Cheat or Repeat

The short indie horror game Cheat or Repeat blends stealth and quick reflexes. Slackers must cheat on tests without getting caught by teachers.

Main Mechanism

Look up the answers on your phone and finish ten multiple-choice questions in ten minutes.

The game ends instantly if you are caught staring at your phone.

How to Take Part

To open your phone, press the spacebar. Then swiftly type the characters that appear on the screen to fill the search bar.
The correct answer appears when the search bar is full.
Depending on your phone's orientation, use the number keys 1-4 to select the answer.
Use the mouse to navigate the exam room, and right-click to observe the instructor.
To avoid being caught, return to your test as soon as the teacher approaches.

Difficulty Levels

Each of the four exam days features a different teacher: Mr. Redstone, Prof. Keys, and Ms. Dela.
The difficulty increases each day as the teacher moves more quickly and pays closer attention.
You can unlock the following day only after finishing the current one.

Advices

Important Details

Tense and funny: a blend of typical classroom scenarios with a hint of fear.

Fast reflexes: players must type rapidly while paying close attention.

No chance to resurrect: being discovered once results in immediate defeat, heightening the tension.
