Action-Adventure Meets a Cozy Love Story

The wait is over for the most ambitious cozy indie title to emerge from the Mexican development scene. HandyGames and The Dreamerians launched A Rat’s Quest - The Way Back Home | Season 1 today. The release marks the first half of Mat the Rat’s perilous journey, with the concluding chapter, Season 2, planned for release in late 2026.


Mat’s journey begins in the relative safety of an old wine cellar, but his love for Nat takes him into the heart of a giant’s household. This season follows Mat’s rise as a Scavenger, the discovery of a dark conspiracy within the rat commune, and a dramatic betrayal that leaves him stranded far from home and desperate to return. It is a cozy story of small heroes facing massive consequences.

Features

  • Master the Environment: Use Mat’s agility to turn household furniture into vertical playgrounds and hidden pipes into secret highways.

  • Hybrid Gameplay: Switch between side and top-down perspectives to truly feel the narrowness when navigating walls and under floorboards.

  • Popcorn Movie: Enjoy a story full of adventure, drama, and comedy, with hours of cinematic cutscenes, professional English voice acting, and a movie-grade soundtrack.

  • The Journey Continues: While Season 1 concludes at a narrative breaking point, Season 2 will expand the world into treacherous woodlands, caves, and swamps to finish Mat’s quest.

A Rat’s Quest - The Way Back Home | Season 1 is available now on STEAM, EPIC GAME STORE, and GOG priced at only $ 19.99 / € 19,99. Join Mat on his journey for love and adventure today!
