Where to buy The Hour of the Rat at the best price? As of 21 Aug 2026 this title has one offer, $2.99 at Steam. On PC that is the usual case, because only about one title in four gets a keyshop offer and the rest stay with the platform store. There is nothing to compare, but we track this price daily and show how it stands against earlier readings, and a price alert will tell you about any drop. On PC you buy a key that you activate in Steam or another client, and this is the widest market we track, with more than a quarter of games carrying a keyshop offer.

The Hour of the Rat - about the game
Three ninjas set out to assassinate the emperor during the hour of the rat. Pick one ninja to start, relying on their unique strengths, and switch to others upon death in this indie action game. Choose your play order carefully, as you lose all items when you die and must decide whether to grab them now or save for the next run. Master movement with arrow keys to run, jump, duck, and defend, while spacebar handles kicks, sword strikes, and star throws. Switch weapons with shift, tab, or ctrl, and activate scrolls using Z or X. Unlock hidden techniques like double jumps off lanterns, enemies, or projectiles, plus skid jumps after quick dashes-perfect for quick 1-2 hour sessions that demand precise ninja selection and strategy.
