PLAYISM — the publishing label operated by Active Gaming Media Inc. — has announced it will bring Dyping Working: Task Manager, a unique PC horror adventure from developer Heaviside Creations, to Steam. The store page is now live, giving the world its first look at a game that turns “productivity” into something deeply unsettling.
From Viral Hit to Spine-Chilling Spin-Off
Dyping Working: Task Manager is the official spin-off of the free DYPING horror typing series — a phenomenon that has been played more than 700,000 times since its debut. Where the original games put players through life-or-death typing challenges, this new entry shifts focus to something even more relatable — and insidious: the modern workplace.
The premise is simple, and all too familiar: you sit down to work. But you are never alone. A series of sentient entities known only as the “Eyeballs” watch your every move. They track your mouse cursor. They notice when you switch tabs. They know when you’re slacking off. And they judge you for it.
The Horror of Always Being Seen
The game opens with you signing what appears to be a standard work agreement — only to realise you’ve consented to total surveillance. From that moment, nothing escapes the Eyeballs:
- Cursor movement — stray too far from your work area and they notice
- Tab changes — open anything unrelated and they react
- Focus and flow — sustained diligence earns quiet approval; distraction invites consequences
- Talk to them — it’s not just observation. You can converse with the Eyeballs, and their responses range from coldly professional to surprisingly personal
Keep working, and slowly a deeper story unfolds. Who — or what — are the Eyeballs? Why are they so invested in your productivity? And what really lies beneath their watchful gaze?

Why It Hits Different
Dyping Working: Task Manager doesn’t rely on jump scares or gore. Its horror is existential and everyday — the creeping feeling that someone is monitoring your output, measuring your worth, and finding you wanting. It takes the quiet anxiety of remote work, performance metrics, and always-on availability and amplifies it into something impossible to ignore.
Yet there’s warmth too. The Eyeballs aren’t just cold overseers. They have quirks, preferences, and moments of vulnerability. Treat them with patience, and you might just find they’re as trapped in this system as you are.
