Twelve Minutes is a highly-anticipated, unique narrative adventure game. You play as the male protagonist who lives with his wife and control the cursor with the analogue stick to interact with the environment or other characters. Every bit of dialogue is voiced by stars like Daisy Ridley, James McAvoy and Willem Dafoe and you have a limited window of time to figure out how to get out of the time loop.


What we like:
  • Unique narrative adventure game
  • Fantastic voice acting
  • Graphically beautiful
  • Enjoyable point-and-click gameplay
  • Opportunity to complete multiple play-throughs for achievements
What could be improved:
  • Some graphical fuzziness when zooming in on objects
  • Tough final act that may leave players feeling angry
