Pencils Down is an analog horror roguelike where you take a 44-question exam under the watch of an unseen proctor. Wager confidence chips on answers, risk erasers on red-ink questions, and face questions generated from your real-time mistakes. Three exam forms offer escalating dread, while a meta-progression system lets you buy study aids that may help or doom you. Five endings, 400+ period-authentic questions, and a creeping sense of being watched make this a uniquely personal nightmare. Played entirely offline with mouse and keyboard.
