What is 20 Minutes Till Dawn?

A single-player, top-down action roguelite set during a night overrun by monsters. You aim and fire manually through 20-minute survival runs, collecting experience to choose upgrades, summons, and abilities while trying to last until dawn. Unlockable characters, weapons, and persistent runes open more build combinations between runs.

For you if...

  • +you like short survival runs with active aiming
  • +you enjoy character, weapon, rune, and upgrade combinations
  • +you prefer pixel-art horror and escalating monster hordes

Not for you if...

  • −you want multiplayer or cooperative survival modes
  • −you need many stages, bosses, and enemy types
  • −you prefer long campaigns over short, repeatable runs

What players say

90% of 29,853 reviews are positive · 48% of 64 in the last 30 days

Players praise the active aiming, distinct character-and-weapon builds, and minimalist pixel art. The most common complaint is that the PC version no longer receives the updates given to the mobile version; players also find its limited stages and enemy variety repetitive.
