Play Reservoir Rat (europe) (en,fr,de,es,it) Online

Reservoir Rat was a Game Boy release from the early 1990s, a time when handheld games were often simpler adaptations of home console ideas. It was published by Infogrames, a company known for releasing a wide variety of titles across different genres during that period. This particular version was localized into several European languages, which was not always a given for Game Boy cartridges at the time.

In the game, you control a rat navigating a series of interconnected, screen by screen rooms within a large reservoir. Your main goal is to collect a set of keys to unlock the exit while avoiding or outsmarting various enemies like spiders and other creatures. The gameplay involves careful exploration of the maze like environment, pushing blocks to create pathways or trigger mechanisms, and managing your limited resources. The pacing is deliberate, requiring patience and observation, and the difficulty comes from the labyrinthine level design and the constant threat of enemies. It feels like a tense, methodical puzzle where every screen presents a new logistical challenge.
