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 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.
