But beware – this journey is full of dangers, one of them being “THE CLAW”.

Watch the A Rat’s Quest: The Way Back Home:

Experience a giant’s world from the perspective of our tiny hero, Mat the rat. For you and me, an old closet is only that- but for Mat, it’s a towering dungeon with the promise of adventure! Play hide and squeak with fearsome creatures and slash them with your shiny rivet or fend them off with your sturdy button.
