Minit is the perfect little game—demanding a player’s fullest attention for a short amount of time. The game’s gameplay hook is simple—you have one minute to solve a puzzle, find a new safehouse, or acquire a necessary item. At the end of your minute, you begin again from the last safehouse you stepped in, slowly chipping away at the larger narrative of the game.
My first playthrough of the game clocked in at 54 minutes, with only 8 of 18 items collected—a quick glance at an online guide revealed far greater depth and customizability that guarentees I will return to the game to discover all it has to offer.
Minit’s concept is not new, but it is brilliantly executed with the shortest clock in the genre—everything is well-designed to hook the player into “just one more life.” Minit’s worth is not in its technical prowess, but it goes far beyond expectations for a quaint little game.
