The Challenge rises on Early Access on Steam

If there's one incontrovertible rule of time travel, it's don't mess with history! In the newly-released "stealth adventure" called The Challenge, it will be your difficult task to ensure that nobody does that very thing.

In the early 22nd century, time travel is invented and opened to customers, requiring the need for a surveillance service known as the "Time Bureau" to regulate its use. As Maxim Gromov, an agent of the Bureau, your job is to "follow these tourists and prevent any interference with history as it is known." You must also "prevent people from smuggling artifacts from the past into the future, which could upset the economy." This isn't an easy assignment at the best of times, but as the game's title suggests, today is going to be a particuarly challenging one.


The Challenge is a free-roaming, first-person adventure featuring crisp 3D graphics, as seen in the game's screenshots and trailer. In an original sci-fi story, players will find themselves traveling to different eras on a variety of quests with a number of obstacles to overcome, including (but not limited to) "mazes full of dangers" that will require a degree of stealth to complete.

The game is available now exclusively as an alpha version work-in-progress through Steam Early Access. Indie Russian developer Atum Software expects the project to remain there for 6-12 months, with new eras added and any number of other modifications made during that time. For now, players have access to "the basic Bureau of Time station, which is called EON-1, and to the first era – Stone Age. The second era – Ancient Egypt, is at the stage of development, but also available to play."
