Bit like Crimsonland, or a shooty Vampire Survivors?

To some people, I would describe20 Minutes Till Dawnas “likeVampire Survivorsbut you actually aim and attack.”

To others, I might say it’s “similar toCrimsonlandorNation Red.”

A free demo is out now, and I’m enjoying it.

Tendrils, pustules, eyeballs, you know the sort.

Grab your gun, pick your character, and go.

Grab enough gems and you level up, being offered the choice of one of five random upgrades.

Maybe you’ll buff your gun with damage, ricochets, and post-mortem scattershots.

Maybe you’ll build into elemental damage buffs and spray ice, fire, and lightning.

Maybe you’ll go tanky.

Maybe you’ll summon ethereal weapons and ghost friends to fight for you.

Upgrades come in clusters, with some tasty powerful boosts unlocked at the end of each wee tree.

Plus obviously I like seeing runs grow into daft particle-spewing murder machines.

I’m looking forward to the full version.

20 Minutes Till Dawn is comingto Steamwhen it’s ready.

Various demos have been out for a while, but it gota hefty updatea few days ago.
