Our take on Rat Cage
The bounce point arrives when frightening figures enter the route: players must combine hiding with puzzle-solving while continuing deeper into the building. Anyone expecting a combat-heavy action game may hit that wall, since the described toolkit centers on movement, jumping, grabbing, evasion, and escape.
