Ratiator

Your finest fighter is wearing a tin can. Your newest recruit brought a toothbrush. Your food budget is mostly cheese. And somewhere beneath the city, a much richer dojo thinks you're a joke. Ratiator is a single-player rat management game about building a fighting dojo from almost nothing. Recruit a cast of little troublemakers, decide how they spend their days, and help them survive ambitions several sizes too big for them. Run the dojo. Try to look qualified. Who trains today? Who needs rest? Who goes looking for supplies? Feed your rats, manage their upkeep, improve your burrow, and keep enough coin for tomorrow. That promising recruit is another mouth to feed. That shiny upgrade can wait. Probably. Manage personalities, not spare parts. Every rat has a background, traits, and a growing career. Shape their abilities and fighting style, learn their strengths, and get attached to their little opinions. They form relationships, develop rivalries, and give you reasons to remember more than a stat line. One human's rubbish. Your champion's wardrobe. A spoon can settle an argument. A toothbrush can start one. Equip your fighters with absurd salvaged gear, craft better equipment, and bring useful treasures home from scavenging trips. The outfit may be ridiculous. The preparation matters. Send them out. Hear what happened. Explore an underground world of drains, cellars, workshops, and dangerous opportunities. Scavenging encounters ask you to make decisions along the way: help a stranger, investigate something suspicious, or decide that your rat has been brave enough for one afternoon. Supplies, discoveries, and trouble all have to come from somewhere. Prepare for the bell. Your rats fight autonomously, using the equipment, skills, and orders you gave them. Watch your plans collide with somebody else's, and make limited calls from the corner. Challenge rival dojos, prepare for scheduled tournaments, and climb toward the Flowerpot Colosseum in a persistent world of competing rats. Funny equipment. Real stakes. An injured rat needs care. A dead rat does not come back. Choose your fights carefully, build around the survivors, and remember the ones who helped your little dojo get this far. Start with a hole beneath the city. See what your rats can make of it.
