## What is 5?

The world ends in 5 minutes.

Explore the world, battle monsters, collect powerful equipment, and challenge the Demon Lord in a fast-paced roguelite RPG where every run makes you stronger.

You may start each adventure at Level 1, but the gear you collect and the permanent upgrades you unlock carry over to your next run.

Go a little farther.
Defeat a stronger enemy.
Find better equipment.
Then try again.

How far can you get in just 5 minutes?

■ EVERY SECOND COUNTS

Travel through grasslands, forests, deserts, snowy mountains, volcanoes, and more as you race against the clock.

Will you stay nearby and level up?
Search for treasure chests?
Hunt stronger monsters?
Or head straight for the Demon Lord's Castle?

Watch the remaining time, judge your strength, and choose your route.

■ AUTO ATTACKS, MANUAL SKILLS

Move your hero using the on-screen joystick.

Normal attacks happen automatically, letting you focus on movement and skill timing.

Equip up to three skills and activate them with a tap. Combine powerful attacks, area damage, healing, and other abilities to survive difficult battles and defeat powerful bosses.

■ GET STRONGER AFTER EVERY RUN

Defeat monsters to earn Hero Points.

Use them to permanently improve your stats or purchase new weapons, armor, and skills.

Your level resets when a new adventure begins, but your equipment and permanent upgrades remain.

An enemy that felt impossible before may become your next victory.

■ FIND LOOT AND UPGRADE YOUR GEAR

Treasure chests are scattered throughout the world.

Discover weapons, armor, and other equipment as you explore.

Find another copy of the same weapon or armor to make it even stronger and steadily build a more powerful hero.

■ BOSSES, MONSTERS, AND A BESTIARY TO COMPLETE

Challenge powerful bosses across the world and discover new monsters as you explore.

Defeated enemies are added to your Monster Bestiary, giving you another reason to search every region and take on new challenges.

Defeat the Demon Lord and an even harder new cycle awaits.

■ QUICK RUNS, LONG-TERM PROGRESSION

Each adventure lasts only 5 minutes, but you do not need to rush through menus.

The timer pauses while viewing your Bag or World Map, so you can take your time choosing equipment, reviewing your build, and planning where to go next.
