escape to freedom: the outside. But beware – this journey is full of dangers, one of them being THE CLAW.
Experience a giant’s world from the perspective of our tiny hero, Mat the rat. For you and me, an old closet is only that – but for Mat, it’s a towering dungeon with the promise of adventure. Play hide and squeak with fearsome creatures and slash them with your shiny rivet or fend them off with your sturdy button.
