Next Fest demo available now!
Experience your first shift as our fox-headed mechanic Wilbur, fixing spaceships for ungrateful customers and an even more ungrateful corporate overlord. How many runs will it take you to make R.E.N.T.?
Join the devs for their livestream at 10pm BST on June 10th, where they’ll be talking about the game while trying to beat the current demo record for most money earned in a single R.E.N.T. cycle. Think you can beat the record? Head over to the Discord to take part.
Want to design a unique customer for the game? Me too, but I was told my ideas are too deranged – which is saying a lot for a game like Rocket Shop. Apparently they’d rather trust a rando like you; click here to learn more (we’re also giving away T-shirts and Steam keys to a lucky few).
See you there!
Come join the developer livestream!
Watch the developers at 10pm BST/2pm PT try to beat the current record for number of coins earned in a single R.E.N.T. cycle, while explaining the game's design and answering all your questions.
