  • Summary: 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 felt 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 belovedMat 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 felt 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.

    In a series of unlucky events, Mat finds himself alone, far away from the house. He must make his way back home, overcoming a journey across woodlands, caves, and swamps, defying overwhelming danger of a winged, poisonous, and scale-bond variety. With a rivet for a sword and nails as throwing daggers, Mat will brave a world to which he is unwelcome.

    Help the Scavenger to get back to his friends and save the rat commune from a threat that is bigger than every cheese in the world!

    A Rat’s Quest: The Way Back Home - Season 1 is the game players wished licensed titles bought back in the 90s-2000s were going to be. It feels like a full Pixar movie to play and participate in. The production value is through the roof across every single area, and no compromises were made to tell the best story in video games in a long time. A Rat’s Quest: The Way Back Home - Season 1 is definitely a must-buy for those who love 3D platformers and great narrative experiences.

    A story about a rat in love is probably not going to appeal to the audience. The gameplay is not the best, and the uncomfortable controls make it even worse.
