Lab Rat is a hand-crafted narrative puzzler masquerading as a machine-generated video game. This satirical adventure stars a metrics-obsessed AI who will monitor, profile, and guide you as you solve over a hundred unique spatial problems. Over time this AI will develop a hilariously-misguided understanding of humanity based on your performance and survey response data.
While Lab Rat pokes fun at the absurdity of algorithmically-generated interactions, this game is lovingly hand-crafted by a team of expert human developers. Lab Rat is directed by Gwen Frey (creator of Kine & co-creator of The Flame in the Flood). It features environment art by Mike Snight (Lead World Builder, Bioshock Infinite), writing and programming by Ian Bond (Programmer/Developer, Bioshock 1), and puzzles by Lucas Le Slo (beloved experimental puzzle designer).

wow! this is actually good! can recommend! loaded with references and jokes, a sokoban-like but actually own mechanics explored to around 10 hours of real gameplay! and I wasn't even reading the dialog trees that much, I'm sure even more jokes to be found there. Thank you Gwen! Please keep going, I'm looking forward to your next games! downsides: it's unreal engine, a recent one, saving grace is that the game is 100% turn based puzzle mechanics, totally playable even in 10 fps, actually ran better for me, but TAA was still there.
Pretty fun and entertaining. The puzzles are not too hard, I did get stuck on a couple so far, still going through.

游戏的核心机制是“带颜色的箱子”，难度曲线平缓，卡关不多，在毒舌AI的黑色幽默下，经常会心一笑。总结来说，解谜机制和故事情节结合得非常赞！适合解谜新手入门~
把它当普通推箱子玩了几关就落灰来着，结果坑越填越兴奋，直接停不下来了😂 中度剧情演绎和轻度解谜的结合体。推箱子的底子，加入了拉拽、跨越、染色的规则，还有其他变体机制和小游戏，总体难点也不是很多。全程以和AI对话的形式展开，频频加入现实的心理甚至伦理的问卷，颇有meta元素，有点搞心态也有点搞笑；中后段剧情放飞直接体验冒险游戏，解谜也带紧张感了，甚至还有大反转。一遍流程下来真的是不虚此行了。
Головоломка комфортной сложности на 8-12 часов с обилием юмора, своих денег стоит. Основа проста - вам предстоит двигать объекты по двумерному полю в клеточку, как в игре про кладовщика или в пятнашках. Множество вариаций не дадут заскучать: будут меняться как игровые механики (от классических задачек с лазерами и зеркалами до порталов), так и стилистическое оформление уровней. Между головоломками дадут перевести дух - вас ждут небольшие чилловые активности с отсылками и шутками. Мне понравилось, рекомендую.
good puzzles funny story
[h1]La única IA [strike]que me cae bien[/strike][/h1] Creo que hacía mucho que no me reía tanto con un juego. Muy entretenido y original. Mi enhorabuena a la directora, Gwen Frey, (que también es la que le pone voz a S.A.R.A.), entre otras muchas cosas.
解谜游戏。纯推箱子。需要较强的逻辑推理能力。支线的恶趣味背景加分。
Great variety of puzzles, fun story, doesn't overstay it's welcome
