🐀 RAT MUST BE SHAKEN TO KEEP GLOWING!!! The RAT GLOWS. The RAT NEEDS to GLOW. But you can’t just look at it. NO. You gotta SHAAKE it to make it GLOW. Shake it, RAT. SHAKE IT OR IT GOES OUT. YOU DON’T WANT A SAD, DARK RAT, DO YOU?!!! Keep shaking it until you feel the love… or the RAT goes cold. SHAKE RAT!

💋 KISS THE RAT (FOR THIS WEEK ONLY!!)
Want to kiss the rat? YOU CAN. ONLY FOR A LIMITED TIME!! No questions asked. SMOOCH THAT RAT, IT WANTS IT. But hurry, this unholy romance ends soon! Get those RAT KISSES IN NOW, or forever hold your peace. MWAH!

Press "K" to kiss the rat.

✨ DLSS 3.7. IT’S HERE.
DLSS. WE PUT IT IN. Now you can make the RAT GLOW like a freaking GOD but at more than 200fps!
Select your quality, love your RAT, and SHAKE all day long. LOOK AT IT GLOW! 🐀✨BUT WAIT—WE FIXED THE RAT SHAKE LOGIC! NO MORE STUTTER WHEN YOU GO OVER 120FPS. SHAKE WITH CONFIDENCE. SHAKE WITH POWER. SHAKE LIKE YOU MEAN IT.

🎮 GAMEPAD, MOUSE, AND KEYBOARD ICONS!!
FINALLY, you can see the right icons. Gamepad? YES. Mouse? YES. Keyboard? YES.
All it cost was your SOUL, but you won't need that where we are going. ENJOY!

No real rats were harmed in the development of RATSHAKER™.

Hey RATSHAKERs,

We’ve got some updates for you!

- Display Settings Fixed: The borderless, windowed, and fullscreen options are now fully functional. Additionally, when using borderless mode, the resolution setting will be disabled since it only works with the native resolution.

- Gamepad UI Navigation: The UI implementation for gamepads has been revamped! You can now navigate menus, sliders, buttons, and radial menus entirely with your gamepad of choice.

- Gamepad Icon Prompts (Coming Soon): While gamepad navigation is fully functional, please note that the input prompts shown during the tutorial currently only support keyboard inputs. Gamepad icon prompts will be included in a future update.

- Vibration Bug Fixed: A strange bug that caused connected gamepads to continuously vibrate has been fixed. (No, this wasn’t a feature!)

Make sure to restart Steam to apply this update.

Hey RATSHAKERs,

We're now packaging compiled shaders for DX11 & SM5 with RATSHAKER.

Unreal Engine 5, does not do this by default, but this should resolve the error message for RATSHAKERs attempting to run the game on hardware below the minimum spec. Please let us know if this is the case in the following steam discussion thread:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/3290710/discussions/0/594010406470551968/


This does not mean the game will run well (or work properly)!
You may experience strange behaviour, missing models, broken lighting etc.
We are not able to provide technical support for hardware below our minimum stated specifications.

We've also identified an issue that causes the RAT to "stutter" when screaming. This occurs when the framerate of the game goes above 60fps. It seems the screaming rat logic is not framerate independent, like it should be (and the rest of the game is). We're looking into this and will let you know when a fix is issued. In the meantime, you can prevent this behaviour by enabling vsync & forcing the refresh rate to be 60fps.

Finally, the Christmas update has now been disabled. We hope you enjoyed your present from the RAT.

Please restart steam to ensure you get this update!
