If I Could Turn Back Time
Annapurna Interactive, along with developer Nomada, has announced a release date for the PlayStation and Nintendo Switch ports of its chrono-chaotic murder mysteryTwelve Minutes, following on from its recent release on Xbox and PC. The strange andverydivisive “interactive thriller” will be available to purchase on the former platforms from December 7.
Twelve Minutesis the tale of a man seemingly caught in a time loop, forced to relive the horrendous murder of himself and his wife by a home-invading “police detective” over and over again. As the story unfolds, the player is forced to use experimentation and adaptation to prevent the horrible event from taking place, ultimately reshaping destiny itself and breaking the loop. As is to be expected, however, there is far,farmore to this strange turn of events than meets the eye.

The game is clearly inspired by multiple stellar movies — with its press release namecheckingThe Shining, Rear Window, andMementoin a single sentence — but it seems the final product did not meet its lofty aspirations for some players and critics, while simultaneously receiving heavy plaudits and acclaim from others.
