What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are releasing the game episodically to give players an early opportunity to experience the story and provide feedback. The first episode is available for free, and future episodes will be paid. This approach helps us incorporate community input and continuously refine the gameplay and narrative.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We intend to stay in Early Access while additional episodes are in development. Our goal is to release new content regularly, but the schedule may evolve based on feedback and production progress.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We aim for the full version to feature more episodes, improved visuals, expanded gameplay mechanics, and a more complete narrative experience. However, the scope may change based on player input and development outcomes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version includes the first episode, which provides a playable introduction to the game's mechanics and story. Additional content is still in development.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The first episode is free. Pricing for future episodes may change as new content is added and the game approaches a more complete state.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We actively listen to our community through forums, social media. Player suggestions help shape the direction of gameplay mechanics, features, and story development.”

About This Game

White Rats is a visual thriller about survival, memory, and betrayal deep inside an abandoned research facility.

Story:
Wake up surrounded by strangers. Time is running out. The system is collapsing. Who are you? Who can you trust? Every decision affects the story, and the characters are far more complex than they first appear.

A young man wakes up in a mysterious underground dungeon. He remembers nothing — not even his name. Next to him lies a girl with a gun. She mistakes him for a kidnapper. In the end, they join forces to find a way out.

Inspired by "Cube," "Zero Escape," and retrofuturistic aesthetics, White Rats combines cinematic storytelling, a dark atmosphere, and gripping narrative. Are you ready to uncover the truth — or will you become just another part of the experiment?

Gameplay features:
In White Rats, you will play as multiple protagonists.
In Episode One, they are Rid and Anna — two young people who woke up together in a mysterious underground bunker.
To survive, you’ll need to:
1. Explore the dungeon to find an exit.
2. Discover and combine useful items.
3. Fight! – The game features a QTE combat system.
4. Solve puzzles.

Episode 1 – Awakening:

In the first episode, Awakening, you’ll meet only a small part of the UF-44 station's inhabitants. Estimated playtime is 1–3 hours.

Enjoy the game!
