Hello brave Wanderers!
We've got some great news to share today! But first of all, thank you so much to everyone who participated in our playtest. Your feedback was incredibly valuable, we have closely and attentively watched all the videos and read all the comments and blogs. This has allowed us to introduce various improvements in game events, balancing, and other areas. So once again, thank you so much for participating and giving us the chance to make Songs of Rats a much better experience!
Now, let's move on to the most important point. A playable Demo Version, accessible to all, is now live! It features many changes based on the feedback we've gathered. We believe the difference is significant, so if you participated in the playtests, you might want to check it out and see the progress. And if you didn’t, now is a great time to experience Songs of Rats!
What’s also important is that the Demo Version supports Windows and Linux (including SteamOS, so Steam Deck*) as well!

Here are the details of the Demo Version:
- This version includes all the gameplay mechanics and modes that will appear in the full game, but the story length and sandbox mode are limited.
- A save system is not yet available.
- The full version will also include additional languages and full gamepad support.
- The full version will feature an extra scenario!
* - For Steam Deck make sure to turn on the Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 on your device.
Also, a few gameplay tips:
- At the beginning, try to avoid fights - you might prefer to focus on buffing your character with better gear.
- During confrontations, you can heal your character by using First Aid packs or eating food.
- If the enemy is clearly stronger than you, try to run away!
Of course, keep your feedback coming! There’s still some time left until the release in March, so if you come across any bugs or have any thoughts on how to improve the experience, let us know - we will be more than happy to make improvements.
As a small but passionate indie team, your support means everything to us. We’d like to emphasize once more how much it would mean if you could consider adding Songs of Rats to your wishlist. It’s a small gesture that makes a big difference. Thank you! 😊
