Minute

About

Minute is a 3D action platformer where you control a tiny wind-up toy navigating the cluttered workshop of a reclusive Victorian inventor. Your movements depend on a winding key that powers your jumps and attacks, forcing you to manage energy carefully as you cross mechanical hazards and battle clockwork foes. Each room feels like a puzzle, balancing exploration with combat as you unlock new areas and piece together the story behind the workshop’s eerie vibe. The game’s charm lies in its detailed steampunk setting and the tension of limited stamina. Players will appreciate how the winding mechanic ties directly to gameplay, making every leap and strike feel meaningful. While short in length, the atmospheric world and cryptic narrative about the Tinkerer’s past leave a strong impression. Released in late 2023 by DigiPen Institute of Technology, it’s a polished student project that hints at bigger things from its creators.
