About 12 minutes to survive

12 minutes to survive puts you in the role of a powerful mage facing relentless waves of enemies across a timed, intense survival challenge. The goal is straightforward and unforgiving: hold out for 12 action-packed minutes against an ever-escalating onslaught. Several scenes show a central character dressed in a red pointed hat and a matching red robe. Small red mushrooms with white spots and yellow pointed grass tufts appear scattered across the green and brown textured ground in multiple views.
