Play Reservoir Rats Online
Control a team of rats, sneak through houses, avoid cats and guards, and steal food and valuables using each rat's unique skills.
Reservoir Rats came out for the Game Boy Color in 2000, developed by Vivid Image and published by Infogrames. It was part of that late-era push for the system, where developers tried out more complex ideas before moving fully to 16-bit handhelds. The game stands out for its unusual premise and top-down stealth approach, something not many other titles on the platform attempted.
You control a team of rats, each with a specific skill, navigating through houses and avoiding hazards like cats and human guards. The main goal is to steal food and valuables from each room without getting caught. Key mechanics include switching between rats to use their unique abilities, such as digging or distracting enemies, and carefully timing movements to avoid patrols. The pace is deliberate, and mistakes are punished quickly, making each successful theft feel earned. It feels tense and clever when a plan comes together.
