Detention Desertion
Sneak away from detention before the teacher notices!
You've been put into detention for the whole week! But you have so many more fun things you could be doing... So you're going to sneak out!
Use WASD/Arrow Keys to move to the door to get out. Hit Space when near a desk to sit down. Make sure you're sitting when the teacher wakes up - and don't take too long to escape, or the bus will go home without you!
Created in three hours for Trijam #254.

Very effective horror experience
Spoilers ahead, please play before reading.
Took me like three tries but I finally got it! There is quite a bit of strategy to this: 1) learning that the teacher wakes up a bit after the sound, 2) learning that you can exit the chair a tiny bit BEFORE he goes back to sleep (or am i imagining that?) 3) learning that traveling diagonally is way faster than cardinally! I enjoyed most the times where I had to devote an entire iteration purely on orienting myself on the other side of a desk -- bit of a fun puzzle, that was. I also liked when the correct path was the circuitous one, and the direct path was a red herring leading to ruin. Great work!
I'm happy you enjoyed it! 😄
No, you're absolutely correct - numbers 1 and 2 are intentional leeway I left for the player, to make the gameplay feel fair/exploit it for speed, if they notice. Number 3 shouldn't actually be the case though, so if it is faster, that's probably a bug 😅
I actually intended to have more active obstacles, such as other students that walk in a path around the desks that get in your way. But I ran out of time, which surprised me because I thought it was a really simple concept! Not sure where my time went...
Thanks again for playing!
