Twelve Minutes

Twelve Minutes is a real-time, top-down interactive thriller that places players in a tense and claustrophobic narrative loop. The game begins with what should be a quiet evening at home with your wife, but quickly spirals into a nightmare when a police detective bursts in, accuses her of murder, and brutally attacks you. After this harrowing event, you find yourself trapped in a repeating twelve-minute time loop, waking up at the exact moment you first entered your apartment. The core challenge lies in using the information gained from each cycle to uncover the truth, alter events, and ultimately break free from the endless repetition. Featuring a simple yet intuitive click-and-drag interface, Twelve Minutes creates an immersive experience where every choice and interaction matters. The story unfolds through exploration and experimentation, encouraging players to piece together fragmented clues in a confined setting. The atmosphere blends psychological thriller elements with a sense of mounting dread, drawing inspiration from films like The Shining and Rear Window. With a voice cast that includes James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe, the game offers a memorable and gripping narrative that constantly evolves based on player decisions, making each loop feel fresh and suspenseful.
