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.
