Shake It! Ten Rat-Tastic Reasons Why Ratshaker Will Change Your Life Forever
With Ratshaker, you take control! Feel the satisfaction of watching the meter rise as you shake the cartoon Rat into submission. The more you shake, the closer you get to solving your problems for good.
Fast-acting, easy to use, and highly effective, Ratshaker ensures your space stays problem-free in no time. But make no mistake, this is no ordinary game. This is a ritual. You must perform it. It is coming for us.
Launching today on Xbox Series X|S, this $3.49 nightmare will burn itself into your psyche. You are not prepared. You never were.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, our most unhinged Rat-gineers have curated ten of the most rat-tastic, most cursed reasons why Ratshaker will change your life—forever.
1. Ratshaker Deceives Your Mind
You will be lulled into a state of confusion as the world around you is not what it seems. You will see a Ratshaker Meter overhead while a 2D cartoon Rat rests firmly in your fist.
Gaze upon The Pale Fields and despair, for you are not ready for the descent into self-destruction you will endure in just a few shakes.
2. A Balance of Horror and Humour
Ratshaker will mercilessly throw you into a blend of liminal dread and absurdism that you need to experience.
You’ll wonder why you’re laughing at all. Maybe the game is laughing at you. It knows what you have done.
3. The Golden Voice of the Rat
Did you expect the Rat in Ratshaker to have a deep, silky, posh voice as it screams with every shake?
Of course it does! Not only does the Rat look absurd, it talks! The Rat offers its commentary as you spiral.
- You can skip the Rat’s commentary with just a quick squeeze!
4. Many Have Been Cast Into the Basement
Countless content creators have willfully given in to the strange call from the other side of the meat wall—beckoned to open the door with a fist full of Rat and jump right in.
From Markiplier’s climactic playthrough of the original build, to that guy from two doors down who just hates having fun, many of them went on to make videos—scared and confused—about what Ratshaker is.
They could not stop shaking. They loved it. They had to.
5. Feel the Burn. Wiggle Until It Hurts. Can You Endure?
Ratshaker will challenge your “I can press the A button really fast” championship that you and your friends made up.
Unnecessary quick time events have nothing on the finger punishment that is shaking this cartoon cross-eyed Rat.
Seriously, it calls for some real handwork. Shake it!
6. Nostalgia Will Snare You. You Can’t Escape Its Trap.
Don’t let the pixelated visuals fool you! There’s something in the walls, something shaped like your guilt. You know what you did (or are going to do)!
You can shake (and/or squeeze) that silly Rat all you want, it’s not going to save you. Your surroundings might look familiar—but there is something waiting around the next corner. Always.
7. Completionists Love Shaking the Rat
You’ve done this before. What’s a few more shakes? Collect everything to fill that Rat-shaped hole in your soul.
From clever achievement names to two different outcomes you deserve, Ratshaker gives you the feeling that maybe it really was all your fault, and you need to go back.
Go back and face it again and again and again and again and again. Over and over. Forever.
8. Secrets That Only Appear on Special Occasions
Ratshaker will regularly drag you back to your favourite suffering chamber, 2778-B.
During those cold winter months, remember who gave you a gift? That’s right. Ratshaker.
Boot the game up during the festive season and receive a twisted surprise.
Come Valentine’s Day, fire it up again and receive something even stranger!
9. No Matter How Fast You Are, It Never Ends
They tried to run through as fast as possible—all just to start again. What about you? Do you prefer ripping it off like a sticky bandage, or do you just like to take it all in?
Sink deeper into the atmosphere, feel the negative space pulse with every inch it gets closer to you.
Maybe you should try to clear it in seven minutes. Don’t let it get you.
10. The Hive Mind Is Growing. Join Us
Take the first real breath in six years. Go on. Breathe in. Breathe out. There are people out there with eyes like ours.
You and I are the same. You want Ratshaker, I want Ratshaker for you.
We’ve already tasted the cycle of eternity. What about you?
You don’t want to be left out here alone, out here in The Pale Fields. Something is out here. Something is watching.
Just. Shake. The. Rat.
Join us. Ratshaker, Ratshaker, Rat, Rat, Rat.
Ratshaker can soon be yours!
