RATUZ - A Prince of Persia & The Thing Inspired 2D Horror Adventure with Lots of Fun Ways to Die! 

Note: I played an early demo build of RATUZ last year, but the full game is a bout to release tomorrow. This is a playthrough of the full game, but I've edited out some of the sections in chapter one as it's pretty similar to the demo version. Also, apologies for the uploads being a little less regular this past week. I busted my leg and am on some pretty heavy duty painkillers. Will hopefully get back to normal soon. :)

I like how the inmates are working together, and it isn't just some 'every man for himself' kind of situation.

Prisoner 6: Is terrified by the rat Prisoner 4: A bit positive, still fears the rat Prisoner 5: Mmm that rat do be looking edible...

24:17 love how MC just goes in the elevator with stranger without saying anything in such situation

It's great that the headcrab guy just ran around and helped the MC rather than try to kill everyone. Dude just wanted to go home and decided to take advantage of his new mobility.

Like that even the main bad rat actually got to escape with them along with the head of Two You don't usually see a game that actually lets the main bad guy live

The game feels like the devs were having a lot of fun making it. Lots of goofy and sometimes cheesy bits that got some good chuckles from me. I was expecting a serious toned horror experience, but I'd gladly take this kind of "goofy" horror as well. Personally the almost lighthearted tone of the game feels like a fresh breath of air from the usual grittiness of most horror games.

Thanks for playing our game again. We hope you had some fun. 😄👍 Hope your leg gets better soon... 💊

12:55 That made me say, out loud, "Okay. That is fucking insane."

The Spider Head is the real star of the show

I love how the rat starts playing with the protagonist at some point

From what I got from the lore: Government tried to recreate something from mythology of old civilization so they built a facility that pretended to be prison on top of old dungeons. They did bio experiments and satanic rituals to summon something like a Rat God. Of course it all turned horribly wrong.

This game is if you took every 1980s "action" movie and squashed it all into a ball. The sets, the puzzles, the cheesy dialogue, even the main guy looks like Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken in "Escape from New York/LA" , and, of course, our hero gets the lady in the end.

13:06 ratman could have killed you, but he's busy playing happy wheels right now and needs to do sick flips off the dive board into the blood pool

I remember playing demo like good 4 years ago. Also I love this 2005 java era aesthetics.

That game broke the biggest horror's cliche The prisoners have decided to work together, not to betray anyone and even take a scientist with them.

25:19 had to go back. The painting of the meme...! I would need a second playthrough just to list all the references

Very cool, I really like how the little head escape with the rest of the guys lol

Lol the lack of failsafe protocols in the beginning 😂 "Lemme just start injecting the inmates with unknown effects"

37:54 the head XD

considering how many people go to prison unfairly and how unethically prisoners can really be treated, it's cool to see a game where they're humanized and even all get away in the end.

I like how they take the rat inmate back after he being cured. I thought they would’ve throw him to the water but no! They all escaped together ! True brothers!!

Fun game, but I gotta admit, the scene with the rat and the wheelchair was *kinda* goofy. I don't know what's more unbelievable, either - wild genetic abberations... or some guy soldering live industrial electronics without dying. 😂

This feels like a mix of Prince or Persia and Oddworld as well, i love it.

the ratman on the wheelchair for no reason got me screaming 😭

Can't believe I get to know about this game after 1 year since I saw the first gameplay, tremendous master piece of indie

12:55 Bruh, rat just stole a wheelchair as his new ride

Glad that this game can end with a happy ending if you earned it. No last-minute cruel twists.

I was seriously worried about the "every side character dies" trope, glad to see them flip it on it's head.

this is actually brilliant. mixing different game ideas well together.

12:55 well if that aint the darnest thing ive seen, by golly saint mary

I knew i recognized those climbing and grabbing animations. Devs took inspiration from Splinter Cell: Conviction(JAVA), damn what a good game

That crabhead in the end, just heartwarming.

25:45 that movie reference got me laughing

I love how there's a lot of horror movie references like The Shining, The Thing, Terminator, etc (idk all of the names tbh)

I like how when the game starts getting dark souls bullshitty in the dungeons it just puts you back before the trap immediately afterwards just because he wanted you to see the actually rather well done animations. The game isn't supposed to be hard, it's supposed to be fun.

8:36 that made my heart jump well placed

Spider Head Guy is the real MVP

You know, the "you're a prisoner in a facility overrun by muntant monsters" theme reminds me a lot of an old cinematic platformer series called "1213" by Yahtzee Croshaw of Zero Punctuation fame. Those were great and this game looks just as amazing!

25:47 I never thought there was a "Shining" reference

21:38 damn, mr Krabs was indeed feeling it. Run, Spongebob, run.

The rat guy seems to be having fun.

Sweet! I’ve been waiting for this since the demo.

I love how the headcrab remains a protagonist

12:41 "I'll be back" *melts himself like Arnie in the second Terminator movie a second later*

It's always nice to see the game in Another World and Classic POP style!

