About This Game

Play as Soot. He’s got sharp wits, quick hands, and a complete disregard for the rules—everything it takes to be a great thief, but he's got a lot to learn.

When Soot swipes a coin pouch from Mr. E., the enigmatic Rogue Studies professor, he falls right into a trap. But instead of a jail cell, Soot gets an invitation to Vanderute Academy, a prestigious school for adventurers.

Now, he must pose as the academy’s newest rogue pupil while secretly helping Mr. E. "acquire" its most valuable treasure. Pulling off an epic heist won't be easy with the infamous Caretaker eager to catch anyone who breaks the rules...

• Explore the school each night after curfew to find all 100 mysterious keys to unlock the ancient vault. These are well-hidden, often behind traps, puzzles, and sometimes both.

• Leap across bookshelves, climb into the rafters, sneak through forbidden corridors, hidden passages, locked classrooms, restricted archives, and even the dungeons beneath the school. Keep an eye out for magical Rogue Marks that hint at nearby secrets.

• After dark, the academy becomes far more dangerous. Avoid wandering spellbooks, swarms of bats, and, most importantly, the magical detection beams scanning the halls. Dodge through them or find the hidden switch to disarm them.

• Your classmates remember how you treat them. They'll react to what you do, say, and even what you wear. Do favors to earn their respect, or just empty their pockets when they aren't looking. Earn extra money doing classmate contracts: Sabotage exams, plant evidence, vandalize school property, or just turn in late homework.

• Stock up on gadgets from the secret student shop!

  • Use Bang Bags to make a distraction... or just set things on fire

  • Toss Stink Sacks to deter enemies... or attract the gross ones

  • Drink Mighty Milk to shove heavy obstacles aside

  • Sip See-All Syrup to reveal invisible creatures, doors, or platforms

  • Splash a Puddle Pouch to extinguish lights so you can sneak through the shadows

  • Use Pouncy Putty for a major jump boost

  • Collect uniforms of the other classes or other wearable items to disguise yourself

Find all 100 keys, open the vault, and pull off the most epic adventure the school for adventuring has ever seen!
