About Miscreant
Play as Soot. He’s got sharp wits, quick hands, and a complete disregard for the rules.
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 collecting mysterious keys to open a legendary vault under the school.
--- Features ---
- 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 spell books, swarms of bats, and, most importantly, the magical detection beams scanning the halls. Most importantly, avoid the creepy Caretaker or it's detention in the dungeons!
- 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.
- Stock up on gadgets from the secret student shop and use them to solve puzzles, defeat enemies, torment your classmates, and collect loot!
Find all 100 keys, open the vault, and pull off the most epic heist the school has ever seen!
