3 Minutes is a first-person horror game with an escape room style, where you only have 180 seconds to find a way out. At first glance, it looks like a small game, but the deeper you go, the more surprising details you will discover hidden in each room.

3-Minute Game Story

You wake up in a dark room; the wall is stained with scribbled words and old furniture, and occasionally there is an image of the destroyed Earth. The atmosphere evokes disaster, the apocalypse, and vague fears associated with historical milestones such as the years 2000 or 2012, along with rumors about the Mayan calendar. All of these elements makes the short experience tense and haunting.

Gameplay & Mechanics

  • Countdown: As soon as you start, the 3-minute timer starts, forcing you to act quickly.
  • Puzzles abound: From mysterious numbers on the wall to strange symbols to the hex color code 00FF (a metaphor for blue in the RGB palette), every detail can become a key to open a new door.
  • Environmental interactions: You will rotate paintings, find fallen keys, or even have to prevent the room from flooding by closing the valve in time.
  • Sound and jumpscare: Unexpected noises, darkening spaces, and quick scares increase the pressure.

Duration & experience in 3 Minutes

The game is short, only about 5-10 minutes, but it is that brevity that makes it unique. Every passing second is precious, forcing you to both deduce and risk trial and error. Players can easily feel master class when finding the solution or helpless when the time runs out and the door is still locked.

3 Minutes is not a long game, but it is proof that a small experience can make you tense and excited. With its fast pace, dark atmosphere, and surprising puzzles, this is an interesting choice for those who want to experience the feeling of being trapped in the pressure of time and fear. There are many attractive and scary games waiting for you to discover, one of which is Dr. Psycho: Hospital Escape 2.
