If you missed its chaotic debut on PC, Ratshaker™ is a first-person, physics-fueled simulator with a wickedly irreverent twist. The premise? Grab a virtual rat and shake away your pest problems—literally. On PS5, those antics get a major upgrade thanks to the DualSense controller’s gyroscope and responsive haptics, blurring the line between slapstick comedy and digital pest wrangling.

Ratshaker gameplay showing the player shaking a rat to solve a puzzle — Ratshaker’s signature mechanic—grab and shake—puts the DualSense’s motion controls to hilarious use.

Where most simulators play it safe with mundane or satirical chores, Ratshaker™ cranks up the weirdness to eleven. Sunscorched Studios has rebuilt the experience from scratch for console, ensuring that every squeal, flop, and wild thrash is echoed in your own hands. Each frantic shake of the controller delivers tense, responsive feedback, pulling you right into the game’s slapstick spirit.

A close-up of a rat being shaken in-game, highlighting the game's detailed RAT Physics — With RAT Physics™, every motion is exaggerated for maximum comic impact.

This uniquely tactile approach helps Ratshaker™ stand out from the crowd—think Goat Simulator or Surgeon Simulator, but with a pitch-black sense of humor and a fondness for chaos. The tongue-in-cheek “no mess (some guilt)” tagline sums up the game’s gleefully irreverent take on pest control, while its responsive mechanics and unpredictable outcomes keep the laughs (and the odd pang of guilt) coming.

Player navigating a cluttered room with the rat in hand — Environments brim with interactive objects, so expect chaos—and laughter—at every turn.

At just $3.49 USD / €3.49 EUR, Ratshaker™ is a compact burst of digital absurdity—ideal for party play, quick sessions, or whenever you need to shake off a stressful day. Sunscorched Studios, known for their atmospheric, horror-tinged games, pivot hard into satire here but retain their signature attention to tactile, immersive detail.

With Ratshaker™ making its console debut, one question remains: How far can a game push the boundaries between physical comedy and gleefully dark humor? Will the joy of gyroscope-powered rodent rampages keep players coming back, or will this become a cult curiosity on the PlayStation Store shelf?

Cartoonish aftermath after shaking the rat in-game — Outcomes range from hilarious to oddly satisfying—and they’re never quite the same twice.

TL;DR: Ratshaker™ hits PS5 on May 28, rebuilt for console with DualSense motion controls and haptics. Expect satirical pest-control puzzles, over-the-top RAT Physics™, and a weird, darkly funny experience for just $3.49. Perfect for fans of physics-driven comedy—or anyone ready for a good shake.
