DEAD TIME
Released 22 October 2026 · PC · Casual, Indie, Strategy
Nobody can see the timers. 2–8 players strapped to their chairs at a sinister game-show table, shock collars on: estimate time blind, bluff, call people out. Miss the time and the collar answers; get doubted and the doubter pulls the trigger. Local, online or solo vs. bots.
Story
DEAD TIME is a blind-timer game : a sinister TV game show where 2 to 8 guests sit at the table, put on shock collars and compete over who has the best internal clock. Nobody sees the timers — all the tension comes from estimating time, bluffing with a straight face and reading everyone else's despair. Miss badly? The show charges you on the spot, and the charge tells everyone what happened. Blew the time on your own: the collar answers. Got doubted — or doubted and got it wrong: whoever is on the other side of that call draws the dart gun and collects in person, with the whole table watching. Out of lives, you slump onto the table and stay there, strapped in, watching the rest of the match happen. 4 game modes PRECISION — everyone runs a hidden timer, one single chance to stop closest to the target. Farthest pays. CALL IT — ONE shared timer nobody sees. Run it as long as you dare and pass… or shout CALL IT. Pure bluffing. BULLSEYE — nail the exact time on your turn; accumulated tension drops the round's worst. The pace and how many fall scale with the size of the table. IMPOSTOR — everyone sees the target except one. Blend in, deduce, vote — 4 players and up. At the table ...
