Rats in a Cage is a corporate satire puzzle game. As a typical corporate rat, you manipulate your coworkers with coffee and gossip and take credit for their work in order to beat every level of a skill assessment test which is controlled by a rude AI that goes beyond the game window to stop you.





In the life of every corporate rat, there is nothing more important than coffee! Whenever your coworkers have a chance to get one, they will run towards it. You can make them go wherever you want by giving them access to coffee.











Who doesn't love juicy gossip in the office, right? Everyone wants to know who is getting fired and who is having a romance. Similarly to coffee, you can manipulate the path of your coworkers by spreading gossip, but this time you can place them anywhere!






Just remember: no promotion goes without a dose of humiliation.
























It wouldn’t be much of a corporate game if you couldn’t stab your coworkers in the back, right?






What do you do with inconvenient deadlines? You push them to block someone else of course!






Too many emails in your inbox? Yeah, we've been there. Postponing work that is standing in your way is always a viable option. You can pretend you have never received an important email, assign it to someone else or act like you just don’t give a damn.




In a series of single-room puzzles, both your intellect and your morality will be tested by the "AI". As a typical corporate rat, you will take advantage of your coworkers, manipulate and sacrifice them for your own gain, take credit for their work and lose all your remaining dignity to get to job you want. Coffee will naturally play an important role in this game within a game as well as gossips, emails, deadlines, backstabbing and more. Who knows? Maybe you will even attend one of those endless meetings or climb the corporate ladder by sucking up to your boss. Just like in any corporation, you’ll have to endure a lot.




You applied for a job in a corporation. Due to a large number of applicants, the suitable candidates will be sorted by an entry test, which is designed and controlled by a rude AI that will create a unique relationship with you and use unorthodox ways to discourage you from completing the test.
