Loopr Partners and developer Twin Beacon Studio announced the co-op adventure game All Rats on Deck for PC via Steam in Q4 2026. Players control rats driven from their swamp home who pilot a steamboat built from scrap toward the open sea. The game supports online co-op for up to four players and includes proximity voice chat. Crews split tasks: steering, repairing damage, fighting fires, and gathering materials. The ship carries a detachable boat grapple gun that can pull the vessel toward fixed objects, grab distant materials, pick up friends, or move rocks and activate mechanisms. Fuel must be fed continuously to the engine, and the game allows anything to be used as fuel, though some materials cause side effects or explosions. Twin Beacon Studio is a Netherlands-based indie studio founded in February 2026, and All Rats on Deck is its first game. A demo is planned for Steam Next Fest in October 2026. As of the store page, the game does not list Japanese among its supported languages.
