Real Life Sunbay: Cheat Menu & God Mode — How to Activate
Want full control over your playthrough in Real Life Sunbay? The game includes a built-in cheat menu and God Mode that let you unlock all scenes, access bonus content, and gain powerful advantages without grinding. Since the activation method changes depending on your build, this guide covers every confirmed hotkey combination from the latest v1.9.2 Beta all the way back to the earliest versions.
How to Activate God Mode & Cheat Menu in v1.9.2 Beta
The latest version uses a simple two-step keyboard shortcut system. You can toggle both features independently depending on what you need.
| Hotkey Combination | Feature | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Ctrl + Shift + G | God Mode | Enables invincibility and unlocks all content instantly |
| Ctrl + Shift + B | Cheat Menu | Opens the in-game cheat interface with bonus options |
Note: Press the keys simultaneously while in-game. If the menu does not appear, make sure your keyboard layout is set to English and that no other application is capturing the input.
Cheat Menu Hotkeys for Older Versions
If you are playing an older build of Real Life Sunbay, the activation method differs. Use the table below to find the correct combination for your version.
| Game Version | Hotkey Combination | Best Used |
|---|---|---|
| v1.9.2 Beta | Ctrl + Shift + G / Ctrl + Shift + B | Anywhere in-game |
| v0.4.10 | Shift + W + F | Anywhere in-game |
| v0.3.2 | Ctrl + Shift + Q | Anywhere in-game |
| v2020.09 (November build) | Ctrl + B | Outside buildings only |
| v2020.09 (November build alt) | Alt + V | Outside buildings only |
Important Tip for v2020.09 Builds
For the November 2020 build and similar early versions, the cheat menu works most reliably when you are outside and not inside a building. The developer notes that the specific combination may change at any time, so if Ctrl + B does not work, try Alt + V instead.
What Does God Mode Do?
When you activate God Mode with Ctrl + Shift + G, the following effects are applied instantly:
- All scenes unlocked — gain immediate access to every cinematic and event in the game.
- Bonus content enabled — unlock extra features and options that normally require specific choices or progression.
- Free upgrades — bypass currency or item requirements for various in-game bonuses.
What Does the Cheat Menu Do?
The Cheat Menu (activated with Ctrl + Shift + B in v1.9.2) opens a dedicated interface where you can toggle specific options, adjust variables, and customize your experience. It is more granular than God Mode and lets you pick exactly which bonuses you want active.
Quick Reference Cheat Sheet
| Version | God Mode | Cheat Menu |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is the cheat menu not opening?
Make sure you are using the correct hotkey for your specific version. Also verify that your keyboard layout is set to English and that no overlay software (Discord, Steam, etc.) is intercepting the keypress. For early builds, try activating the menu while standing outside.
Can I use God Mode and Cheat Menu at the same time?
Yes. In v1.9.2 Beta, you can activate both Ctrl + Shift + G and Ctrl + Shift + B independently. They do not conflict and can be used together for maximum control.
Will using cheats disable achievements or progress?
Using built-in cheat features may prevent certain progress trackers or unlock notifications from firing. If you want to preserve a clean playthrough, create a separate save file before activating God Mode or the Cheat Menu.
Do these cheats work on all platforms?
The hotkey combinations listed here are confirmed for the PC version. If you are playing on a different platform, the activation method may vary or may not be available.
Are these cheats safe to use?
Yes. These are official built-in features included by the developers. They do not require third-party software, mods, or file editing and are completely safe for single-player use.
Why does the v2020.09 cheat only work outside?
Early builds of the game restricted the cheat menu detection to outdoor environments to prevent conflicts with interior trigger zones. If you are inside a building, step outside and try the combination again.
Final Tips
Getting the most out of Real Life Sunbay's cheat system is easy once you know the right hotkey for your version. Keep these recommendations in mind:
- Check your version number in the main menu or settings before trying any combination.
- Save your game before toggling God Mode, especially if you want to keep a normal progression file.
- For v1.9.2 Beta, use Ctrl + Shift + G for instant full unlocks and Ctrl + Shift + B for granular control.
- For older builds, always try the hotkey while outside first.
- If a combination fails, restart the game and try again with the English keyboard layout active.
