You are being monitored, profiled, and judged in a world where your only interaction with other players is through the feedback they provide to the AI that is imprisoning you.
Lab Rat presents itself as a puzzle game developed using machine-learning technology and showcases the hilarious flaws that result from such methods. This satirical puzzler stars a metrics-obsessed AI that will monitor, profile, and taunt you as you progress through more than eighty satisfying and (supposedly) algorithmically-generated puzzles. Your puzzle performance and survey response data will be fed to this (theoretically) unbiased machine, and shape its view of humanity.
Maneuver objects, divert lasers, and manipulate electricity to overcome 80+ satisfying and surprising puzzles.
Outwit a metrics-obsessed machine intent on heckling you for your humanity.
View and contribute to in-game analytics that are updated in real time with real player data.
Avoid becoming another data point for the next tester's play-through!
While Lab Rat alludes to the dangers of unchecked modern technology, the puzzles themselves are lovingly hand-crafted. This adventure is directed and primarily crafted by Gwen Frey (Creator of Kine), features environment art by Mike Snight (Lead World Designer on Bioshock Infinite), writing by Matthew Burns (Creator of Eliza), and puzzles by Lucas Le Slo (Beloved experimental puzzle designer).
