From Press Release:
NICOSIA, Cyprus – Nov. 7, 2025 – Polden Publishing and developer toR Studio’s new game Restaurats, the medieval fantasy tavern simulator where a team of rats do the work, is out now on Steam! Play solo or with up to four players in co-op while managing your tavern – serve tables, cook food, improve your restaurant, and become the best rat-ed chef around. Play in either Career mode or “Friendslop” mode for faster-paced, wackier runs with friends!
Lead a medieval restaurant with a team of rats! Cook the food, throw it at guests, and bus the tables for the fantastical creatures who’ll come to feast. Learn to cook the best recipes, improve your tavern (and your rat), and be ready to serve VIP customers for bonus rewards. Become a legendary rat chef with up to four players, and make your tavern the most visited in the realm!
The fun doesn’t stop with launch however – the team has already revealed a post-launch content roadmap including more customization, events, locations and more!
KEY FEATURES
- CULINARY CONNOISSEUR – Learn recipes to cook for the tavern’s fantastical patrons. The more complex the dish, the better the reward.
- CUSTOMER SERVICE – Be attentive to the tavern’s guests, like skeletons, vampires, orcs and more. Each has unique preferences and requirements, so be sure to look after their needs.
- RAT UPGRADES – Level up your character, improve your skills, and customize your rat to be the most stylish of your friends.
- ROGUELIKE PROGRESSION – At the end of each run, you’ll unlock new recipe cards, upgrades and more to improve your tavern.
