What Is Ransacked?

Ransacked is a stealth thieving game in the third-person perspective, where a player controls a thief who can steal almost anything. During the experience the player travels between the Thieves Guild and a nearby village, looting homes for their items, avoiding guards, and selling stolen goods for gold.

Ransacked is currently being developed by a 12 person group called, Real Nifty Games, for UCF’s Spring 2018 Game Workshop Class.
