Developer[ Luis Antonio ](https://www.artofluis.com/)Publisher[ Annapurna Interactive ](https://annapurnainteractive.com/en)Release dateJul 12, 2021

What should be a romantic evening with your wife turns into a nightmare when a police detective breaks into your home, accuses your wife of murder and beats you to death...

Only for you to find yourself immediately returned to the exact moment you opened the front door, stuck in a TWELVE-MINUTE time loop, doomed to relive the same terror again and again...

Unless you can find a way to use the knowledge of what’s coming to change the outcome and break the loop.

TWELVE MINUTES blends the dream-like tension of THE SHINING with the claustrophobia of REAR WINDOW and the fragmented structure of MEMENTO.

Featuring James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe.
