About This Game

At 2:47 AM, a cracked wall in Dead End St station leads to a club that does not advertise. Behind it: one card table, one wooden tower, and the Weird Guy, waiting for you to sit down.

YOUR HAND IS THE MOUSE

RIPSTACK turns a familiar test of steady hands into a first-person game of survival. You reach into the tower yourself, and the wood fights back.

• Blocks snag, slip, twist and shove their neighbours. Some are loose. Others are holding everything up.

• Your hand shakes. Whiskey steadies it for a turn. Cheap beer calms you for the whole tower, until the third one gets you drunk.

• Run out of time or knock the tower over, and the man with the axe comes through the door.

THE TABLE CHEATS. SO CAN YOU.

A hatch in the table slides open and offers you a choice. Use one item per turn. None of them are fair:

• Cigar burns a block to ash. Butter makes a stubborn one slide right out. Duct tape sticks two together so nobody can pull them.

• Blindfold, desk fan, quad espresso and voodoo doll ruin the next player's turn.

• A mousetrap hidden on a block that only you know about.

• A magnifying glass, a polaroid that takes it all back, a tarot card, a fat stack of cash, and more.

BRING FRIENDS TO THE TABLE

• Play online with 2–4 players through Steam invites, join codes or public lobbies. At home, pass one mouse around in local hot-seat mode.

• Free-for-all or 2v2 teams, with bots to fill empty seats.

• Set the table's clocks, item offers and hazards before you begin.

DEAD DOESN'T MEAN DONE

Die in an online match and return as a ghost. Put out the lights, give somebody shaky hands, or send a train through. In 2v2, you can help the partner you left behind.

EARN YOUR PLACE

Take on the Weird Guy alone and work your way from Bronze to Diamond membership. Climb the ranks for harsher rules, new items and less room for mistakes. 20 Steam achievements, and one of them is called Impossible.

Chunky pixels, warped textures, flickering lights and an unsettling underground club. You can switch the PSX effect off in settings.

The tower is waiting. Take your turn.
