Twelve Minutes

Twelve Minutes is a star-studded, time-loop mystery that's let down by  frustrating repetition | British GQ

This game feels like a Netflix Original Movie. It has a great cast, really unique concept, a very interesting beginning and middle, and then unravels very quickly into an extremely pointless and confusing ending and you regret every watching it in the first place.

You play as The Husband coming home to your wife telling you the great news that you’re going to be a father. The moment is then cut short by a police officer at the door who accuses your wife of murdering her father, zip ties her hands behind her back and then brutally kills you.

Then, it cuts back twelve minutes when you entered the apartment originally. Your wife in the same place she was twelve minutes ago and the police officer making his way to your apartment. What you have to do now is go on an annoying series of mini quests to unravel what and why this is happening. The big issue is that even if you know EXACTLY what to do, you still have to die or repeat the game over and over to do it. Most of the time, you are given a series of dialogue options and actions. Preforming the wrong one will end up shooting you to the beginning or you’ll have to simply kill yourself to trigger that. There really is no getting better at the game. even to get the simplest ending, you would have to die 4 or 5 times just to get the series of events down right.

You have to talk to your wife a few times to know what you have to say. You have to kill the police officer a few times to grab his phone to talk to his daughter to get her to convince him to listen to you.  There is no grind to this game. it’s just tedious and annoying. And worst of all, when you spent all that time dying and plotting your choices and listening to all the dialogue options and dying and dying and dying, the ending is that you’re fucking you sister?

That’s the ending. Your wife is secretly your sister and you killed your father because you love her and some other dumb stuff. And that’s it. What an absolute disaster of an ending. What an incredible waste of time for a game that started off so strong. Did you really need 3 Hollywood stars for this game? Awful game! Don’t download it!
