In Mad Rat Dead, you assume the role of the titular Mad Rat, a lab specimen that recently passed away due to experimentation. Thanks to the blessings of the Rat God, he is revived and allowed to relive his last day on earth, with the condition that he will die at the end of it all.

A rat's dream has been left unfulfilled before his death...that is, until he gets a second chance at life! Granted the opportunity to redo his last day on Earth, you must utilize the rat's newfound power to pump his heart in time with the music, lest his own time runs out.

You’ve got one day to live and a huge score to settle.
Time to put the "beat" in beatdown! Jump, dash, and smash to the rhythm in this music-based action platformer!

Story:
Mad Rat died in the middle of the night. He was just a lab rat, born and raised. After Mad Rat's death, the Rat God appeared to give him the chance to relive his final day. And so begins Mad Rat's adventure to achieve his dream before his time runs out. His dream? To take revenge on the cruel human who experimented on him his entire life. What sort of ending will Mad Rat's dream bring about for him?
