I bought some bundle back in 2020. Every so often I go thru, find something that looks neat from it, and dedicate a night to enjoying some wild experience.
There are so many quotable little bits in this cute little walking simulator about rats. So, go forth my wayward mammal. Enjoy drinking the punch and talking to the locals.
subway rat made eye contact with me and said "join us. when the train comes we slide under the tracks and feel it rumble over us like a warm thunderstorm. we live forever and we love to live" I said no thank you I am too large he turned away from me I cried
obtained in the racial justice bundle, and i've played it MANY times since! this game is one of the ones i really enjoy picking up for a couple hours, running around in the sewers and playing with rats- this most recent time i played was in a call with some friends!! i had NO IDEA there'd been a big update!! so exciting!!!!!!! i love. oh oh i love this game it feels like coming home after a long day, i love talking to every single rat every single time i enter a room. i can't wait to play it again and find even more things <3
i also made a rat oc 'cause of it. their name is Plate.
this was SO fun to play . i especially want to compliment the platforming - it felt so funky and weird in the best way , and the only real punishment for failing is at worst not getting some fruit / cheese ; as someone with motor control issues , i was worried it'd be too frustrating , but it was honestly just too weird feeling to really make me angry ( if that makes any sense lol ) . definitely going to check out your other works , and super pumped for the remake ( if you're still planning that ) !!
When you said confusing gameplay you really meant it. I had fun wandering round exploring and the character art is so cute!!! And the dialogue made me laugh, especially the rat milk. Stupid and charming <3
Ok I completed my... 2 and a half hour run? in honor of The Big Update.
the most joyous note is that it WORKS ON MAC! Huzzah! (on my previous playthroughs I've had to borrow my brother's big honkin overpowered pc to play because my macbook wouldn't let me click on anything? Wack. Well that's fixed now. Its not left click (or two finger click) to interact for me, its the G key. That could be from me fucking around in the keybinds trying to make something work ages ago but whatever its playable on my computer now.
Your sludge game is through the roof! or at least the parts you added with the new slime. Mesmerizing.
EXPLORING CAVES WITH RAT HIEROGLYPHS HELL YEAH. I'm... having feelings about it actually? I had similar ones last year when finding the secret lab. I know this is just a silly project but i like... really want there to be lore about these rats and their society. (and what's up with the mermaid? I want to help her.)
I want to thank you for sewer rave being one of the small joys in quarantine 2020 hell, and for making it even better in 2021. Augh is a bangin song.
I know you don't think you'll work on this again, but if you do find it in you to rebuild it with your newfound Unity knowledge, that would be very epic and cool of you.
Hello! I love this game and everything about it, but I'm wondering. What font do you use for the dialogue? I've been wanting to use it to make something kinda neat based on the style of this game.
Heyo! Lady gamer here! This game was far more of an experience then I had thought it would be, I thought it would be a plodding mess through a poorly made game, but I was wrong! It's strange, dynamic, and so utterly random you can never guess what's through the next door. One question... WHY ARE THE DEER SO UNSETTLING?! Check out my let's play!
today I fervently recommended this to my friend with the words "it's a walking sim with bonus spices. it's an experience and it's not a profound one, but it sure is one. I love it to death." this game lives rent free in my head and I cannot vocalize why
This isn't the first time I've written a love letter to this game. But truly, I cannot express how much I appreciate what this work of art has given me.
This newest update is impeccable. The lore is absolutely riveting, and I've gone as far as to create some fan-theories with my friends. There are so many questions I have, that I can only hope will eventually be answered -- no rush of course -- Sewer Rave: Resewered is something that should only be worked on in the best states of mind. Please take care of yourself!
And now, some thoughts I've had:
========= (SPOILER WARNING)=========
- Who are we, the protagonist, the player? Not a rat, surely, but if not that, then what?
--> The cats have acknowledged our non-ratness
--> "What are you? A stoat?"
--> "Just got back from Rat Practice" (there are others like me)?
(amongst other quotes)
- Why are the rats so... large? Why are the cats so... small? And bipedal?
Why have the rats, in chronological (I assume) order, worshipped:
-Fire
- Bacteriophage (??? why?? is this representative of the RATS becoming scientific?? does this explain the rat scientist?)
- RADIOACTIVE WASTE ???? (actually they did not worship this. it was poured on them)
Is this why they are so large?
Have the rats also worshipped that statue by the power-up room? It looked holy and exalted, which is like, totally sick, brah.
- Is the sludge radioactive? Is this why we are consistently in a state of being TRIPPED OUT? I mean, we do drink it, like, a lot.
- Who is Jambi? Jambi seems to be found only in the lowest levels of the sewer: are these the true effects of prolonged sludge exposure?
- Junji Ito rat-shaped holes?? no way.
--> BLUE????? sludge. This one's gotta be radioactive.
(worry not my friends. I will collect evidence and create a theory on the true rat lore. there is more to come.)
========= (END OF SPOILERS)=========
Thank you so very much, Autumn Rain. I cannot describe quite why I love this game as much as I do, and yet I always find myself coming back to it.
With 12 hours on Itch, and even more from the game downloaded independently, I would consider this nothing less than one of my favourite games. Definitely my favourite indie game.
There is just so much to discover, and so much to enjoy.
I love this sewer. This sewer is my home.
With only my utmost love and respect,
Hershey "Hershey Cactus" Cactus
tl;dr: idiot rambles about rats (i love rats) (they are cool) (than ks mfor game)
gosh.. thank you so much for playing and enjoying !!! it's so cool to hear peoples thoughts on it ... a lot of the time i don't know what to say in response !! im just very happy people love it so much !! i would definitely love to answer some of these questions or maybe raise more questions in the remake . . . time will tell ! ! i do want to say ..... the cave paintings do have lore implications . . . except for the bacteriophage ... the rats just think it looks cool (but perhaps does mean they do know science stuff . . . )
