As they struggle to survive against overwhelming odds, they will fight to find purpose in this brutal, unforgiving world.

The second free game this week is Minit, a 2D indie puzzle game where the player’s life only lasts for a minute and will have to memorize certain patterns to progress within the time limit. The game was released on April 3 2018 and was previously free on Epic Games Store in 2019.

Minit’s official store description: 

Minit is a peculiar little adventure played sixty seconds at a time. Journey outside the comfort of your home to help unusual folk, uncover countless secrets, and overcome dangerous foes, all in hopes of lifting a rather unfortunate curse that ends each day after just one minute. Minit is a collaboration between Kitty Calis, Jan Willem Nijman, Jukio Kallio & Dominik Johann.
