If you’re having trouble finishing a playthrough of 20 Minutes Till Dawn, this guide will take you through the process of how to survive the night in 20 Minutes Till Dawn.
How to Win your First Night in 20 Minutes Till Dawn
When you begin the game, you will have the default character of Shana whose special ability is to reroll upgrades, and you will begin with the default weapon of the pistol, which doesn’t seem to be very powerful. While some skilled players might be able to beat the game against all odds, 20 Minutes Till Dawn is not a game that you can beat in the first playthrough.

After you complete your first game, you will see that you have received some in-game currency which are souls for every monster that you have killed, in addition to the levels you reach and the seconds that you survived in the game. These souls can be used to buy upgrades in the game, whether it be new characters, guns or runes.
When it comes to buying new characters and guns, you don’t have to unlock the previous ones to get the one that you want. Our recommendation is getting Abby, whose special skill is firing all her shots with one right-click, and the Dual SMGs for a weapon as they have two bullets fired with each click. This will take you a long way in the game.
However, the real game-changer is the Runes, which you can start buying once you have enough souls. You will need to unlock the previous Runes up to the rank specified before you can get more, and they can get expensive as you travel down the list. If you’re looking for ways to get more souls, check out our guide on How to Get More Cash in 20 Minutes Till Dawn.
Ultimately, you will need to play through the game multiple times, keep dying, and upgrade your runes until you can survive the first night.
