Oh Rats

The penultimate week before the project’s end, we had an exhibition in the WSA cafeteria, so we dedicated as much time as possible to getting everything ready for it. This included, but was not limited to,

We also spent some time on marketing. A poster was made for our game, and we spent an afternoon making a promotional ad for TikTok under the guise of a street interview on rats. Halfway through, an enormous rat (Xane in a rat mask) crashes the interview, and makes the recording his own!
