In this interactive thriller, a romantic evening of a married couple (the developers have not given names to the characters) is interrupted by a brutal home invasion. The man tries to stop the attacker, but fails and immediately finds himself in the early evening, stuck in a time loop of 12 minutes.

The male is voiced by James McAvoy (It 2, Split), the female by Daisy Ridley (newest Star Wars trilogy), and the attacker by Willem Dafoe (The Boondock Saints, Project Florida, The Grand Budapest Hotel ″ “). In 12 Minutes, players have to go through dozens of possible outcomes and figure out how to deal with the attack and break the time loop.
