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.
The typical time comes from the diary. Per category, it is the median time reported by people who finished it and, without enough answers, the diary time.
