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).

Fun puzzles. Fairly basic (but novel) mechanics spiral off into various realms of creativity. Sometimes in a straightforward manner, but the game also thrives on a lot of left-field and original twists. In a weaker developer's hands it could get shallow or lazily chaotic but they do a great job in making the game's meta-twists still result in well-crafted puzzles.
很乐的推箱子游戏，个人觉得黑白侦探风的关卡玩起来很惊艳（而且难度适中，适合我这种又菜又爱玩的家伙
很不错的推箱子解谜游戏，强烈推荐。 整体关卡不多，机制和场景相当丰富，看得出制作组很用心。部分机制虽然关卡不多，但也很有意思。 本人是推箱子苦手，不过这个游戏也坚持没看攻略通关了，感觉难度算中。 游戏有很多致敬，剧情完成度也很高。 整体来说没有大槽点，完全称得上优秀，可惜几乎无人问津😔。

good
Genuinely delightful writing, very aware of how the video game industry is. Puzzles are solid, writing manages to stay funny but not overstay its welcome. Definitely worth asking the machine to put you down at least once.
Cool and good 👍
Game lost me on the second tutorial puzzle. What does it want? I must be missing something. First puzzle is a column of spaces with a block and a button. Push the block onto the button. Next puzzle is a block and a button and 2 lasers. No clue is given. The solution is not to move the block onto the button. I randomly tried a bunch stuff, nothing worked. That isn't the kind of game I want to play. Tell me what the goal is!
Charming puzzle game with well designed puzzles (you can solve them all with careful thinking and deduction, rather than just messing around), and funny dialog/story that gives a good reason to stay invested!
Solid puzzle game. Extremely funny and sarcastic narrator. Such a shame this isn't more popular.
If you wanted portal's humor but a put in a sokoban style puzzle game get Lab Rat. The game is very meta with humor that is perfect if you understand game design, culture and tropes. A video going more in depth: https://youtu.be/DD5ss_wnUmc
