Press release:
[Wiesbaden, Germany – September 20th, 2023].
The Wiesbaden-based (Germany) indie games publisher and developer Assemble Entertainment and Tallinn-based (Estonia) indie games developer Chaosmonger Studio, today announced with great thrill and delight that their cryptic side-scrolling adventure “Three Minutes To Eight”, is coming to PC (via Steam and GOG) on October 23rd, 2023.

This mysterious, atmospheric game in which players are destined to meet their untimely demise at precisely 7:57 PM, has players trying to uncover a way to cheat death and unravel hidden mysteries in the story.

The team has released its first Featurette to accompany this exciting announcement, introducing developer Nicola Piovesan as he gives players an in-depth look into the game’s creation and how he came up with the idea for Three Minutes to Eight. Check it out:

Three Minutes to Eight is set in the near future, where players must uncover secret paths, find ways to cheat death, and unlock multiple endings to a unique mystery.

Each run includes randomized elements and differing events that will urge players to revisit the game multiple times. Three Minutes to Eight is meant to mimic the borderline state of mind that teeters on the edge of consciousness, where everything is possible, yet remains elusive.

Features:

Stunning Pixel Art: Explore unique locations with a dark, neon style in awesome pixel art.
Multiple Endings: Finish multiple runs each with unique and randomized elements and events in order to unlock more endings.
Unravel the Mystery: Why are you destined to die at 7:57PM? It’s up to you to discover and find a way to stop it.
