Twelve Minutes

It was an amazing game, but it wasn't for me. If you like horror games (ik this game isn't a horror game but y'know) then i think you would like this game. But I didn't like it.

"12 minutes", the new point and click video game from Annapurna interactive, creators of "What remains of Edith Finch", is as smart and addicting as it is tedious and some what lackluster. The premise, much like a movie, is a "Ground hogs day" like rinse and repeat of 12 minutes in the main characters life. James McAvoy, voices the main character, only known as "husband", as he comes home to the worst night of his life. His wife, voiced by Daisy Ridley, has been keeping secrets from him and a would be cop, voiced by Willem Dafoe, is about to bring all that to light. That is if you can figure out the mystery of the incidents playing out in one of the countless minutes you will replay over and over again. Your only hope is that in each loop you will learn just a tad more information to unlock a new dialogue tree or figure out how to use something in the small apartment that haplens to be the only location in the game. After many tries and many fails you will find yourself doing hilarously terrible things just to see what will happen. This tedium can make you lose interest fast, but if you are like me, you will be to fascinated in the mystery before you to give up. What you will find as you truck forward is a plethora of endings, scenarios and smart use of game norms to mess with your experience. As much as I loved all of these things, I was ultimately confused and let down by what seems to be the only twist. It's dark in a strange way and you will be left feeling that it can't be the real truth. This is made worse by some rather annoying glitches and lack of smarter controls. There is however, some rather clever game play, acting and visuals to make this one more special than your average game. Add to that some truly clever uses of Xbox achievements and a dense amount of story and this one really shines over its flaws .

If you like games where to repeat things until you figure out the "tricks" to succeed, then you'll like this game. I personally love the games I've played like this, and 12 Minutes was perfect to me.

A Groundhog Day type game where you relive the same 12 minutes over and over, each time discovering something new about your wife, your surroundings, and yourself. It's a mind**** for sure! I definitely loved the ending, and the reveal was about as messed up as a game can get. Definitely a must for people who like mysteries and don't mind scroll and click games.

I seriously fell in love with this game. Even when I finished the game, I couldn't get over it for a long time. The voice cast is excellent, the story is gripping and wonderfully done. In short, the game is very professional. The game never lags. The more you play, the more you play, it would be perfect if we finally told the woman everything and got together again. The game only gives us one ending, so I don't think the game has a happy ending. I wish we could be together again with our wife, tell the truth, be happy and the game would be over. I don't remember playing a game that affected me this much in my life. The drawings, the house we live in, etc., all obviously took a lot of effort. It's obvious that a lot of effort has been put into the game. But I wish there was a movie of this game. If it were, it would be one of my favorite movies. I hope they make a movie of it too. The game is a game that distorts perceptions, and I liked this feature the most. It's so professional that we go back to the past and change everything. But as I said, it had an unhappy ending; frankly, it was as if we had never been together with our wife. Upset :(
