About I Didn't Cheat

Step into the shoes of a desperate student facing those nerve-wracking final exams in "I Didn’t Cheat," an indie adventure brimming with tension, humor, and stealthy thrills. Developed for browser play and free to try via itch.io, this easy-to-pick-up HTML5 title drops you right into a vivid school setting, where strict teachers stalk the exam halls and each question feels trickier than the last. Vivid pixel art and charming animations bring the world of Redstone Middle School to life, capturing not just the academic stress but the mischievous spirit of every student who's ever been tempted to bend the rules.

You’re out of your depth, staring at a daunting exam sheet, knowing the only way forward is to sneak a peek at your phone. But with ever-watchful teachers and new guards every day, you’ll need to rely on quick reflexes and sharper wits to avoid detection. Each day intensifies as staff rotate their patrol patterns and up their game, forcing you to adapt, anticipate, and act fast. The game's clever design ensures you never face the same challenge twice, keeping the adrenaline high and the stakes personal.

"I Didn’t Cheat" masterfully balances nerve-jangling suspense and playful narrative, inviting you to relive (or rewrite!) all-too-familiar school exam moments. Its easy learning curve and intuitive controls mean anyone can dive right in – but only the craftiest players will survive all four days without getting caught! Can you make it to graduation without a single infraction, or will your undercover cheating spree be exposed?

With its accessible browser platform, this indie gem is perfect for quick breaks or competitive marathons with friends. Will you risk it all for that passing grade – or can you wing it under pressure? Load up "I Didn’t Cheat," embrace the nostalgia, and put your stealth skills to the test. The classroom is waiting – do you have what it takes to escape undetected?

How to Play

Begin your adventure as a student faced with exams you aren’t prepared for. When the teacher turns away, use your phone to find answers – but be quick! Every moment spent looking at your phone increases your risk of getting caught. Watch for your teacher’s patrol movements; each new day brings a different supervisor with new patterns and behaviors.

Controls are simple: use your mouse or keyboard (Spacebar) to quickly switch between your exam sheet and your hidden phone. Only check your phone when the teacher’s eyes are off you; if they catch you in the act, it’s game over for the day. Timing and anticipation are key, so take note of each teacher’s rhythm and plan your cheating windows accordingly.

Remember, you must survive four consecutive exam days—each more challenging than the last—to graduate. Review tutorial prompts and adjust your strategy as guard tactics evolve. For maximum success, stay calm under pressure and don’t get greedy: sometimes, leaving a few questions blank is the safest path forward. Ready to ace the world’s most intense test? Prove your stealth and brains in "I Didn’t Cheat!"
