TWELVE MINUTES

Developer Luis Antonio

Publisher Annapurna Interactive

Format PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series

Origin US Release 2021

Luis Antonio’s time-loop thriller would be tense enough in ordinary circumstances. But playing a time-limited demo of a game in which your protagonist already knows they’re against the clock adds an extra layer of pressure. Conscious of Antonio watching on invisibly, we become acutely aware of every single action we’re taking. Yet that’s as it should be in a game where every move counts. Because from the moment James McAvoy’s everyman arrives home to a surprise meal from his wife (Daisy Ridley), you’ve got about five minutes of in-game time to prepare for the event that threatens to change their lives forever.
