Description
5 Minutes Until Self-Destruction is an escape room-style puzzle game where you're trapped on a spaceship moments from destruction. Think fast - or get blown to pieces.
The ship is filled with interconnected puzzles and minigames that test your logic, observation, and quick thinking.
Features:
- The entire game unfolds over a strict 5-minute timer
- Solve interconnected environmental puzzles to unlock new areas and ultimately defuse the self-destruction mechanism
- From the very start, the final goal is in plain sight
- Fast loading and restart times
- Completion timer for speed-runners
Can you outsmart the countdown before time runs out?
DISCLAIMER
It’s a short game by design, and the time-to-complete varies depending on how quickly you can think and act. Finishing on your first try in under five minutes is possible, but very difficult.

User Reviews
In two puzzles you need to hear what the radio says. I dont like loud sounds, and so I play with low sound, and so I was hearing nothing until I read a walkthrough which told me that I am supposed to hear codes.
Very cool design. Puzzles are mostly memory based which I'm quite bad at but I managed. Took me a couple of runs to know where to go and when but I enjoyed it. I'm a big Sci-Fi fan.

A very short but worthwhile puzzle game.
Loved it! After playing Escape Simulator 2 so much it's nice to play a shorter escape room that has a lot more tension.
I do second what somebody else said about the hearing aspect, as i have awful hearing and could only just make out the numbers said, but i still managed.
Would love to see a second episode
Short but enjoyable stress-o-meter
