Eyes On The Exam

Eyes On The Exam places you in a classroom that feels both ordinary and deeply wrong. The setting is still—desks, papers, quiet students, and a test that needs to be filled out. But something watches from the front of the room, and it’s not just checking your answers. From the moment the game begins, you are balancing the task of completing an exam with the growing fear of being seen. Every moment is a decision between solving the next question and staying invisible to the presence in charge.

Observation as a Dangerous Tool

Unlike traditional puzzle games, Eyes On The Exam forces you to rely on observation under threat. You cannot freely explore or examine without consequences. The room holds answers—but they’re hidden on other students’ papers, in the corners of the board, or scribbled in fading pencil near your desk. Movement is subtle and always a risk. The figure at the front reacts to your actions. Looking around might give you what you need to advance, or it might bring the session to an abrupt end.

Core Systems That Define the Game Loop

·         Answer-based progression under time pressure

·         Visual stealth mechanics triggered by head movement

·         Diegetic clues spread across the classroom

·         Randomized questions and changing patterns per session

·         Secrets that reveal themselves over repeated attempts

These mechanics work together to turn a quiet room into a space full of tension, where knowledge and caution must exist side by side.

Unfolding a Hidden Narrative

At first, the goal seems simple: finish the test. But with each attempt, new layers appear. Strange messages, unusual sounds, and shifting patterns in the environment suggest that the exam is not what it seems. Certain questions start to repeat, classmates behave oddly, and the figure at the front begins reacting in new ways. The classroom becomes a puzzle of its own, with moments that hint at something larger behind the exam. This isn’t just a test of knowledge—it’s a loop that wants to be broken.

The More You Know, the Less Safe It Becomes

Eyes On The Exam is a game about learning under pressure, but also about noticing what’s changing around you. The more confident you become in finding answers, the more you’re tempted to take risks—and those risks make the creature more aware of you. There is no clear path to success, only strategies you build through repetition and attention. Each attempt gets you closer to the truth, but also deeper into something that might not want to be understood. The exam never ends. The classroom never really lets you leave.
