Rat King: A Gritty Descent into Urban Madness

Rat King is an atmospheric indie horror game that plunges players into a nightmarish world of decay, paranoia, and vermin. Blending psychological horror with grotesque visual storytelling, the game takes place in the sewers and forgotten corners of a decaying city—where the line between man and rat blurs. With unsettling environments, disturbing sound design, and a slow-burning narrative, Rat King delivers a unique experience that’s both terrifying and thought-provoking.

Story and Setting

Welcome to the Underground

In Rat King, you play as a city maintenance worker sent to investigate strange power outages and strange smells coming from the sewer system. What starts as a routine job soon becomes a descent into madness as the tunnels reveal disturbing graffiti, broken structures, and cryptic clues.

You uncover remnants of a forgotten society—one that worships the "Rat King," a monstrous figure made from the tangled, living bodies of hundreds of rats. The deeper you go, the more you realize that the Rat King is not just a myth… and it might be watching you.

A Tale of Madness and Metamorphosis

As the story unfolds, your character begins to hallucinate and question reality. Flashbacks, notes, and environmental storytelling reveal a larger conspiracy and a history of disappearances linked to the underground. The game teases the idea that the Rat King might not be supernatural, but the product of collective urban decay and human neglect.

Final Verdict

Rat King is more than just a horror game—it's a descent into the underbelly of the human mind. It’s creepy, atmospheric, and intelligently disturbing. If you’re looking for a game that combines urban horror with psychological depth,
