Seconds to Midnight

Seconds to Midnight is a puzzle game created in 4 days for the 2026 GMTK Game Jam by OwOmay and Bucket O' Beef.

A Doomsday Clock has been created, impacting all clocks on the planet. If you allow the clock to reach zero, the consequences may be catastrophic. Find the good in the world, and attempt to save the world from the clock's mayhem. 

How to Play

Read the news article.

Decide if it's happy or sad. Good or bad. Positive or negative.

If it's positive, stamp it to feed it to the clock. Make sure you have ink on the stamp though.
If it's negative, toss it to the bin.
