[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

HEY RATSHAKERs,

REJOICE.

OUR LONG LABOURS YIELD RAT-SQUISITE REWARD THE FETID MEAT FROTHS, THE WALLS TREMBLE, AND THE ALMIGHTY RAT ASCENDS TO DICTATE THE LAST RITE IN THIS WRETCHED LITURGY OF ROT AND RODENT.

INTRODUCING:

THE NEW AND IMPROVED FORMULA DIRECTOR’S CUT 5 BILLION SKINNED ALIVE DELUXE EDITION OF RATSHAKER™.


This is it. The culmination of our efforts to deliver the pinnacle of state of the art
rat-shaking gameplay and immersive slow-burn environmental horror. At long last, our vision has been fully realized, and we hope you all enjoy your time in these freshly-exuviated depths.

NEW AND IMPROVED FEATURES. EVERYTHING MUST GO.

  • SAVE SYSTEM - You can run walk, you can SHAKE, you can try to SQUEEZE your way out of the dark...but when you return, IT will still be there, pulsating & convulsing. When the last rite is done, when the final door swings wide, your save is erased. Scrubbed clean like you were never there. RAT.
  • BASEMENT REWORK – The old carapace of a once-mundane dwelling has been remade into something new. Vast and unknown, these tenebrious depths await your exploration.
  • NEW MODELS & TEXTURES – There are such sights to see, objects to play with, and so many mangled corpses - In pieces this time! Extra value, for the same rat-isfactory price.
  • ENHANCED AUDIO - Reverb that’ll mess with your head, audio occlusion that hides what you can’t hear, and a brand-new collection of sounds and ambience that’ll make your ears question everything.
  • IMPROVED PERFORMANCE – More FPS, more performance, Optimization work far outpacing the comprehension of unshaken rats.
  • ENDING REWORK – Behold, the ending now has the proper atmospheric gravitas it deserves, instead of just being some unlit corpse on the floor of a boring-ass basement that most people just walked over.
  • NEW SECRET ENDING – A gift for the fleet-footed. Good luck.
    NEW ACHIEVEMENTS – Achievement hunters rejoice! You finally have a reason to play RATSHAKER™ again.
  • LONGER GAMEPLAY – With a reworked basement 8x bigger than the old one, there is so much more RATSHAKER™ to enjoy. Who wouldn’t want more RATSHAKER™ - and especially more time to enjoy the glorious presence of the titular RAT who is very cool and totally didn’t hijack this steam page.
HAVE A RATRATRATRATRATRATRAT-TASTIC DAY!

RATSHAKER™ 15_02_25_01 - Achievements Hotfix


Hey RATSHAKERs,

WE ARE SORRY.

We accidentally denied you the sweet, sweet dopamine hit of unlocking achievements. We have now corrected this injustice. However, those who should have been unlocked since the last patch, remain lost in the void, irretrievable even to us. The RAT has wept. The RAT has repented. The RAT cannot turn back time.

If you were robbed of your well-earned accolades, we regret to inform you that they are now merely whispers in the void. You must achieve them again. Consider it a second chance. A trial by RAT.

We have also shed our skin. We have cast aside our development build and embraced the raw, unrelenting efficiency of the shipping build.

This means:
  • Smaller file sizes. Less clutter. Less waste. A more optimized RATshaking experience.
  • The command console is dead. No more peeking behind the curtain. No more forbidden texts.
    You are no longer in the lab, you are now in the maze.
Please restart steam to ensure you get this update!

Thank you for playing RATSHAKER (again)!

RATSHAKER™ 23_01_25_01 - Display Settings Fixes And Gamepad Navigation



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.
