The Great Cataclysm saw the Earth destroyed, forcing the human race to spread further into the solar system.
Humanity now lives a nomadic life, flying between the Space Stations that are spread across the Solar System.
Create your own captain and crew, avoid Space Pirates and the Galactic Union to discover the truth of why there is a price on your head.

Space Rats is an Action Adventure RPG, a space blaster that is somewhere between Ani- mal Crossing, Overcooked, and FTL.
In order to navigate the solar system the player maintains and operates their starship which is constantly breaking down and catching fire. When they do get the systems work- ing they all perform different functions, Operating the engine boosts speed, working the helm improves turning and having one or more crew on the shields gives shield bonuses. There are many more systems to run and each can be upgraded to improve performance. Players can even buy maintenance robots, better weapons, and cloaking devices to help protect their ship.
If that wasn’t enough they can always buy a bigger and better ship from the reputable and not so reputable traders at one of the many Space Stations across the Solar System.
Time is not on the player’s side, the many factions are hunting down their crew and if they linger in one sector too long their wanted level increases. This sees more ships coming after them, from Bounty Hunters to Galactic Union Battle Cruisers, everyone is on high alert for the crew and they certainly do not want to be noticed when they sneak into Space Stations!
