Take One Cell at a Time in SpreadCheat
Norwegian indie studio Games People Play has officially released SpreadCheat on PC via Steam. This quirky and nostalgic puzzle game that reimagines the world of spreadsheets launched with a 20% discount on its $6.99 price. It promises to offer players a unique blend of math puzzles, office antics, and retro charm.
Set in a fast-paced 1990s corporate environment, SpreadCheat transforms the mundane world of Excel into an engaging playground of logic and problem-solving. Players can dive into a full story mode that tests their spreadsheet skills or take on fresh daily challenges. Whether you’re crunching numbers or covering for your absent boss, every task brings you one step closer to climbing the corporate ladder. Even possibly becoming a full-fledged “bro” of the office.
The game leans heavily into its vintage aesthetic. It features chunky interfaces, 256-color palettes, whimsical MIDI tunes, and cheeky e-mail attachments. Players are also accompanied by Corpy, a Clippy-inspired assistant who guides them through the chaos of office life.
Between puzzles, players can enjoy a variety of amusing minigames inspired by 90s tech culture. From scrubbing malware off dusty desktops to fixing disastrous PowerPoint slides, SpreadCheat blends puzzle mechanics with humor and nostalgia.
For fans of retro software, math-based gameplay, or anyone who has ever secretly enjoyed formatting spreadsheets, SpreadCheat offers a surprisingly charming take on office life with plenty of ways to turn numbers into fun.
