Help mat reach home in a Rat's Quest

A Rat’s Quest- the way back home has finally released more footage about the upcoming game. Originally announced over two years ago, a new showcase trailer has been released by developer The Dreamerians. I have to say not since Secret of NIHM have I been so interested in the journey of a rat. Ok, I get that NIHM was about a mouse, but it’s close enough right?

“Mat is a young male rat that lives among a rat commune in an abandoned wine cellar, together with his best friend Toby and other rodents. Having fallen in love with Nat, a female house mouse kept as a pet in the upper floors, he decides to become a Scavenger, for sneaking to his beloved somehow officially. Being from different worlds, they plot a plan to escape to “the outside” together. His overconfidence however puts them in peril’s way, and not everything in the commune is as it seems.”

Through a series of events Mat finds himself not so close to home anymore and now must make his journey back home. On his way he’ll encounter woods, caves, swamps and a host of other animals and dangers.
