Twelve Minutes is a top-down interactive Thriller Point-and-Click Game developed by Luis Antonio and published by Annapurna Interactive about a man stuck in a ten-minute time loop.A husband, the playable character, returns from work to his apartment to have a nice evening with his wife. They are interrupted by the arrival of a man claiming to be a police officer. He enters their home; disaster ensues, and once it gets bad enough, the husband suddenly finds himself at the entrance to the apartment just when he entered. It becomes clear that he is stuck in a "Groundhog Day" Loop; as soon as ten minutes pass, he is knocked out or dies, or he attempts to leave the apartment, he's immediately rewound back to the start of the loop, and no one but him seems wise to it. He must figure out the truths about his wife, who this police officer is and what he wants, and how he can escape this loop.It features the voices of James McAvoy as the husband, Daisy Ridley as the wife, and Willem Dafoe as the cop.Twelve Minutes was released on August 19th, 2021 for the PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

Dying Clue: When the Cop found the Father on New Year's Eve eight years ago, the last words coming out of his mouth were "Monster, monster..." which becomes a vital clue in the investigation.

Earn Your Bad Ending
 Twelve Minutes (Video Game) / int_132e865c
comment
Earn Your Bad Ending: In the "Confessed" ending, you confess to your wife and the cop (after having been talked down by Bumblebee) that you are the wife's half-sibling and the murderer of your guys' father. The both of them turn their anger towards you, though the cop merely says that he'll deal with you later rather than violently attack you and the wife tells you to Get Out!. This ending is only obtainable after the first confrontation with the father, by which you'd likely have either gone with the "Alone" ending (which prevents the tragedies in the first place) or the "Continue" ending. In the "Coward" ending, you drug your wife, shock the cop, and cuff him while he's unconscious, but you tell him you'll cooperate and give him the watch. Afterwards, he'll kill your wife and orders you to tell 911 that it was a suicide, though he also tells you that You Have Been Spared.

Multiple Endings
 Twelve Minutes (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: Seven in total, with four of them actually ending the time loop. Listen: At the start of a new save file, if the husband doesn't do anything upon entering the apartment, he and his wife will talk before she grabs the pocket watch and leaves the apartment with the husband, preventing the time loop altogether. Coward: The husband cooperates with the cop, giving him the pocket watch and helping him stage the wife's suicide. The cop leaves without harming the husband, but the time loop continues. Groundhog: The husband calls Bumblebee and convinces her to talk to the cop, stopping him from entering the apartment. The husband and wife have their romantic evening in peace, but the time loop continues. Confessed: After The Reveal, the husband confesses to the wife and the cop that he is her brother and her father's murderer. The cop is given the pocket watch and he threatens the husband before leaving without any further trouble. The wife demands the husband to get out of the apartment, continuing the time loop. Alone: The husband uses the pocket watch to go back in time and agree to break up with his future wife, ending the time loop. He lives in the same apartment in the future, but he is all alone with no furniture or electricity. Continue: Same as the previous ending, except the husband uses the passage in a book to ask the father to erase his memory of his sister and the events of the game so far, creating a Stable Time Loop on top of the 10-minute one the husband was trapped in and erasing your save file. Mindfulness: Same as the previous two endings, except the husband decides to stare at the clock after asking to have his memory erased. The father tells the husband to stop believing all of these stories and to let go of his obsession with his sister, suggesting that the events of the entire game (time loops and all) was just the husband imagining what may happen if he decides to break up with or continue dating his sister. Getting this ending removes the "continue" button from the main menu, implying that the husband has finally broken out of both time loops.

Chekhov's Gun: Virtually every detail of the apartment comes into play. Sleeping pills? To drug your wife's mug so that she won't interfere with anything. The fake candles? Light up the vents if you can't see what's inside them. The book that your wife is reading? If you read it while she's unconscious, you can recite a quote from it when you talk with her dad to unlock the secret ending. The baby clothes? Have a name on them, which is used to get the Cop to remember the identity of the Wife's old nanny.

Babies Make Everything Better
 Twelve Minutes (Video Game) / int_23f1384a
comment
Babies Make Everything Better: Averted. The Wife taking up so much of their mother's attention lead to her father having an affair with her nanny, which tears the whole family apart. The birth of the husband kills their mother, and ultimately sets in motion the chain of events which end in him killing his father and committing Surprise Incest. The Couple's baby only brings bad tidings, considering it's the product of half-sibling incest.

