About the Game

ABOUT THIS GAME

You are no ordinary rat. As the smartest experiment in the laboratory—with a scar to prove it—you are about to execute the ultimate escape plan.

In Cheesty, the human world becomes a gigantic playground filled with equal parts wonder and peril. From high-security labs to your final destination (the legendary rodent paradise you’ve heard so much about), you must use your agility, instincts, and the very tools of your captors to outsmart security and break your way into the outside world.

KEY FEATURES

  • Rodent Wits: Is a scientist blocking your path? Look closely at your surroundings—the environment is your greatest ally.

  • Infiltration & Stealth: Hide in the shadows, crawl through pipes, and learn enemy patrol patterns. A single misstep will alert the staff.

  • Superior Sniffing: Use your sense of smell to guide your path and discover unique collectibles. Though... it won't always be that easy.

  • Dynamic & Varied Levels: Master classic platforming jumps and movements tailored specifically for a rat, and survive frantic alternate sections where you must outrun other dangers.

  • Art with Personality: Immerse yourself in a unique visual narrative through pre-level comic strips inspired by high-contrast comic book art, creating an unforgettable atmosphere of danger and adventure. This, paired with a distinct hand-painted visual style and an original soundtrack composed entirely in-house, ensures an unrepeatable experience in every single level.

ALL THIS AND MUCH MORE AWAITS YOU IN CHEESTY!!!
