10 Incredible Video Games You Can Finish In Under An Hour
3. RATSHAKER (2024)
A psychological horror game where the only mechanic revolves around choking and shaking a rat? If that doesn't grab your attention, then what possibly can?
The aptly named RATSHAKER is a bizarre horror comedy that can be finished in a tight sitting. You play a nameless protagonist as they explore their home, slowly uncovering the depth of the sins that plague them. Like many horror games of its ilk, the story centres on a deeply flawed person facing penance for their crimes. However, this one features rat torture, so it's hard to call it unoriginal.
Naturally, while the game has an incredibly goofy concept and often plays up to its silliness, it's still an effective, surreal scarefest, featuring some frightening moments and a lot of thrilling tension. You'll soon forget the absurdity of its rodent theme as you explore dark environments and face horrific narrative implications.
If you've got an hour to spare and have always wondered what Silent Hill would be like with a screaming cartoon rat (who hasn't, right?), then this is one for you.
