Twelve Minutes

good potential, bad implementation. pushing only one ending when you have everything to have many is dumbfounding. also, knowing an answer but not knowing how exactly you should use it ending up cycling through options without a proper time skip is a common problem

Very cool at first but ruined by super restrictive and repetitive gameplay and one of the dumbest twists I've ever seen

Twelve Minutes is a brilliantly crafted narrative-driven thriller that uniquely blends mystery, suspense, and time-loop mechanics into an intimate and intense gaming experience. Developed by Luis Antonio, this game sets itself apart through its minimalist design, strong storytelling, and an innovative approach to player agency, all of which come together to create a deeply engaging and emotionally resonant journey. From the moment you step into the confined apartment where the story unfolds, you’re drawn into a carefully constructed loop of tension and discovery that challenges your perception of cause and effect. The gameplay revolves around a single, repeating 12-minute cycle in which the player controls a man caught in a seemingly mundane evening that quickly spirals into a nightmarish scenario. The core mechanic is the time loop itself—each reset allows you to experiment with different choices, uncover new information, and alter the outcome. This structure transforms what coul...

I want to make a different kind of review. This isn't so much about the game mechanics but about the idea, by comparison to other 'time-loop' portrayals. So there is a conversation discourse that points out the 'repetitive' nature of the game. But that is precisely the point. If you have ever watched any movie/series that implements time loops, like 'Groundhog Day', 'Edge of Tomorrow', 'Steins;Gate', 'Happy Death Day', 'Boss Level', etc - you'll recognise that every single one of them has a narration that requires a specific set of events for the 'desired' outcome (from the protagonists point of view). If you understand Chaos Theory (aka the butterfly effect), it helps to frame these time-loop stories. Every tiny action can have gradually reverberating consequences. That however doesn't mean criticism isn't warranted. Games; like video, books, sculptures and portraits are a medium through which to convey an idea - it is a 2 way conversation that typically takes place in our mind ...

Holy mother of all plot twists!!! Someone please make a movie out of this?! I am absolutely mind blown by this game. I went in thinking it was just going to be a small, clever indie experiment, but what I got was one of the most intense, layered, and downright genius experiences I’ve ever had in gaming. The story is insane—like, it grabs you by the throat and never lets go. Every loop, every tiny interaction, every small shift in dialogue… it all adds up to this mind-bending puzzle box that completely wrecks your brain in the best way possible. The twists are brutal. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, the game pulls the rug out from under you and flips everything upside down. It’s not just one “aha!” moment, it’s multiple—over and over. You’re constantly going, “Wait, WHAT?!” and then scrambling back into the loop to test something new. And the fact that it rewards you for experimenting, for pushing the boundaries of what you can say or do, makes the w...

good game, alright graphics, but not such good replayability (once you've completed most of it). sorta just the same "get an object, do this, do that, blah blah blah". overall, games good, really cool idea but lacks replayability

great game but i think the price is pretty steep considering I beat the game in like 2 hours. Would wait for a sale or something before buying at the 25 dollar mark.

Quite fun, 10/10 I had wanted to play this game for a long time, because I found the time loop gimmick to be intriguing. I was really curious how much freedom I would have as the player to influence the setting, and honestly a bit concerned about how I would make the game proceed if I finished trying everything I could think of and got stuck. And I'm here to tell you, my curiosities were satisfied and my concerns unwarranted. The time loop gimmick was what drew me to the game in the first place, and is my favorite feature by far. The small apartment setting is rich in details, from what you can look at, interact with, and even what you hear. The character you play as remembers previous iterations of the scene, so when you uncover new information in one iteration, that sometimes leads to new actions you can take or dialogue options in future iterations, which helps a lot with guiding you to what you should be doing next, without taking away your freedom as the player to explore all o...

Excellent point and click game!

Plot twist go crazy
