I have a confession: my Steam library is basically a landfill with a search bar. So when a bundle called Garbage Dwellers shows up and promises a whole heap of scrappy critters, trash goblins, and rat-based chaos for as little as CA$6.94, I do not clutch my wallet—I clutch my broom and dive in. The Garbage Dwellers Humble Bundle packs 14 items with a combined value of around US$308 into one delightfully grubby package, and it runs until October 10, 2026. Everything redeems on Steam, and purchases support Canine Companions, which means you can feel smug about buying games with rats in them. That is what I call a win-win with extra cheese.
Now, I am not saying this bundle was tailor-made for me, but it does include a game called RATSHAKER. If that is not a personal attack on my browser history, I do not know what is. The headliner is A Plague Tale: Innocence from Asobo Studio, which normally costs CAD 54.99. If you have somehow missed Amicia and Hugo's rat-swarmed journey, this is a cracking excuse to finally play it. It is grim, gorgeous, and absolutely lousy with rodents—basically my ideal weekend, minus the actual plague.
Then there is Tails Noir by Eggnut, a stylish detective story with a CAD 32.50 MSRP. If you want more of that moody, furry-noir vibe, Tails Noir Preludes (CAD 21.00) is also in the pile. Co-op fans get a proper haul from Fatshark: Warhammer: Vermintide 2 (CAD 33.99), Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide (CAD 32.99), and Collector's Edition upgrades for both. That is enough rat-slaying to make a skaven write a strongly worded letter. Honestly, the value here is not a dumpster fire—it is a dumpster bonanza.
Here is the rest of the grubby goodness, complete with MSRPs, because I am a professional and professionals love tables:
| Game or Item | MSRP |
|---|---|
| WAR RATS: The Rat em Up by wootusart Industries | CAD 16.80 |
| Maze Mice by TrampolineTales | CAD 12.99 |
| Brew by Snow Leaf Studios | CAD 28.01 |
| RATSHAKER by Sunscorched Studios | CAD 4.19 |
| Trash Goblin by Spilt Milk Studios Ltd | CAD 28.01 |
| The Spirit and the Mouse by Alblune | CAD 22.79 |
| Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - Collector's Edition Upgrade by Fatshark | CAD 18.49 |
| Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide Collector's Edition Upgrade by Fatshark | CAD 16.99 |
I know what you are thinking: that is a lot of games about vermin, garbage, and suspiciously cute little guys. And yes, the theme is tighter than a rat in a drainpipe. You have cozy tinkering with Trash Goblin, fast-paced action with WAR RATS, puzzle-platforming with Maze Mice, and whatever glorious nonsense RATSHAKER is. Brew sounds like the kind of game where you make potions and accidentally become a goblin barista. The Spirit and the Mouse gives you a softer, friendlier critter fix, because not every rodent needs a body count. Variety is the spice of trash, after all.
Let us talk brass tacks, because I am a gamer and my love language is a good deal. The bundle starts at CA$6.94, which is less than a fancy coffee and considerably more entertaining than most meetings. You get US$308 worth of stuff, all on Steam, all in one go. That is not just cheap as chips—it is cheap as the crumbs at the bottom of the chip bag. If you are a co-op gremlin, the two Vermintide games alone will keep you and your pals busy for ages. If you are a solo scavenger, A Plague Tale: Innocence is a full-blown prestige snack. And if you simply enjoy weird little games about rats, well, welcome to the club. We have jackets. They smell faintly of cheese.
My advice? Do not overthink this one. The bundle ends on October 10, 2026, and pay-what-you-want deals like this have a nasty habit of sneaking off into the night. I have already cleared a shelf in my backlog landfill, and I am ready to go full goblin mode. Whether you are here for the rats, the trash, the co-op carnage, or the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting Canine Companions, this bundle is a no-brainer. It is grubby, it is cheap, and it is absolutely packed with good stuff. In other words: absolute rat race, and I am winning.
Data referenced from GamesIndustry.biz helps frame why a niche-themed bundle like Garbage Dwellers can feel so compelling: curated collections often succeed by pairing a recognizable headliner with smaller standout indies, giving players a low-risk way to discover games they might otherwise overlook while also reinforcing the value of charity-driven digital promotions.
