At this stage of development, we’re primarily focused on polishing the game. All core mechanics are in place, the main scenario is complete, and we’ve implemented both the introduction and a sandbox mode, where you can choose the length of your journey through the Wreckage. Currently, we’re working on Steam Deck and Linux support, implementing a save system, adding translations, expanding content, and addressing minor details. With all of this progress, we’re confident that the release candidate is just around the corner. In fact, we’re delighted to share some fantastic news: Songs of Rats is scheduled to debut on Steam on March 10, 2025!

We’ve also made a playtest version available to members of the press and select influencers. We’re looking forward to seeing early gameplay videos on YouTube, Twitch, and other social platforms soon.


In this devlog, we’d like to continue delving into the Wreckage. Last time, we shared insights into the creation of this unique universe. Today, let’s take a closer look at some of the figures you’ll encounter during your journey. Keep in mind: only a few will be friendly and helpful - most will be adversaries.

The majority of the Wreckage’s inhabitants are descendants of the surviving crew members of ships and stations. Some simply struggle to survive in this harsh, unforgiving reality. Others, however, see desperation as an opportunity, and they won’t hesitate to kill, steal, or manipulate you to bend to their will.

A small but immensely powerful and influential group within the Wreckage consists of posthuman beings. These are the remnants of advanced civilizations, born from humanity’s pursuit of immortality and transcendence. Posthumans come in many forms: advanced, self-aware machines; human minds uploaded into computer systems; or individuals subjected to extreme biological and cybernetic modifications who retain their intellectual potential. To most of the Wreckage’s inhabitants, posthumans are myths or legends - ghostly figures whispered about in fear or reverence, and in some cases, worshipped as gods.

The Wreckage is also home to a variety of beings that are only distantly related to humans, or not human at all. Along your journey, you’ll encounter robots and other machines powered by advanced AI. While some of these may pose a threat, others could prove to be invaluable allies.

Lastly, you’ll find potential companions - who may join you and provide vital support on your journey.


Whatever path you take, remember this: in the Wreckage, security certainty is an illusion. Every choice carries risks, and you can never be sure which decision will bring you closer to your goal - or which might silence your song forever.


Just to recap, Songs of Rats is set to launch on Steam on March 10, 2025!

We’re really excited to share our development updates with you! Expect regular devlogs that delve deeper into the lore and unique setting, enhancing your experience with Songs of Rats.

To kick things off, let’s introduce the most important character in the game, apart from you, obviously;). What exactly is the Wreckage?


Simply put, the Wreckage is a colossal cluster of destroyed ships and space stations suspended in the void. These shattered vessels have collided and fused into a massive, tangled structure. Thanks to advanced self-repair technologies, many of these wrecks have sealed their interiors, making large portions of this weird world habitable despite the danger.

Within this labyrinth of corridors, rooms, halls, and hangars, you’ll find fragments of diverse civilizations and cultures. These remnants range from wild hydroponics gardens to abandoned laboratories, armories, factories, and even derelict entertainment centers. This variety reflects the diverse origins of the ships and stations that now form the Wreckage.

The origins of the Wreckage are shrouded in mystery. Its creation has become the stuff of legends, with multiple, conflicting myths. However, they share a common thread:

Hundreds of years ago, a monumental space battle unfolded in the orbit of a forgotten gas giant. Many believe this was the climactic final act of the galaxy’s greatest conflict, the so-called "Final War". The identities of the warring factions and the causes of the war have been lost to time, but the sheer scale of the battle remains undisputed.

The clash involved everything from small ships to massive vessels and space stations. A mysterious weapon was deployed, triggering the catastrophic formation of the Wreckage as it exists today. While its exact nature is unknown, whispers speak of the "Heart of the Wreckage", a hidden point that holds the chaotic structure together, preventing it from collapsing into ruin.

Will you dare to venture into this perilous world? And will your song be the one that echoes through its depths, standing the test of time?


Songs of Rats is set to launch on Steam in Q1 2025. We’re hard at work refining the game and adding exciting features. A demo is on its way, and we can’t wait for you to experience what we’ve been crafting.
