Annapurna Interactive and developer Luis Antonio have quietly delayed the release date of interactive thriller Twelve Minutes.

SteamDB (a website that tracks changes on Steam’s database), recorded that the game’s release date had been delayed from 2020 to 2021. At this time of writing, Annapurna Interactive has not issued a statement on the delay.

Twelve Minutes is a top down interactive thriller, playing out in 12 minutes in real time. Players are trapped in a time loop, a romantic evening with their wife being derailed by a psychotic detective accusing your wife of murder.

While taking place almost entirely in one room, players must use their knowledge of how the scene will play out to survive and break the loop. The game features the voice talents of James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe.

You can find the full rundown (via Steam) below.

TWELVE MINUTES is a real-time top-down interactive thriller with an accessible click and drag interface.

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.
