60 Seconds!

60 Seconds! gives the main character exactly a minute to collect his things before everything around him changes. Ted runs around the house, grabbing supplies, water, family members and dragging it all to the bomb shelter. What you manage to do will become the basis for survival. Then the game begins in standby mode: in the dungeon you need to distribute supplies among family members, send someone on a foray and make sure that no one goes crazy from boredom and hunger. Decisions are made quickly, but the consequences come later: there was not enough water - you lost a day, you opened the door to the wrong guest - you lost everything. The tone is darkly funny, with a nod to American posters from the fifties. Between tasks, they show scenes where the characters communicate and argue about how to live next. This gives a human side to what is happening, despite the absurdity of the situation. It is also worth noting that the game has several scenarios for development after surviving in a shelter: you can save everyone, you can lose someone close to you, or you can die yourself. Guests appear regularly, and not all of them are friendly - it’s easy to accept a stranger, but it’s more difficult to kick them out. There is also a small radio receiver, from which snippets of news come about what is happening above. It is also worth noting that the outcome depends on little things: a first aid kit found in time or an order given to someone in the family changes the rest of life in the shelter. The project is small and inexpensive, but the idea makes all the difference: one minute at the beginning turns into a long story about how small decisions determine who lives to see the next day.