Failure Is the Only Option
 Twelve Minutes (Video Game) / int_260926c3
comment
Failure Is the Only Option: If you give the watch to the cop, he'll strangle you anyways for reasons unexplained, probably out of Revenge or to Leave No Witnesses. There is no ending where the husband is happy. He either breaks things off with the woman he loves and ends up alone, futilely erases his memory (which just leads to him falling in love with her again), stays in the loop and lives out the same 10 minutes over and over again, or snaps out of the dream/hypnosis and faces the real world, whatever that may hold. Even with the benefits of a time loop, it's impossible to beat the cop in a straight up fight using the knife. While you counter more of the cop's attacks with each attempt, the most you can do is stab him and stop him from pulling out his gun...before he overpowers you with five hard right hooks anyways. Any attempt to fight him after that will have him knock your ass out with a single punch, not even letting you swing the knife from the first attempt at fighting him, and the husband telling himself to try something else.

Easter Egg: In the "Alone" ending's empty apartment, you can find the pocket watch in its old hiding place in the bathroom's vent, but its minute hand is completely broken. If you manually move the minute hand to 2 minutes before 12 you can go back to the confrontation with the father and undo the ending.

Sickeningly Sweethearts: It takes some preparation on the player's part (getting the cop's daughter to convince him to abort the theft, mostly), but the husband and wife can have a perfectly happy evening together, cooing lovingly all the while as they eat some dessert, dance together, and curl up in bed to snuggle. Then again...

Reincarnation Romance: No matter how many times the main character has his memory wiped in the past, he will always find the wife and fall in love with her again, thus resetting the time loop. The only way to end the loop is for him to accept that things between them will never work out, or if one follows the interpretation that All Just a Dream, wakes up.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: In the "Alone" ending, the husband agrees with his wife's father to break up with her, thus avoiding the tragedies that would've followed if he stayed with her. In the epilogue, the now-single husband finds himself in his apartment again, now completely devoid of furniture and alone. In the "Groundhog" ending, the man chooses to stay inside the loop and plays out the same happy evening with his wife over and over again, having learned how to stop the cop from even coming. However, they have no future and the man always breaks down once the loop restarts. In the "Mindfulness" ending, it's implied that the whole game is a hypnosis session or a dream where a man imagines different scenarios of how being with his sister would turn out. This means that none of the tragedy of the game actually occurs, although the man still has to struggle with his feeling for his sister and the game ends before we actually know whether or not he gives her up in the real world.

Ambiguous Ending: While the "Mindfulness" ending implies that the entire game is inside the husband's mind, we don't know anything about the state of his life in the real world. How much of his illusion is based on reality and how much is just pure fabrication? Is the couple already together or is he just learning about the truth before they start dating? Is "father" a random therapist or is he really his father?

 Twelve Minutes (Video Game) / int_47e4f5f5
comment
Golden Ending: Downplayed. The "Mindfulness" ending is achieved by asking the father to erase the husband's memory and staring at the clock for the remaining two minutes. The father commends the husband for his active imagination but tells him that he can't obsess over his wife forever and to wake up. This brings you back to the main menu but with the "continue" button missing, implying that the husband has finally escaped the time loops. The "Listen" ending may be the closest the game has to this. The wife takes the husband out to talk about her past, thus preventing the cop from finding them and the husband from learning the painful truth. The loop does not start in this ending.

Affair? Blame the Bastard: After she realizes that there is a bastard in the picture, your wife's mother starts on this while the baby is still in utero, constantly calling it a "monster".

You Monster!: The wife's mother called her husband and Nanny's baby that. Later, your wife calls you this again when you reveal the murder and Sibling Incest to her. There is also a great blink-and-you-miss-it moment for this where you, instead of using one of the knives, shoot the cop in the leg while interrogating him; he will say "you're a monster..." over and over while he's slowly bleeding to death if you leave him talking for a while, foreshadowing what you did to your own father.

Averted for the location of the watch by the power of the player's Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory. You're supposed to hide in the closet before your wife leaves the bathroom, though you can access this by sticking your nose around the apartment without actually having to learn where it is.

