![]() ![]() The game is undeniably exciting, but a lot of the fun can be drained away due to the tiresome nature of the loop and the trial-and-error nature of the gameplay. Updated Februby Ritwik Mitra: Twelve Minutes is easily one of the most unique adventure games around, with players stuck in a time loop as they try to thwart an attacker and figure out how to stop the loop in the first place. So, to help new players who need a bit of guidance, here are a few spoiler-free tips. Trying to achieve progress can often feel like an uphill battle. That's not to say that Twelve Minutes is easy, however. Thankfully, the game doesn't fall into the trap of many classic adventure games: having numerous moon logic puzzles that feel almost impossible to beat without a guide. Twelve Minutesstands out with its time loop mechanics, where players are stuck in a perpetual loop with their wife and a cop who is coming to kill them. RELATED: Mistakes Everyone Makes While Playing Microsoft Flight Simulator ![]() Twelve Minutes, however, is a 2021 adventure game that has no problem feeling fresh and innovative. ![]() Games like The Secret of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, and Day of the Tentacle captured the imagination of players throughout the decade, but the genre had a sharp fall out of relevancy in the 2000s, largely due to its inability to innovate and keep up with ever-changing trends. This was one of my favourite games in a long time and I can't wait for Annapurna Interactive to try something similar in a new release.Graphic adventures have struggled to attract mainstream attention since the 90s. I had an absolute blast searching for new ways to gather more information and get closer to the end and thought it was a very clever way for a point and click puzzle/adventure game if you would even call it that. It wasn't until I was attempting achievements that it started to feel a bit grindy. I can see how some people may be turned off by the repetitiveness of running through the same scene and dialogue over and over again, but for me this was the interesting part. I thought the story was excellent and was not disappointed. Whilst it does sound extremely monotonous, each play through gives you more information and answers in order to use that newly acquired information to go forward the loop after and it continues until you are able to solve the mystery and get one or several of the many endings. Each time someone dies or the current story is played out the story is rewound back to the start of the 12 minutes and the loop starts again. The game revolves around your tiny apartment with your wife and is played out in real time with a maximum of 12 minutes through any given time loop. ![]() No expense spared in the casting department which helps with the immersion. The voice cast were great and this is no surprise considering the three main actors were James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley and Willem DaFoe. It is nothing special though and no use of ray tracing or any particularly breathtaking visuals. The graphics are quite nice for the style and suits the story and gameplay. The controls and gameplay are a very straight forward click and drag system which is very intuitive. The tutorial and game mechanics are offered by navigating down the hallway to your apartment door and opening it. 12 minutes starts off with an interesting top-down view of an apartment foyer. ![]()
