Twelve Minutes Shows New Gameplay Ahead of Launch Later This Week

Annapurna Interactive launched a new trailer for the Luis Antonio-developed narrative adventure Twelve Minutes, coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC-via Steam and the Windows Stor on August 19, 2021.

Twelve Minutes features a cast of characters voiced by James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe. Set in a home, a romantic dinner is about to turn into a nightmare after your character’s wife is found to be hiding something that leads to a detective breaking into your house and killing you. Luckily, you’re on a time loop that replays the same 12-minute loop.

During gameplay, players can interact with the world and choose various options in dialogue to change the outcome. However, what’s more, important is figuring out why this is all happening. Small changes will alter the course of events but expect to encounter plenty of bad endings. The character seems to have a memory of what happened before, but he’s forced to explain it to his wife with enough time to make it out alive.

For now, the game is a console exclusive for Xbox One; no other platforms have been announced.
