In the first-person horror game 3 Minutes, you have 180 seconds to escape. The game seems easy, yet each chamber holds surprises.
You enter a dark room. Scribbled words cover the walls. Old, worn-out furniture fills the space. Pictures of a destroyed Earth are scattered around. Many fear disasters and the end of the planet. Their ideas concerning 2000, 2012. The Mayan calendar is ambiguous. The mood is unsettling.
Despite its briefness (5-10 minutes), 3 Minutes is unique. You must deduce and risk trial and error since every second counts. Players can feel superior when they solve the puzzle or powerless when time runs out and the door is locked.
