Twelve Minutes has been compared to
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask,
which also follows a similar concept of repeating the same events with only the main characters retaining their memories. However, the former features more
mature themes
that come in the form of strong language and graphic violence.
Twelve minutes to figure out the truth
You will be playing an unnamed male character who is trying to break free from a traumatizing time loop that runs its course over
12 agonizing minutes
. It is up to you to explore the various areas of your home in order to
find hints
and uncover the truth. The story is presented from an
aerial perspective
, which allows you to see all corners of a room at a glance.
Apart from Twelve Minutes’ gripping storyline, players can also look forward to
stunning visuals
, which make use of lifelike physics and a realistic setting that makes you feel like you’re right in the middle of the story. It branches out into a
number of possible endings
that you can replay as many times as you’d like. Just note that there is
no option to skip dialogue
that you’ve already read.
In addition to all of this, the game is voiced by a star-studded cast of characters, including award-winning actors James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe. With their contribution to the voice lines, the game earns a
cinematic appeal
that different audiences can enjoy. However, players should also note that all of these great features will require a
larger amount of storage space
in order to download the game.
A stunningly unique experience
With an incredibly thick plot paired with a realistic setting, Twelve Minutes takes players on an emotional ride as they continue to progress further in the game.