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Played Straight in the "Alone" ending. The husband agrees to never be with his sister, thus preventing her from ever suffering the tragedy of their relationship. Subverted in the "Confessed" ending, as the husband only confesses the truth after getting her pregnant and living together for 8 years. She is understandably not any happier after this.

Rule of Symbolism
 Twelve Minutes (Video Game) / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: The clock/pocket watch. It's tracking the husband's progress in finding a way to break out of the time loop with a gold pattern on the bottom edge of the clock face that rotates to the top whenever he hits a milestone in his attempts. When the husband learns that he married his own sister, the clock spins counterclockwise until the day of the murder eight years ago is reached, rotating the first piece of the pattern into place. The husband is regaining his memories of what happened that fateful day. When the "Alone" ending is achieved, the clock breaks, the minute and hour hands lifelessly pointing at the six while the second hand spins counterclockwise, rotating the second piece. The husband may have broken the time loop but he is not truly free, as there is nothing to do in that empty apartment save for adjusting the pocket watch's hands so it can take him back in time once more. Finally, when the "Mindfulness" ending is achieved, the clock freezes in place, continuing to read twelve-o-clock as the final piece of the pattern lines up with the rest. The husband is finally free of the time loops. At the start of the game, the player can see two apartments next to the couple's one. The left apartment has a baby crying in it, symbolizing what would happen if the husband chooses to withhold the truth and stay with his wife. The right apartment is noted to be empty, symbolizing what would happen if the husband stop the relationship and end up alone.

Foreshadowing: Even when you first start the game up, there's no "New Game" button, just "Continue". On top of that, the clock is running counterclockwise. The "Continue" ending has you wipe all your memories, resetting your save data and putting you right back at the beginning of the game... with the "Continue" button, implying this has happened before. Complete with the visual of the clock running counterclockwise as the credits roll. Despite the game's title, the time loop is only 10 minutes long. The missing two minutes are your meeting with your wife's father, and they're the key to ending the loop and the cause of the whole conflict.

Oh, Crap!: It's possible for the husband to stress out or upset the wife enough that she will leave the apartment, where she will then encounter the cop and attempt to cooperate with him. However, if this happens after he proves to her that he's in a time loop and explains what the cop wants with her, she will instead gasp in horror upon meeting the cop in the apartment hallway.

Hiding in the closet before your wife leaves the bathroom is necessary to learn the location of the watch when the cop arrives. To prevent you from waiting out the entire loop, after a few seconds, the protagonist mutters, "And now we wait..." and the game skips ahead to the cop's arrival. A similar time skip occurs if you convince your wife of the loop, tell her about the cop, and select the dialogue option to wait for his arrival. You can also choose to fall asleep on the bed to skip time.

Mind Screw: The ending. You apparently flashback to when you spoke with your and your wife's father eight years ago about your relationship with her and how he doesn't approve, which results in a violent altercation that kills him. Then you find yourself back in the present, stare at the pocket watch now going in reverse, and find yourself back in that moment again... except apparently as an alternate timeline, where the two of you had a civil conversation and you either decide to keep dating her or break up with her, which has the further choice of keeping your memory or get your memory of her wiped. Except according to your wife, you and she never met until after she tried killing her dad. And then there are his comments about getting the wife pregnant, something that only happened in the future...

Hope Spot: It looks like you are getting your wife out of harm's way by making her leave the apartment in distress. However, before long she gets returned by the Cop. When you knock out your wife with the sleeping pills and then hide in the closet, it looks like the Cop is leaving the apartment without making any trouble. But then he stops in his tracks at the front door and decides to search the closet also. There's a scenario where you manage to tell the Cop the truth about the Father's death and he leaves, watch in tow, you and your wife hug it out...and the loop starts over again.

Yank the Dog's Chain: If you call Bumblebee to get her to talk down her dad, then your wife and the cop will be able to have a civil conversation about why he's robbing you and the circumstances of her father's death. It seems like a happy ending, with the wife willingly giving the cop her father's pocket watch to help pay for Bumblebee's medical finances and discovering that she has a long-lost half-brother from her father's affair with the nanny... and then you find yourself back at the door of the apartment again, back at the start. The game doesn't even count this scenario as an ending.

