I survived 20 Minutes in all 3 maps. I must say, this game is really addictive! The initial idea of the game is really simple yet fun.

Gameplay
The gameplay is just a straight up Manic shooter with a build system where you select different characters with different passive abilities and select different weapons with different stats and not just that, you will also level up your runes and even build your own runes set. You will survive 20 Minutes depending on the build that you create and what skills you will take whenever you level up, and how you play the game. The gun play and the leveling system is really good and the more I play the more addictive it gets, I also like the boss battles, fighting them along with the hordes of lovecraftian monsters are really difficult but if you play your cards right, it will go well. An enjoyable and addictive gameplay.

Art and Story
The art style is aesthetically pleasing especially the character designs. What I really don't like is the colors but its the atmosphere of the game so I guess the art direction for the color is bland, yet the style and the pixel art is quite good nonetheless. Moreover, there is no actual story for the game, I guess there are bits of lore within the characters designs or even the weapon but a full blown story is nowhere to be found but its fine, since the art is really good, the art and the character designs make up for it and they can tell the lore with just their designs.

Overall
You just have to survive 20 minutes from lovecraft monsters. This game is really quite enjoyable and addictive, I had fun whenever I reach level 30 and the hordes of lovecraftian monsters are just swarming all over you and yet your character just kills them all. 20 Minutes Till Dawn is a enjoyable indie game.
