Songs of Rats is a dark indie RPG inspired by choose-your-own-adventure books. Create your hero, enter the ever-changing maze, fight for survival, and uncover hidden mysteries. Choose your path wisely, upgrade your gear, find companions, and discover the truth behind the reality that surrounds you.
Since its launch on Steam earlier this year, the game has gained a solid fanbase, received very positive reviews, and seen several free updates that introduced new features such as gamepad support, a lorebook, and various gameplay adjustments.
Now, the time has come for the final free update, which adds THREE new campaigns to the game, dramatically expanding the playtime. In total, Songs of Rats now features five distinct campaigns, each focusing on different themes and offering a unique gameplay experience.
Here’s a rundown of the most important features and content you’ll find in Songs of Rats after this update:
Each campaign includes unique events:
-
"Our Last Hope" – You embark on a journey from your village in search of supplies to save your community.
-
"Searching for Balance" – You take on the role of an adventurer venturing deeper into The Wreckage, looking for a well-paid job in Vortex City.
-
“The Ways Is The Most Important” (NEW) - No set path and no clear goal, hat you find at the end depends entirely on how you’ve played.
-
“After The Silence” (NEW) - This campaign introduces a new core mechanic: the Clan Panel. As you explore and scavenge, you’ll collect scrap - and instead of hoarding it, you’ll invest it directly into your clan’s growth.
-
“Trial Time” (NEW) - In this campaign your choices will determine whether you earn your place as a caravanner and whether you and your friends live to see the road ahead.
A free-play mode where you can decide how long to explore The Wreckage - for 25, 50, or even 100 days.
