Welcome to the Weekly Rewind for October 12, 2019. Between the recent Activision, Blizzard Entertainment, fallout with the suspension of blitzchung and continued fallout from Friday’s latest statement, saying that it has been a busy week full of gaming news might just be major understatement.

3 Minutes to Midnight – Kickstarter
Scarecrow Studio has exceeded the half-way mark of their funding goal for 3 Minutes to Midnight. The game is a story about a small New Mexico town set in the late 1940s where a loud explosion wakes up the town’s residents. However there is one problem. No one in town has their memory.
It is up to a local high-school troublemaker named Betty Anderson the mayor Eliza Barret to figure out what is going on. 3 Minutes to Midnight takes players on a point-and-click graphic comedy full of story, laughs, and cleverly hidden pop culture references.
There are over 50 colorful characters, high resolution backgrounds, seamless music transitions, complex puzzles, and a minimum of 12 hours of gameplay. In addition there are a large number of locations for players to explore as they uncover the story with some featuring night and day variants.
3 Minutes to Midnight is available on Steam for players to wishlist with a planned release date in Spring 2020 with console version to follow at a later date. The Kickstarter campaign runs until November 8, 2019. At the time of this article’s publishing $29,785 USD has been raised of the €50,000 Euro or roughly $55,194 USD goal.
We Were Here Together – Out Now
The third installment in the We Were Here franchise is now available from Total Mayhem Games with We Were Here Together.
In the third installment the co-op action is closer than ever before. Players will not always be split up from their partner as they can explore together and swap roles in puzzles for a different perspective. However, players need to be careful as Castle Rock has some surprises in store. In addition players can collect an inventory of useful items which can be used later in improvisation to solve puzzles and progress towards the story’s finale.
For the first time players are also able to do puzzles outside from the deceptively cozy base camp and through the sub-zero valleys to the breath-taking frozen caves. Like previous franchise entries teamwork, observation, and smart communication is key to surviving the cold.
We Were Here Together is now available on Steam for $12.99 USD with the Xbox One release planned for early 2020. The latest information about We Were Here Together players can join the official Discord channel at discord.gg/wewerehereseries or follow @WeWereHereGame on Twitter.
