10 Minutes Till Dawn
10 Minutes Till Dawn is a fast-paced rogue-lite survival shooter where you must hold out against relentless waves of Lovecraftian monsters until sunrise. Trapped in a dark, oppressive arena, you maneuver through expanding hordes while managing distance, aiming accurately, and timing your reloads to stay alive.
Every run caps at ten minutes, offering a condensed and satisfying progression loop. Defeated creatures drop glowing experience gems that grant mid-run level-ups. With each level, you choose from random perk cards that enhance bullet speed, apply elemental effects like freeze or burn, summon supportive minions, or boost your mobility, allowing you to craft powerful builds on the fly.
Controls
- WASD / Arrow Keys: Move your character across the arena.
- Mouse Cursor: Aim your weapon in 360 degrees.
- Left Mouse Button: Fire weapon.
- R Key: Reload weapon clip manually.
Combat Tips & Upgrade Synergies
- Kite the Swarm: Move in wide, continuous loops around the edges of the horde. Pushing directly through dense groups will quickly get your character cornered.
- Invest in Early Mobility: Movement speed upgrades are essential for dodging fast-moving bosses and ranged attacks during the final minutes of a run.
- Commit to Synergistic Builds: Focus your upgrades around a core strength, such as combining high fire-rate weapons with frost effects to slow enemies down or stacking bullet damage with burn damage over time.
- Manage Reload Windows: Avoid running out of ammunition while surrounded. Initiate reloads while backing into open space or select perks that deal passive damage during reload downtime.
Designed for fast, high-intensity sessions, 10 Minutes Till Dawn provides an engaging challenge for fans of action rogue-lites and horde survival games.
