The co-op sim puts up to four players online, or one solo, as students who have not studied for final exams. Passing means peeking at a smart classmate's answer sheet, bringing transceivers, mobile phones and binoculars, or passing textbooks and cheat sheets around without the teacher noticing. Getting caught brings punishments. Break time is for planning the next exam or playing in the hallway. It launches October 30 on Steam, with Japanese support listed.","whyItMatters":"The 100,000 wishlist mark is a public demand reading for a sim whose entire loop is the cheating rather than the studying, and it lands before the October 30 Steam launch.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe cheating is the game, and the kit is small: transceivers, mobile phones, binoculars, textbooks and cheat sheets to pass around.
