Size Isn't Everything

A Rat's Quest Brings Rodent-Scale Action to PC this April

Giebelstadt, Germany, March 6, 2026 – Publisher HandyGames and Mexico-based developer The Dreamerians are proud to announce that A Rat's Quest - The Way Back Home | Season 1 will officially launch on April 3rd, 2026. This cinematic action-adventure, featuring a voice cast from Horizon Zero Dawn and The Witcher 3, will be available on Steam, the Epic Game Store, and GOG.

In a world built for giants, every house feels like a fortress, and every uninvited creature becomes a terrifying threat. Players step into the paws of Mat, a reckless but devoted rat living in the safety of an abandoned cellar. But Mat isn't content with crumbs, as he risks his life daily to reach the "forbidden" upper floors to visit his beloved Nat, a pet mouse. A Rat's Quest is more than just a platformer; it's a high-stakes tale of love and adventure seen through the eyes of a small, furry hero who shouldn't be underestimated because of his size.

Key Features

  • Rodent-Scale Navigation:" Experience "The Giant's World". Climb towering furniture, squeeze through wall gaps, and crawl under floorboards in a world where everyday objects are gargantuan obstacles.
