The game was originally supposed to be a test to see if Unity was the right game engine to use. It ended up being released to the world because of how well the test went.
A revamped version of 60 Seconds! titled 60 Seconds! Reatomized was released on July 25, 2019.[8]
Plot
60 Seconds! takes place in the
First, the player has the titular 60 seconds to acquire whatever supplies, family members, and diversional items (e.g. a checkers set), and bring them to an underground shelter beneath their house, including the family member they initially control, before a nuclear bomb is dropped on the neighborhood and detonates. Failure to do so affects the flow of the gameplay.
Each day, the player must make decisions for the family based on supplies available, limited information, or ability of family members. Some of these entail risks, and may result in poor health or even death of one or all of the family members.
For consumable supplies, the player must ration their usage, such as food and water among the family members, based on how much they initially acquired, their overall health, and their need for it. The player must also be cautious about the mental state of the family members, as the isolation of the shelter affects the gameplay as well. (e.g. Ted will turn one of his socks into a puppet and begin talking to it as if it was a person.)
At times, a character may be required to leave the shelter to scavenge for supplies and food. Again, this entails risk, as a family member may fall ill from the radiation outside, or may not come back because of an event resulting in the character's death.
Other times, a knock may be heard at the hatch of the underground shelter, and the player must make a decision on whether to ignore it, or open the hatch to allow whoever or whatever is there to interact with the characters. Depending on the event, this may result in a possible trade between the McDoodles and other affected families, or a shelter raid where supplies are stolen, or a mutant entering the shelter and mutating the family, ending the game.
If the player makes a decision at the right time, then there is the possibility of the U.S. Army coming to rescue the family, successfully ending the game.
