CheatDev announced that CheatCheat has exceeded 100,000 wishlist registrations on Steam in under a month since its store page went live. The game is a cooperative cheating game for up to six players set in a school run by visually demonic teachers. Players face extremely difficult tests and must steal answers by stretching their necks to peek at other students, using magic to see through others' eyes, or checking answers while a student is knocked out. Paper airplanes can also be used to share answers between players. Teachers and teaching assistants patrol during exams, and getting caught results in punishment. Cheating off the teacher's favorite student may lead to being reported. Beyond tests, the game includes extracurricular activities like dodgeball tournaments, pushing or rescuing nerds locked in lockers, and starting food fights. CheatCheat is in development for PC via Steam.
