    Somewhere in New Mexico, an explosion shatters the night. Plucky teenager Betty Anderson wakes with a jolt. Where is she? Who is she?

    Whatever blew up in the desert seems to have wiped her memory clean, but as she'll soon learn, Betty has a lot more to worry about than amnesia. Like, say, a town full of people who aren't what they seem, a corrupt mayor, a secret military base, the mafia, and a potbelly pig with a vendetta. Then there's this little problem of a doomsday plot counting down to the extinction of the human race and time's running out.

    Join Betty to crack the conspiracy that starts with a bang and ends at 3 Minutes to Midnight -- if we're lucky.

    3 Minutes To Midnight is one of the best and most ambitious point-and-click adventure games of the modern era of the genre. Its hilarious plot, filled with the best twisted humor, is complemented by the possibility of solving its wonderful puzzles in different ways, which adds a replayability that is unusual in the genre. Spectacular in the technical section, and with a duration of more than 20 hours, it is an essential title for lovers of the genre, one of the best that it has produced in recent years.

    We feel that 3 Minutes To Midnight has been a work conceived by true lovers of graphic adventures, who have known how to focus their efforts on what really matters in the genre. Crazy and acid humor, countless perfectly written dialogues, an exemplary cast of characters full of charisma, as well as a staging that captivates thanks to impeccable artistic direction. All this gives shape to a work that from this moment on is part of the best modern graphic adventures of recent years.

    Full to bursting with cover-ups, conspiracies, pranks, and wisecracks, 3 Minutes to Midnight is set in a gorgeous cartoon world packed with childishly entertaining puzzles. Like its heroine, it’s a little unfocused and easily distracted at times, but it’s still a rocking good time.

    Huge in length, thoughtful and with a decent story, but with some issues in the writing and the characters that don't allow it to reach the peaks of the genre.

    3 Minutes to Midnight is a crazy, sometimes absurd adventure game with a very high production quality. It would have been more enjoyable if it hadn't drowned the whole game with dialogues and kept the pace though.

    3 Minutes to Midnight’s high production values and vibrant, idiosyncratic world recall the best of classic adventures, but it often goes overboard and requires a steep level of commitment from players to get the most from it, dampening the fun factor.

    3 Minutes to Midnight - A Comedy Graphic Adventure is a colorful, non-linear adventure that can get very annoying in places due to the stretched dialogues.
