About Rat Catcher

Welcome to the thrilling world of Rat Catcher! In this game, you take on the role of a skilled rat catcher, venturing into various locations to rid them of pesky rodents. Armed with your trusty oil lamp, your mission is to navigate through dimly lit areas, carefully managing your lamp's light and avoiding the menacing monsters that dwell in the shadows.

As a rat catcher, your primary objective is to collect all of the rats. Each level presents a unique setting, such as eerie basements, haunted houses, and mysterious sewers, where rats have overrun the premises. Your keen senses and quick reflexes will be put to the test as you strategically position yourself to capture the scurrying critters.

One of the key challenges you'll face is the limited fuel for your oil lamp. The darkness conceals both dangers and valuable resources, so you must be mindful of how you use your light. It's essential to plan your moves wisely, conserving lamp fuel when you can and strategically illuminating areas to spot rats and potential threats.

While your primary focus is on rat collection, be prepared for encounters with lurking monsters. These formidable creatures thrive in the darkness and will stop at nothing to impede your progress. Evade their clutches, outsmart their cunning tactics, and find inventive ways to navigate through the treacherous areas.

✦ AI summary

Players praise this compact game for its charming rat-themed concept, simple yet engaging mechanics centered around managing oil and bullets while evading enemies, and excellent value for the price despite its short 2-3 hour playtime. The main complaints focus on limited content with only three maps, performance issues on some systems, and lamp oil depleting too quickly, though players express hope the developer will expand on this solid core gameplay formula.

this is perfectly serviceable

Worth every penny. I did not expect to love this game as much as I did, the first 15 minutes actually scared me with the monsters. After that, the simple mechanics of the game were really fun to master. Managing your oil and bullets is tricky, and the fact you move slightly faster than the enemies gives you the ability to juke out your enemies. I really hope the developer builds on this concept. they have a very strong core mechanic that they could build a larger game off of. It's got about 2-3 hours of content if you're into trying to improve your clear time, but at this price that's hard to beat. TLDR; the rats are cute, I'm pretty sure the ratcatcher just snuck his own pet rats into these mazes to get a job. 10/10

My computer doesn't like this game, but I do. Neat atmosphere, fun simple game play. There are only 3 maps and it doesn't take long to complete them, but it's a fun little thing. I wish there were more maps tho
