How does the game fit the theme?
The game takes place in a "strange" school, a familiar place that becomes strange with unsettling things, how hard it could be to cheat in this school?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I took a coin sound online and the rest is ALL made from scratch.
How many people worked on the game?2

Interesting idea. It's very terrifying and it's a strange place for sure. Good job !
Thank you for commenting :)
Interesting concept.
A clearer tutorial or onboarding would help, as some gameplay interactions felt unclear.
Solid base overall.
Feel free to check out our game too.
Thank you! I’ll of course check your game out later
I liked being able to look around the classroom and hunt for those folded notes. That part was cool. The cryptic hints tied to the answer choices made it feel like you were actually piecing something together instead of just guessing.
And yeah......the teacher is genuinely unsettling lol. The little environmental detail like the posters add to the overall mood too. This game definitely fits the theme. It's chaotic, but in a memorable way.
Thank you for commenting! The chaotic and unsettling environment was kinda what I was aiming for, glad I reached that goal :)
No clue what was going on, but the atmosphere was immaculate! The art could use some work, but it was still pretty fun to search around for hints.
Thank you for commenting!
I don't think I understand what happened, and after some presses around the game, I've got an S for some reason. This is such a shame, cause a cheating in exams game sounds really cool and exciting. The vibe of the game is really good, though. It's super spooky, and the teacher(?) is quite scary when she gets angry. Anyway, I do think this is quite an interesting entry. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for the comment and for giving honest feedback! For the camera panning; I kinda agree with you, it doesn’t add much to the game, I only added it to make the buttons to switch view visible. On the next patch I absolutely need to fix some items and add more feedback, unfortunately I couldn’t do it due to the deadline. And for the lore explanation: I was planning to make a game sequel after the patch. 👀
I dont understand anything but its funny
Thank you for commenting! Glad you still found it entertaining!
I have no idea what happened, but at least I got a B. I'll take it.
Thank you for commenting :)
I'm not into creepy games, but I really had fun playing this! The mixture of scariness with humour and a quite unique art style was very appealing. I really liked the vibe you created! All together I think you nailed the theme extremely well, this was one of the strangest places I've seen so far :)
I had to keep dying to find some answers (maybe that is the intention?) and that didn't feel as good as when I found something out that I could use later (for example the sign on the right of the staff door when you take a bathroom break). Again I dont play these games much so maybe you do have to die a few times before you get it. And that game over animation was extremely creepy lol, well done!
Thank you for playing the game! Really glad you liked it, regarding the answers, yes you may want to fail sometimes to achieve some infos, but it’s not the main way to progress. I didn’t think the game over animation was that creepy lol :), but my point of view is not that fair because I’ve seen that animation countless times so I kinda get used to it, thank you for commenting :).
So creepy! I'm not usually into horror until lately. My game is a horror game too, but I don't think it's this terrifying lol
I genuinely had to turn it off after the first "you cheated!". Could be because I didn't sleep last night.
But great job! I was literally questioning reality for a second there. Not personally my kind of game, but for the type of game you were going for I'd say you nailed it! 10/10 would play again if I need to stay awake a little longer lol
Thank you for playing! Maybe playing this with a few hours of sleep isn’t the best choice lol. Honestly, I’m surprised that the jumpscare feels scary to people (and I’m happy about that) because when I was play testing it wasn’t scaring me (and I’m a wuss) maybe I got used to it lol :)
That's the same way I am with my game lol. People were saying they got really scared from it And I wasn't getting scared by my game at all. Oh by the way it wasn't exactly the jump scare that got me. It was just a general vibe of the whole game had me feeling like I was on an acid trip or something lmao. I have schizophrenia and it almost felt like I had an episode coming on 🤣 I was literally like "oh sh* maybe this is a dream"
Not totally sure what was going on, but I avoided the answers that would kill me and passed the exam just fine (lowkey the story of my academic life). Really loved the creepy vibes in the game though, genuinely felt like being pressured by some weird alien(?) creature.
Thank you for commenting :)
I loved the freaky atmosphere and the art. i tried my best and was able to get an s rank
Good joooob!! Thank you for commenting!
To be honest, I didn't know what I was doing, but for some reason, I really enjoyed it, even though I didn't know why I cheated. :D
Thank you for playing! Some answers on the test can make you die even if you don’t cheat, should have put more jumpscares animations, my fault :)
This is so freaky and I'm absolutely here for it. The eerie music and sound effects do so much for it, and even though everything looks hastily drawn and not quite right - it adds to the environment so well that I wouldn't have had it any other way. The test is so eery and I couldn't help but to be intrigued at the mystery of everything. Nothing made sense - which is beautifully on theme for this jam. I only wish it would've been longer!
Thank you so much for the review!! Maybe after the jam I’ll make the game a little longer :)
I got a D, but I still felt like a winner for surviving at all.
Thank you for playing the game, and yeah as some of the tickets you can find in the classroom says: “Someone failed before you”. So finishing the test is already a great goal
Took a bit to understand, but the process of learning was pretty enjoyable! I did get spooked at first, did not expect that. I got a B, ill take it.
Thank you for the review :)
Not gonna lie, it was very confusing but I liked it.
I got a C but I will still give a try again later to try to crack this puzzle.
Thank you for the review! And also thank you fot being sincere, it’s very helpful to improve the game, hope you get an A next time you try it. 👀
I got a C :[