This is really good to see that characters actually survive at the end as reward for their work Usually everyone just freaking die and that's about it

I like how the RAT is just having fun rolling around with their newly found wheelchair in: 12:53

Such a unique game with cool concept.I wonder if the spider head is friendly?since he was helping Five back then

Honestly, I can see this being a very entertaining movie.

this game looks, reads, and plays - and i mean this in the best possible way - like it was made by teenagers. congratulations to Bad Coffee on the release, finishing games is very hard work and a significant acomplishment.

Didn't know the Biker Mice From Mars were in this.

I love how you can tell everyone including the main rat is a huge horror fan and just having the time of their life, even though in danger

The game actually has different endings depending on if you saved people or not. The best possible outcome being the ending where you save everyone.

12:20 Terminator reference

I like how everyone made it out alive, spider-head and rat-man to. Thought for sure someone or everyone minus the main character was dying.

12:53 this is funny and well placed

what an amazing job it really reminded me of “the thing” the atmosphere of suspense and tension was really cool. the sound design was very good and I could see that the devs had fun creating this game. good work! we need some more of that.

I feel like the demo had WAY better dialogue. The humor actually undermines the horror aspect the game has to offer. I hope there's an option in the future to have the more serious dialogue of the original.

Around the 28:39 mark, I started getting "Trap Adventure" vibes.😂😂😂

The « here is Johnny » reference came out of nowhere

Wow great animations for pixel art. This was a fun watch. Rat monster living his best life.

I love the fact that this game was made by Brazilians :3

More than Prince of Persia, I'd say this is inspired by "Another World", a game by the same legendary videogame artist Eric Chahi. The isolation, the fear of what's waiting for you and if that new unknown thing is goint to kill you, the constant chasing, and especially the feeling of the setting (in AW you're a scientist suddenly transported to an alien world, here you're a prisoner who tries to escape a secret lab overrun by monsters) are much more reminiscent of Another World than Prince of Persia.

27:40 unfair 28:21 actually unfair 28:34 borderline bullying 28:44this one isn’t even telegraphed 😑 36:28 hot make-out session 36:41 cheap kill 🙄 38:01 the real hot make out session 😳

28:20 - That was a ligetimate Troll trap.

14:55 insert megalovania here lol

"Look what we have here... a miserable little pile of secrets" Hehe castlevania

Everything about this is just amazing. From the simple yet effective graphics, the no-nonsense, cheesy dialogue, the film references, the Spidey Head Bro, the finale, everything. The devs had a lot of fun creating this game, and it shows.

It took me a few minutes to realize that the mouse bartender was named Mickey.

The Assistant : Shouldn't we wait for the guard to come back? The experiment could have unpredictable consequences. The scientist: Oh don't worry. Keep going

37:00 ah yes, a car engine. You know, the thing you can take out without disassembling, carry with your two hands and that neatly fits into your pocket.

Poor prisoner one...he is only one who couldn't escape...T_T

Imagine working here and having to pass the puzzles and obstacles while avoiding the monsters every day from monday to friday.

This game is so good, it has: -Good animations -Wheelchair rat guy

I like that dismembered head guy is trying to help too

Love that you went back and did another replay of this game awesome work love your Playthroughs. Keep up the great videos I always like watching what you have to show.

" a miserable little pile of secrets " ah dracula from castlevania sotn

Glad to see you finish this game It was an enjoyable experience.

I’m not sure about the whole thing on Three not being in Control when he got Mutated. I mean, the Guy Smiled when 1 Vomited to Death, and Laughed when 2 Became the SpiderHead. He's Obviously Malicious Enough to Take Advantage of his Change. Edit: Either that or he went Insane after being Kept in there for so long.

4:42 a nice castlevania SOTN reference

25:47 love that The Shining reference

Great video. This game looks pretty awesome. I'm impressed with the ideas presented.

12:55 *happy wheels music intensifies*

Even the head spider escaped toghter!🤣

Honestly pretty interesting but terrifying universe they established here, wonder if they plan to explore more on it like how even the city has an outbreak of the experiments roaming around pretty much terrifying everyone else.

Spoiler: . . . . . I really like that gang on the boat. What a team. Does 3 even have an idea what he was doing? Was he a friend of them? I smell a good sequel.

That actually was a great game! Great characters, good story. Would like to see a sequel perhaps with the same characters or new characters.

I laughed when he stole the wheelchair

I was rooting on the head crab the whole way.

Brazilians have more ideas in games than in movies in 2022

This is such cool character design, the ratdude's attacks are also pretty creative. Love this

I was so confused when the rat started using the wheelchair, like why?? It was funny though, this was a great game to watch

4:42 The soldier seems like the reincarnation of Dracula

Cute that the good mutant mouse dudes name was mickey.

Wow! I love this type of games! Thank you for showing this one! Definitely going to check out!

The best ending,even the spider-head as alive.good

Would be cool to see more games use this format.

Surprised headcrab bro maintained his sentience.

Glad to see they kept working on this game. Looking forward to the release. Sorry to hear about what happened to you, Alpha Beta Gamer. I wish you a speedy recovery, and get well soon.
