Terms

VERSION t1 · NOVEMBER 2026

Rats With Wings is made by Clouthier Simulation Labs, a sole proprietorship run by Kyle Clouthier in Petawawa, Ontario, Canada. These are the terms for playing it. They are short on purpose.

Who can play

The game has swearing, dark humour and voice chat with other players. You must be 18 or older to play. By playing you confirm you are, and you agree to these terms. If you are under 18, please close the page.

Your trips are recorded, and what that means

Every trip is recorded as moves: where each player walked, when they gripped and let go, the call buttons they pressed, and what happened to the parcel. No name is attached. The name on your vest is shown to your crew during the trip and is not stored with the record.

By playing you agree that these records are research data, and that we may use them and license them to companies and researchers who build and test AI and robotics systems, including letting those customers share them with their own partners. This is how the game pays for itself. It is free, with nothing to buy.

A trip holds the moves of everyone in the crew together and cannot be split, so the same terms cover every player in it.

Voice

Voice chat goes directly between the players' browsers. It is live only. We do not record it, store it or receive it.

Changing your mind

You can ask us to stop using your future trips, or to delete your past ones, at any time. See the privacy page for how. A dataset that has already been delivered to a customer cannot be recalled; we say that now so it is not a surprise later.

Playing fair

Do not harass other players, do not try to break the service, and do not use the game to do anything illegal. We may remove anyone from a crew or block access to keep the game usable for others.

No promises

The game is provided as it is. It may change, break or go offline. To the extent the law allows, Clouthier Simulation Labs is not liable for losses from using it. The laws of Ontario, Canada apply.

Changes

If these terms change, the version at the top changes with them, and each trip stores the version its players agreed to.
