Cheat or Repeat

Cheat or Repeat is a stealth-horror pixel-art game where you must cheat on exams to survive, facing monstrous proctors and psychological pressure.

Game Setting

You're trapped in Redstone Middle School. Your only way out is your diploma. But there's a problem: you haven't studied. You haven't prepared, revised, or filled your mind with anything but anxiety.

Your only weapon is a phone hidden under your desk. Each exam day is a fight for survival. The proctors aren't ordinary people; they're monstrous creatures that can teleport, appear from the shadows, and send shivers down your spine if caught.

Released by Azgames on April 29, 2026, the game offers a tense experience spanning four days of exams with increasing difficulty.

How to Play Cheat or Repeat: Surviving 4 Days of Exams

Day 1: Basic Invigilator Patrols

Invigilators move along predictable routes. This is the day to familiarise yourself with the core mechanics: observe, wait, and act at the right time.

Controls:

• Left mouse → look at the exam (safe zone)
• Right mouse → observe the room
• Space key → open your phone (danger zone)

Tip:

• Only unlock your phone when the invigilator has completely turned away.
• Listen for footsteps to pinpoint their location.
• Don't be greedy. One or two characters at a time is enough.

Day 2: Faster Patrol Speed

Invigilators start moving faster. The safe gaps between patrols become very short. You can't afford to be slow.

Use the WASD keys in combination with Q/E to enter search keywords. Enter only short phrases, 1–2 characters at a time. You need to perform these actions quickly when your phone is turned on.

Tip:

• Never hold your phone down for more than 2 seconds at a time.
• If you hear footsteps approaching, immediately turn off your phone.

Day 3: The Invigilator's Unexpected Movement

This is the real turning point. The invigilator can disappear and reappear at any location in the room. No more fixed routes. No more safe hiding places.

Controls:

• Use the number keys 1–4 to select answers A, B, C, and D.
• You need quick reflexes to avoid being caught while selecting.

Tip:

• Always look around the room; don't focus on a single point.
• If the sound of footsteps suddenly disappears, put away your phone immediately.
• The movement often happens when you've just turned on your phone.

Day 4: Sound Effects and Hallucinations

The invigilators no longer attack you physically. They attack your mind. Fake sounds, phantom footsteps, and glitch images flashing all over the screen.

Tip:

• Don't completely trust your headphones; some sounds are just interference.
• When images start glitching, look at your exam paper (a safe zone) and wait.
• Stay calm. Panic is the biggest enemy on the final day.
• If in doubt, choose an answer based on intuition instead of desperately searching and taking risks.

Conclusion

Cheat or Repeat is a horror game that emphasizes concentration, multitasking, and staying calm under pressure. Each exam day is a new challenge, each invigilator a different nightmare. If you enjoy the thrill, the suspense, and the feeling of victory after countless failures, this title is the game for you. And after surviving four days of testing, try your hand at Quenq Vice City, where crime-ridden streets and chaotic action await your dominance.
