The Dark Souls of garlic-likes. It's a bit more engaging than Vampire Survivors, but weirdly enough, I don't think that works in its favor. It's way harder because of the EXP pickup mechanics: Vampire Survivors forces you to run into enemies (and their drops) to kill them, while 20 Minutes Till Dawn forces you to evade away from enemies (and their drops) while trying to fend them off. Build variety is a bit limited too, despite ostensibly more variation in mechanics.

All in all, an awesome entry into this fledgling new genre, but I can't see myself coming back to this as often until it gets a bit more development time.

* Played well on Ubuntu 20.04 via Proton 7.0-3
