Taskey is on the path to grow their library with a brand new horror board game, turn based affair called Midnight Toybox. Coming from the studio’s new label – Rabidbit Games. If you’re a strategy enthusiast, particularly one who craves an immersive horror experience and tactical board strategy on PC, this news is for you. Taskey aims to offer you a chance to dip your toes into the water before diving deep with the help of Next Fest.

Free demo launches on Steam during Next Fest with bomb-tricking mechanics

Midnight Toybox brings a child’s bedroom to life as a treacherous battlefield of strategy. In this game, the key to victory lies in outplaying your opponents. Your main objectives are to either capture the enemy pieces or lure them into capturing bombs.

This innovative approach to board game mechanics gives Midnight Toybox a distinct edge over other board game adaptations. It introduces an element of psychological strategy to the turn-based game, making it a whole new experience.

Right now, you can grab a free demo of Midnight Toybox on Steam for the duration of October 19 – 26 during the Steam Next Fest. Supported languages include English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. This wide range of language options means that the demo is likely to attract a large audience during its initial phase. With the demo, you can get a taste of the bomb-tricking mechanics and the rules around capturing pieces before the official release.

The final release date for Midnight Toybox is set for early December 2026. The relatively long time frame indicates that Taskey may be putting extra effort into building a horror-infused experience, and ensuring strategic gameplay. So, if you're intrigued by Midnight Toybox, be sure to keep an eye on the Steam page during the Next Fest event for the latest on the final release.
