A Rat is Named

A Rat Is Named takes you through a coming of age ceremony in a rain-soaked city inhabited by rats. The idea for this story came from several sources, and the setting is heavily inspired by the city of Burmecia in Final Fantasy IX (2000) for the Sony Playstation. I draw on the Redwall series of fantasy children's novels by Brian Jacques for the characterization of the Little One and Grandmother Rat. Finally,  Alberta's Rat Control Program led me to the concept of depicting rats as semi-mythical creatures with a culture and history of their own. Suggested listening is "Burmecia: Realm of Eternal Rain" from Final Fantasy IX.

Thank you for taking the time to play my little game. It's my first published one, and I hope to make many more! Enjoy.
