About 3 Minutes to Midnight
3 Minutes to Midnight is a brand-new point-and-click adventure game created by Scarecrow Studio.

The inhabitants of a small New Mexico town are sleeping peacefully when a sudden and inexplicable explosion shatters the quiet night. The entire town awakens to discover their memories have been completely erased.

It’s up to troublemaker Betty Anderson, a sassy high school student, to solve the mystery surrounding everyone’s lost memories and save the town, while also possibly preventing a secret doomsday plot. How hard could that possibly be, right?

The game features a colorful cast of over 50 characters, each with their own intriguing pasts and secret agendas to unravel.

The game offers several exciting features, including, but not limited to, the following:
