RAT GAME
One chef. Up to eight rats. One very bad night at the restaurant — an asymmetrical horror comedy co-op from Sokpop Collective.
The Premise
Asymmetrical horror comedy co-op for up to 8 players. Play either a pack of rats trying to sabotage a restaurant, or the chef determined to stop them. It goes live October 30, 2026 — right on time for Halloween.
One chef vs. the swarm
A solo chef guards the restaurant against a coordinated pack of 2–8 rats. Every match is a head count battle — catch them, cage them, keep the kitchen alive.
Proximity voice chat
Only nearby players hear you. Whisper close or risk being overheard — sound carries just far enough to betray a rat in the vents.
Interconnected restaurant
An open, linked floor plan — kitchen, bar, office, storage — with hidden passages the rats can slip through while the chef patrols the front.
Halloween horror-comedy
Dark enough to tense up, silly enough to laugh at: candle-lit dining rooms, gnawed wiring and a very frustrated chef with a flashlight.
