Following a global event known as The Blackout, zones of paranormal activity called Breaches have started to appear increasingly around the globe, manifesting anomalies that bend the rules of reality and perception. At the core of these disturbances lies an unidentified Entity, a force woven into the fabric of the Breaches, shaping the chaos within.
Mission
The phenomena is spreading and the Organization is barely in control. You are a member of an official team of investigators, tasked with suppressing the emerging phenomena within the Breaches. Your mission is to analyze and contain anomalies to identify the Entity that sustains the Breach in order to contain the phenomenon.
Equipped with devices designed to detect and measure the paranormal, you must methodically explore the environment and analyze the anomalies to gather enough data. Success hinges on your ability to interpret findings, remain in contact with your team, and navigate areas where rules fluctuate, causing reality to behave improbably.
Each mission pushes you deeper into the unknown, where following protocol and maintaining coherence are your only tools to hold the line against the looming dark.
Gameplay
Setup: Begin by exploring the map and preparing your equipment for the challenges ahead. Plan your approach to gather data while managing the risks posed by the Entity.
Investigation: Use your equipment to detect signals and probe anomalies. Interacting with anomalies can yield critical data to identify the Entity, knowledge to further your understanding of the phenomenon, and history fragments that glean insights into the world and its secrets.
Banishment: Armed with the data gathered during your investigation, follow the correct protocol provided to suppress the Entity and seal the Breach. Success requires strategic use of knowledge, equipment, and teamwork.
Features
Signals, Anomalies, Entities
By navigating the interplay between Signals, Anomalies, and the Entity, you can delve into layered discovery and analysis. Detecting ambient distortions via Signals lead you to anomalies. Through these discoveries, the Entity’s nature is unveiled, enabling players to suppress it and seal the Breach.
Engaging Equipment
Use your organization-issued devices to detect, measure, and collapse anomalies. From decoding ambient signals to containing the paranormal phenomena, your equipment is your lifeline in navigating the unknown.
Communicate to Survive
Check in regularly with your team to compare findings and verify data in real-time. Communication is vital to overcoming the inherent uncertainty of a Breach. Detect conflicting evidence, but remain undetected by the roaming Entity.
Stabilize the Flickering Reality
Undertake each mission where reality bends under the weight of the incomprehensible. Every flicker of light, warped sound, and shifting anomaly hints at unspeakable horrors that may lurk around the next corner.
Minutes To Midnight is a story of persistence in a fragile reality warped by incomprehensible forces. Success depends on sorting conflicting data, managing escalating dangers, and monitoring the sanity of your team and your own. As midnight looms closer despite every case cleared, what will you choose—rest easy while others take on the task, or ride out and hold the line?
