Publisher Wired Productions and developer ReadGraves have shadow-dropped Task Time, their new gameshow-inspired competitive party game.
Task Time is now available for Windows PC (via Steam) via early access alongside a surprise crossover with popular co-op game PEAK, letting players unlock the “Bing Bong” character cosmetic. The game will be free-to-play for 48 hours.
“We didn’t want a traditional launch,” said Leo Zullo, Co-founder and Managing Director at Wired Productions in a press release. “Task Time is built on surprise, chaos, and pure mayhem, so it made sense to launch it the same way. Dropping it live and making it free for 48 hours gives players the perfect excuse to jump in, grab some friends, and start ruining relationships immediately.”
ReadGrave creator Sam Read-Graves added, “We encourage players to embrace the jank, if only because we’ve made no serious attempt to remove it. The game works best when you meet it halfway.”
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:
Task Time is a gameshow inspired competitive party game where 8 friends dive headfirst into 6 rounds of unpredictable tasks and physics-fuelled chaos, to finish top of the leaderboard. From (some of) the people that worked on Gang Beasts and Fall Guys, this is your new favourite friendslop.
Charge into unbridled mayhem, completing unhinged tasks that let you shrink your friends, steal all their stuff, and then watch them fall into lava! You might win or you might completely flop, but hey, there (probably) won’t be any real-life consequences. Of course, nothing is fair, but that’s exactly the point.
Task Time is easy to pick up, impossible to master, and way too much fun to put down. With half a million randomised tasks, no two rounds ever play out the same. So, even the clumsiest player can pull off an absurd and glorious comeback.
Whether you embrace sabotage, survival, or pure mischief, Task Time promises non-stop hilarious moments that test your friendships and maybe even your sanity!
