Rats in a Cage News

What's next?

Hey, fellow caffeine-addicted office rats,

Thanks to your reports and feedback, we finally have a stable mind and version on both PC and MAC. Now we're trying to figure out what should be our next focus. We still need to bring Rats in a Cage to a wider audience. Do you have colleagues at work or friends who would play the game but are still missing that *something*?


We'd love to hear your opinion to help us decide!


Community suggestions so far:
  • Kids-friendly censored version
  • Steam Deck version
  • New language localization
  • Mobile version
  • Downloadable/Playable OST



Please let us know your thoughts!

Bug fixes

We've started 2025 with a bug-fixing patch.

Once again, there were a lot of tiny issues and tweaks along with some major fixes:
  • Game Over screen is properly removed in final Promotion
  • You can no longer end in Infinite loop after being stabbed
  • BONUS doors are now properly open/closed after load/entering
  • You should no longer partially lose progress after switching from DEMO to a release version
  • After-load wrong music bug has been fixed



Many thanks to

MAC version and Rats in a Cage found a way to each other!

[h2]Good news![/h2]

After some violent code-wrestling, good old-fashioned googling, trial & error testing, and pendulating between despair and hope, we’ve finally fixed the MAC version. I know! This is so exciting reading for all the PC users!



[h2]Bad news! [/h2]

Unfortunately, Steam does not allow us to make two separate Mac versions. We had to choose between old Intel-based Macs and new arm-based Macs. We chose the future and went for arm-based (sometimes better known by their rapper name: “silicon” M1, M2 or M3) Macs.

Neutral news![/h2]

Another bunch of bugs were fixed with the newest update. Big thanks to everyone who reported them!



PS: It’s the (smashing) pumpkin(s) spice latte season again. Rats in a Cage does not judge your coffee choice - only your character.

Who let the Rats out? We did!

[h2]Weather report:[/h2]
A storm of excitement is expected with a possibility of brain melting later today. The fun index is high so make sure you have some free time. Don't expect any easy breeze. A warning has been issued for a possible coffee flood in your stomach. Why? Beacuse Rats in a Cage was released today!


[h3]Grab it and play it sooner RAT-her than later.[/h3]

All that's left is the hard part - getting the game to fellow puzzle lovers. If you like the game, please tell about it to your friends and family.



Rats in a Cage probably isn't the "love at first sight" game. But the second sight could make it. Its beauty lies within. It’s one of those games you need to play to fall in love with it. If you or your friends haven't decided yet, you can always try our DEMO for free!