Even with the benefits of a time loop, it's impossible to beat the cop in a straight up fight using the knife. While you counter more of the cop's attacks with each attempt, the most you can do is stab him and stop him from pulling out his gun...before he overpowers you with five hard right hooks anyways. Any attempt to fight him after that will have him knock your ass out with a single punch, not even letting you swing the knife from the first attempt at fighting him, and the husband telling himself to try something else.

Developer's Foresight: If you drug your wife but spend long enough talking to her in the living room, she'll collapse to the floor rather than excuse herself to the bedroom to sleep. However, if you hide in the closet when the cop breaks in, he'll still check the bedroom for other occupants, so you can still use the lightswitch trap on him. After finding out that you are your wife's half-brother, you enter another loop, allowing you to complete the requirements for the other endings, including the "Confessed" ending (which is the only window of opportunity for this ending).

What the Hell, Hero?: Eating dessert without your wife, opening the pocket watch vent in her view, being upset about having a baby, or talking to her about bizarre and sensitive subjects without convincing her of your case will upset her and cause her to call you out. At best, she'll refuse to do anything you ask him to and storms into her room, and at worst, she'll leave the apartment and run into the cop early.

comment
Anti-Frustration Features: If you try calling Bumblebee or the healthcare insurance after knocking the cop unconscious, you will remember the phone numbers in subsequent loops, so don't worry about having to memorize them or writing them down somewhere. In the "Alone" ending, if you want to go for the other endings for full completion, you can find the watch in the bathroom vent again and set the minute hand back two minutes, returning you to the confrontation with the father where you can choose your ending. Be careful, however, as choosing the "Continue" ending undoes all of your progress and the watch will revert to how it was earlier in the game. Leaving the apartment restarts the loop early, serving as a sort of reset button if you mess up a step in a path. Hiding in the closet before your wife leaves the bathroom is necessary to learn the location of the watch when the cop arrives. To prevent you from waiting out the entire loop, after a few seconds, the protagonist mutters, "And now we wait..." and the game skips ahead to the cop's arrival. A similar time skip occurs if you convince your wife of the loop, tell her about the cop, and select the dialogue option to wait for his arrival.

Contrived Coincidence: We are to believe that the player character and his half-sister who never met before have randomly met and fallen in love in their twenties. Then again, stuff like this has been known to happen in real life... Less believable is that, on the same night the wife decides to announce her pregnancy, where she conveniently names the baby after the player character's mother, their father's friend bursts in looking for the wife's watch, with the baby name providing a clue as to why he's there in the first place.

There is no ending where the husband is happy.

Video Game Cruelty Potential
 Twelve Minutes (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4
comment
Video Game Cruelty Potential: If you use the knife on your wife or the cop while he's tied up and/or unconscious, you'll kill them. The game even acknowledges this when it comes to repeatedly killing the wife, as the husband will get better at killing her the more he does it; going from sloppily stabbing her in the stomach to slitting her throat for a quick death. You can claim to the cop that you're innocent and that the blame is fully on your wife. While the game doesn't directly acknowledge it, there is nothing preventing you from down sitting at the table and eating cake while your wife is loudly sobbing and having a mental breakdown on the couch in the same room. The player character will even default to his cheerful dialogue on how good and tasty the cake is.

You Shouldn't Know This Already

You Shouldn't Know This Already: Zigzagged. Even if the player knows something already before the husband discovered it, the husband won't have the dialogue option to bring it up. For example, if you didn't go through the normal progression of having dessert with your wife and her giving you the present of baby clothes (where it is revealed that the baby will be named after your late mother, Dahlia), the husband won't be able to ask for the name of the nanny from the restrained cop; showing the baby clothes to the cop without being told the name of the husband's mother won't get an answer out of him, versus in the normal progression, you show it to him to jog his memory about the nanny's flowery name. Averted for the location of the watch by the power of the player's Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory. You're supposed to hide in the closet before your wife leaves the bathroom, though you can access this by sticking your nose around the apartment without actually having to learn where it is.

Dark and Troubled Past: Hoo boy... The wife's father was murdered eight years ago. The cop was a friend of his who was witness to his final moments and is firmly of the belief that the wife did it, so he feels justified in robbing the couple and stealing the pocket watch to finance his daughter's cancer treatment. Then it turns out that her father survived a week after the wife attempted to shoot him, and he was instead killed by her half-brother, a product of the father's affair with her nanny. Then it turns out the half-brother is you.
