A game built by the community, for the community, being developed by Firecast Studio to connect people around the world.&#x20;

RaT (Rent a Thief) is a cartoonish action-sabotage game in which animal thieves infiltrate heavily guarded mansions and museums to steal the most precious artifacts.&#x20;

Collect objects through the scenery, set traps for your rivals, rob them, and show them who is the master. After all, there can only be one contract king!&#x20;

Originally envisioned in 2016, RaT had its idea taken up and approved at Startup Rio in 2020, a training and acceleration program for digital entrepreneurs in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
