Riddle School 4 is a Flash "game" released by Jonochrome (formerly JonBro) as an April Fool's joke on Newgrounds. It was at one point intended to be a proper fourth Riddle School game, but was cancelled early in development.

Scrapped Windows

Originally, the game was going to add an expanded inventory system and a new mechanic, a notebook for typing down info. The note-taking system has a tiny bit of code remaining, as you can actually type into the note window. The window mysteriously mentions a Save Station, the player would have to go to to save their notes.

Originally, you were able to pop out the inventory as its own window. It seems also combining items worked differently earlier, as you had to drag them to each slot and then press the button to combine them rather than simply dragging one item over the other. Weirdly, it has a textbox to the left identical from the notebook window. It seems to still have coding.

Same with the inventory but with the map. Seems to have coding and the textbox also. The map in this is actually different from the final game's map, possibly meaning this may have been an early layout.

Scrapped Puzzle Graphics and Animations

The broken tile on the floor was intended to move out of the way to reveal a grate below. The animation is still present.

The pencil sharpener was intended to have a pencil in it for the puzzle.

Scrapped Puzzle Items

There are item icons for the inventory and cursor left in the game intended for the first puzzle of the game before it was scrapped.
