Game Description
他们说着爱我，是为我好。 可是，我却被一点点的吞噬，终于，我变成了老鼠，你变成了人，他们却质问我“为何不在阳光下奔跑？” 我能逃出这个下水道吗？ 或者说——我还想逃吗？ 就这样在下水道捡垃圾吃，也没什么不好，毕竟，我只是老鼠 They said they loved me — “It’s for your own good,” they smiled. And so, little by little, I was devoured. Until I became a rat. You became human. And then you looked down and asked: “Why don’t you run in the sunlight?” Escape? What a charming thought. But who needs the sun, when the sewer offers such generous filth? Eating garbage in the dark isn’t so bad. They said it’s better than being ungrateful. And maybe they’re right — After all, I’m just a rat. 操作说明：A左移动left，D右移动right，双击跑步模式，K跳跃jump。
How does your game tie into the theme?
In the end, consumed by this "love," I became nothing but a rat.

i died so many times. i'm sorry rat, you deserved a better player than me...
it was cool finding all the alternate paths and seeing different endings! the music was also unsettling and fit the theme great. awesome job!
No, finding those hidden paths is seriously impressive! You helped the Little Rat defy [the system], and it would be so proud/happy!
(Literal: ...the Little Rat must be very happy too!)
Very unique game, I really like this theme of being consumed by love and how the character is forced down this path.
Some clever ideas with hidden stages by going backwards but then still trying to redirect the player back to the "main" path, I was able to go two screens left after finding a hidden platform but I couldn't figure out how to progress down that path anymore.(I might be too dumb.)
Some issues I had was "K" being jump took me hitting every key to find out and if you lose and go to restart through menus you begin with 0 life so you can only take 1 hit before you get game over, I ended up opening and closing the game just to get my life back.
You are free to edit the main page of your game during the voting submission so might be a good idea to put the controls there.
Anyway, great entry.
Thank you for liking it. You're right—there are indeed two paths, left and right. The left path includes additional bullet attacks, so it is definitely more difficult than the right. These bullets are made up of common phrases from Chinese-style education, such as “We’re doing this for your own good,” “Why are you so disobedient?” and “Why is it only you they pick on?” They represent the cost of defying this kind of parental “love.”
As for why HP doesn’t reset, it’s because I originally designed the game with four endings in mind—three of which are determined by the accumulation of “Humanity.” To make it easier to build up Humanity quickly, I chose not to reset the game data. However, it seems that HP ended up not being reset either.
Wish i could play it in the browser or on Mac! your description is awesome
Thank you for your support! I’ve tried exporting the web version, but it seems that due to the use of Chinese-named nodes during development, the exported build fails to run properly. As a result, I can currently only provide the Windows version. I’ll consider fixing this issue in the future and will also add a macOS version.
一个字：棒。太棒了。以别样的方式讲述了当代中国学生承受的压力（因为我深有同感）。现在的中国学生要面对家长，学校，作业，补习班之类的多重压力，在游戏中，这些压力具象的表达了出来。标题“老鼠人”，以及主角是最后变成了老鼠，都表达了在这些压力下，中国学生的糟糕精神状态。另外，我是否能与您在下一个月的比赛中合作？如果可以我将非常荣幸。
谢谢你的喜欢，不过我还没决定到底要不要参加下一次比赛，因为这一次太累了，如果可以的话，我们可以先认识一下
Seems to be an issue with jumping in the build? If you cant jump, not sure how to complete the game.
