Some of the games I researched when designing and developing the characters in game.
Rat Simulator
Rat Simulator is a survival stealth role-playing simulator game set in a suburban neighbourhood where you play as a rat to spread the plague across the area in order to build a rat’s paradise.
The game consists of various quests like infecting specific areas in a house whilst avoiding rat traps, this is similar to what we have in mind in the sense of completing quests around the house. However we want to give the player the choice on what effects the quest will have.
Mouse Simulator
Mouse simulator allows you to play as a mouse in a massive forest and cottage, I watched this games gameplay to figure out what our games rat character and movement should look like.
Dishonoured
Dishonoured was also a game I looked at for inspiration for my rat design and movement. Dishonored is an immersive first-person action game that casts you as a supernatural assassin driven by revenge.
It has a completely different theme and look to our game but the rats have interesting movement and design as well.
Catlateral Damage
Catlateral damage is the most similar game to ours with its low poly style and gameplay. In Catlateral you play as a cat in a house with the objective of causing as much chaos as possible, knocking over house objects and causing an overall mess.
