About the game

A penniless rogue makes his way through sheer wit and mischief. In Rookie Rook you solve each level by building sentences from word blocks (verbs and objects) to sneak in, create a distraction and grab the prize without anyone noticing.

Inspired by Tiny Thief and the Spanish picaresque novel (Lazarillo de Tormes, El Buscón).
