    pfiou. Je viens de finir 12 minutes (je dirais un peu plus de 7h pour en voir le bout). J’ai réussi à avoir 2 fins différentes, sachant qu’il y en a certainement d’autres (et que la 2ème fin que j’ai faite, devient « définitive », c’est à dire obligé de recommencer au début, si je veux tenter une autre approche).

    Un de mes indés favoris de cette année, clairement. Il n’est jamais    pfiou. Je viens de finir 12 minutes (je dirais un peu plus de 7h pour en voir le bout).

    Un de mes indés favoris de cette année, clairement. Il n’est jamais frustrant. Ca marche au déclic. J’ai l’impression d’être coincé, et d’un coup je me dis « putain, je suis con, on peut tenter ça ». Et ça enchaîne sur une nouvelle situation, etc… On est toujours surpris de la « finalité » de nos actions et de voir qu’on peut encore pousser plus loin le jeu.
    Impossible de trop en parler sans spoiler mais je le conseille à tout le monde (du moins à tous ceux qui ne seront pas rebuté par l’aspect point and click).    … Expand

    Interesting game to play on slow day with a partner, trying to piece together the story. Thankfully gamepass exists. Off gamepass id review lower.

    Remarkable interpretation of endless loop in twelve minutes. Absolutely worth a try.

    Entertining and challenging thriller adventure. The endings are satisfying to discover even if some of the puzzles are very difficult to solve.

    When Originality Becomes Frustrating

    Twelve Minutes quickly captivates with its original concept and impeccable atmosphere. However, it disappoints fairly quickly once you realize that our choices are too limited compared to the possibilities you can imagine.

    12 minutes is a point’n’click thriller playing with a time loop theme with a great premise and introductory setting, but with a lack of interactivity and an unfortunate story. After the enthusiasm from the beginning of the game, when you will enjoy the offered possibilities of the game sandbox, frustration and disappointment will come. Even dabing with brilliant actors is not helping the game. It seems to be recorded in a hurry and without the possibility for the actors to get used to the character.

    Great idea woefully executed. The story, gripping at first, soon devolves into frustrating repetition. The characters just aren’t interesting enough and the A-list actors offer what might just be the blandest performances of their careers. Spend your twelve minutes elsewhere.

    Inventive adventure thriller, that produces a lot of tense moments within the limited scenario. The solution doesn't meet expectations, though.
