About Cheat or Repeat
A tense indie horror exam game where you secretly use your phone to find answers without getting caught by strict teachers.
Cheat or Repeat: Cheat or Retake
Ready to step into the shoes of a student who hasn’t studied and must now sneakily rely on their phone to cheat? The teachers won’t make it easy. Will you pass the exams by cheating without getting caught? Play Cheat or Repeat, use your stealth, and react quickly to answer all the questions.
Gameplay & Story
Cheat or Repeat is a short indie horror game where you play as a student taking an exam and must cheat to pass without being caught. You have 10 minutes to find answers for 10 multiple-choice questions (one minute per question on average).
However, strict teachers patrol the exam room frequently. If they catch you looking at your phone, the game ends immediately with no chance to retry. There are 4 exam days, each with stricter teachers: Ms. Dela, Prof. Keys, and Mr. Redstone. You can only unlock the next day by completing the current one. Can you finish them all as tension and time pressure mount?
How to Play Cheat or Repeat
As the game starts, you’re at your desk with an exam paper. It’s time to fill it out with your phone’s help while acting normal.
Search for Answers on Phone
Press the Spacebar to look at your phone and quickly type any letters appearing on it to fill the search bar. Once full, the correct answer appears.
Fill in the Exam Sheet
Choose the answer using Number Keys 1-4 based on the phone’s direction. Be sure to pick the right one. Though you can proceed if wrong, too many mistakes lower your score.
Watch the Teacher
If you’re looking at your exam sheet, click the Right Mouse Button and move the mouse to look around. When the teacher is near, switch back to your sheet immediately until they move away. If the teacher’s position seems strange, stare at them until they disappear.
