Lab Rat(WIP)

Hosted Games Works In Progress

After escaping from the lab, you start a new life in the city of Graywick.

Join the heart of the city—an organization of heroes known as Ark.

Uncover your not-so-perfect past, make new friends, or reunite with old ones—and of course, don’t forget your twin sister!

Playable as male, female, or non-binary.

Hello there! I’ve read the demo so far and it sounds promising, however there were definitely some grammatical errors in there. I saw English isn’t your first language..Is there any way you could send the writing portions in like Google docs or something? I could fix errors (or at least most of them) and send it back. :slightly_smiling_face: Then you could copy+paste that document into the right places. I think it’d be much easier that way than me trying to explain them and where they are.

Hi i would like an option where we get to choose our powers reacting to glitch grabbing us like I don’t know breaking her arm or sending her flying away because it is stupid somebody with telekinesis who is not knocked out and also if you don’t want to add an option like that it is your game and your story

Hi! Thanks for bringing this up, I think it’d be better if the MC could react to her, so I’ll add a scene for that in the next update (′ε` )

Oh, and just to clarify, telekinesis and psychokinesis are a bit different in Lab Rat.
Telekinesis is more focused on mental abilities, like influencing thoughts or reading minds, while psychokinesis is more about directly manipulating physical objects or the environment.:purple_heart:

What is the difference between telekinesis and telepathy, then?

In Lab Rat, telekinesis leans more toward reading or influencing others’ minds, while telepathy focuses more on controlling others =) I hope that makes sense. I know normally these terms can overlap sometimes.:purple_heart:

Maybe I should make some changes to the definitions of telekinesis, telepathy, and psychokinesis to make them less confusing…? Please let me know!:purple_heart:

Telepathy is being able to communicate directly with someone using only your mind. Telekinesis is the ability to manipulate objects using only your mind

Does this project contain genAI?

I’m not sure…I usually use a translator to look up words I don’t know or forgot how to spell, and I also search for how native English speakers express certain things. Please let me know if this is considered GenAI, I try not to use it too much.=(

Thank you for clarifying. I’ll check for no AI then :purple_heart:

I’m terrible at naming things, so it’s probably a good idea to change it and make it more superhero-like(If it’s possible and I can think of another name, if not, I can live with it):face_without_mouth:

I think I made at least a hundred errors in this tiny update. It’s only a few hundred words, but I just have to share it because the most important setting is coming out, the Relics! I’ll fix whatever mistakes I made tomorrow and add more choices, but I really need to sleep now. Good night if you’re looking at this.

I like it so far, some interesting elements and themes. But there isn’t much for me to form thorough opinion about it. Keep up the good work

I finished Chapter 1… and here’s a summary:

Welcome to Ark.

You’ve joined this mysterious organization as a “criminal.” Your guide is Jessica—an “Admin” employee who’s jaded with the system but friendly to you.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Get your work ID, uniform, and mask—yes, they don’t want the public knowing they’re hiring criminals… for now.

  • Meet your colleagues—some are friendly, some… not so much.

  • Move into the apartment provided by Ark—old, poorly soundproofed… but at least it’s close to the office.

Anyway, good night.

I’ll spoil a bit of what’s waiting in Chapter 2 tomorrow :purple_heart:

The premise of being a “lab rat” has so much potential for unique branching paths and moral dilemmas. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing how the player’s choices impact the narrative as the project develops.
