Overview
Todd is Late is a single-player indie hidden object game that turns a mundane morning routine into a high-stakes race. Developed and published by Humanity1Studios, the game launched on Steam on October 19, 2026.
The premise is simple: Todd has a big presentation at work, but he overslept and didn't prepare anything. You have exactly five minutes to help him find everything he needs and get out the door.
Highlights
- Real-time pressure: The clock never stops. From the moment the day starts, every second counts—whether you're searching through books, dashing between rooms, or even pausing to adjust settings.
- Search-driven gameplay: Todd's apartment is large and cluttered, making it genuinely tricky to distinguish essential items from distractions. Careful observation is key.
- Multiple endings and choices: The game features branching paths and logic-based puzzles, with your decisions affecting the outcome. Steam user tags also highlight FMV elements and a choose-your-own-adventure structure, adding narrative depth to the search.
Who It's For
If you enjoy hidden object games with a sense of urgency, or if you like visual novels and FMV titles where choices matter, Todd is Late offers a compact but intense experience. It's also a great pick for players who appreciate adjustable difficulty and custom volume controls, making it accessible for different play styles.
