About this game
For the crime of cheese theft, Piper the mouse has been imprisoned in the highest tower of the Rats' castle. These Rats wield the power of "Rules", mighty scrolls that grant the holder commanding power.
Piper 'borrows' a Rules Scroll, escaping their cell and ready to face the Castle's many traps and puzzles. The descent will be tricky, but with the power of Rules, perhaps Piper can just squeak through! 🐁💨
