Break free from a time loop in this P&C! - TheMidcoreGamer Plays Three Minutes to Eight - Part 1
0This point-and-click adventure has an interesting sci-fi-themed premise - time loop, a unique roguelite-like gameplay, a Monkey Island vibe (mostly through its humour and dialogues), and plenty of interesting characters. Plus, the item highlight system (where it highlights interactive items within the environment) is super useful.
A quick note on how the "roguelite" part works - Every run lasts only 24 minutes and regardless of what you're doing, the protagonist will die, in a variety of ways, at three minutes to eight, hence the title's namesake. After dying, you'll get to restart the 24-minute loop again, sometimes with some slight changes to the game world. Note that time will only pass by 1 minute if you move from an area or a room to another.
Due to this, the game isn't supposed to be completed in a single "playthrough" or "run". Instead, you're supposed to make a little more progress every run as you figure out how to complete the various objectives you'll uncover as you interact with the NPCs or the world, all in the name of advancing the plot. Thus, the game's very interesting roguelite-like element.
Unfortunately, my PC got abruptly shut down when my toddler once again kicked the loose power cable when I wasn't watching, and for some reason, my video editing software isn't working - insane latency - so I couldn't just combine the part 1 and 2 together into what is supposed to be a single part. Sorry about that!
