10 Minutes Till Dawn

10 Minutes Till Dawn is a solo survival shooter by flanne. Choose a character and weapon, then fight through an increasingly crowded monster horde until the ten-minute timer ends. Its pixel-art horror setting keeps the focus on movement, shooting and building a useful combination of upgrades.

Defeated monsters leave experience pickups. Collect them to earn upgrade choices and strengthen your build. Gun damage, extra projectiles, elemental effects and summons offer different ways to deal with crowds.

Read upgrade prerequisites instead of choosing every bonus independently. The interface shows unlock paths, and the pause menu lets you review the upgrades you already have. Watch the ammunition indicator near the cursor: reload gaps matter when enemies are closing in.

• W A S D: move
• LRMove Mouse: aim
• LRLeft Click: hold to shoot

Controller support is available; check the in-game prompts for its bindings.

• Plan the next upgrade around your current build. Complement the weapon or effect you already use instead of spreading every choice across unrelated bonuses.
• Collect experience without closing your escape route. A pickup is not worth moving into a pocket surrounded by monsters.
• Prepare for the final minutes. Later waves put more pressure on crowd clearing and movement; keep room to reposition while your weapon reloads.
