History VideoGame / TwentyMinutesTillDawn

* ActionBomb: One small enemy type explodes on death. If you get too close, they will start beeping, then blow themselves up on their own, but if you shoot them from a safe distance you can exploit them to damage multiple enemies at once.

* ShortRangeShotgun: The Shotgun fires four projectiles which do not go very far at all, barely more than your vision range. Bullet Speed upgrades can increase how far it goes, but it's still unlikely to reach full-screen like most other guns.

''20 Minutes Till Dawn'' is a survival roguelike developed by flanne. The goal of the game is straightforward -- survive twenty minutes. That's easier said than done, however, as you'll have to defend against an endless horde of increasingly threatening {{Eldritch Abomination}}s who are out for your blood. With only a gun, your wits and what powers you possess, can you make it to dawn?

The game is available in Early Access on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}. UsefulNotes/{{Android}} and UsefulNotes/{{iOS|Games}} versions are planned for the future.

As of June 8, 2023, it's finally left Early Access.

* ContractualBossImmunity: Bosses are affected less by some Ice Mage tree upgrades; they only stay frozen for 0.3 instead of 3 seconds, and Frostbite only removes 1% of their maximum HP instead of 15%.

* EvolvingWeapons: Starting in Version 1.0, all weapons get a choice of three evolutions when a player hits level 20 in a run.

* TheMarvelousDeer: Dasher's skill allows her to transform into a reindeer every 25 kills which makes her invincible. It keeps her from shooting, but she can plow into hordes of enemies to kill them and grab XP. Miniboss upgrades allow her to summon a second reindeer and/or shoot snowballs while in reindeer form.

* SinisterScythe: The Magic Scythe is part of the Magic Dagger tree and counts as a pet that attacks monsters.

* UnlockableDifficultyLevels: Surviving for 20 minutes unlocks the next Darkness level, up to 15, which modifies one aspect of the game (plus those of previous levels) to make things harder.

* FireIceLightning: The Fire/Ice/Electro Mage upgrades add elemental properties to your shots. Fire gives a chance to ignite enemies and cause DamageOverTime, ice gives a chance to freeze enemies in place, and lightning causes a lightning strike on the enemy closest to your cursor.
* GatheringSteam: The Dragon Egg upgrade tree also includes two upgrades that boost its damage and attack rate each minute. They're available to pick up even if the dragon hasn't hatched yet.

** The tomes dropped by Shub-Niggurath and Shoggoth grant huge benefits, but require a substantial exchange like -1 max HP or 50% reduced bullet damage.

* AnimalisticAbomination: Shub-Niggurath takes the form of a horned, quadrupedal abomination in this game, likely as a reference to one of their monikers "The Black Goat of the Woods".

* NoDamageRun: The "Nimble" achievement requires surviving a run without ever being hit once.

* YukiOnna: Yuki, as her name suggests, is based on the Yuki-onna. On top of the name, she floats around instead of walking, wears a kimono, and has [[AnIcePerson ice powers]]. The achievement for beating Darkness 15 with her is called "Yokai".

** Several upgrades decrease some stats in exchange for increasing others.

* ShortRangeShotgun: The Shotgun fires four projectiles which do not go very far at all.

* MagikarpPower: The Dragon Egg upgrade summons a dragon egg that initially just rotates around your character. However, if you survive three minutes, it hatches into a powerful dragon that breathes fire on enemies.
