EXAM WATCH!

Game premise and progression

EXAM WATCH! is a simulation game that places you in the role of an academic starting a career in education. You begin as an unemployed individual and must search for university job openings, submit applications, and attend interviews. Once hired, you take on responsibilities like advising students, supervising exams, grading papers, and building your academic reputation. Your decisions influence your career trajectory, allowing you to evolve from a research assistant to a professor or even a department chair at more prestigious institutions.

Responsibilities in academia

In the game, you manage various academic tasks and build relationships with students. You observe students during exams from a first-person viewpoint, being vigilant for potential cheating. You can make choices about how to handle suspicious behavior, with these decisions impacting your reputation and the relationships you cultivate with students. This adds a layer of complexity, as not every situation has a straightforward answer, requiring careful judgment on your part.
