In the cutthroat streaming world, OTT giant Netflix boasts of one differentiating factor and a potential trump card under its arsenal that its rival OTT platforms don’t (until now). It’s their expanding gaming division. Even Netflix knows that and is evidently quite serious about it.
And for the exact same reason, Netflix has just launched a riveting time loop interactive thriller to its gaming portfolio. We’re talking about a game called ‘Twelve Minutes’ which features the star-studded voice cast of James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and William Dafoe.
The point-and-click narrative game has elements of sci-fi, thriller, mystery, and the romantic drama genres. In ‘Twelve Minutes’, the player steps into the shoes of a husband who is seemingly about to spend a romantic evening with his wife. But the story takes a drastic turn when a cop enters the room, accuses the wife of murder, and ruthlessly beats the husband to death.
After that, the game takes you back to the point when the husband first entered the room. In every time loop, you have precisely twelve minutes where you must find a way or a clue to break the frustrating time loop by altering the outcome. Sounds intriguing right?
If you’re a diehard fan of time-loop films like ‘Source Code’ and ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ or even a film like Christopher Nolan’s ‘Memento’, then ‘Twelve Minutes’ is for you. You can play the game on Android and iOS devices free of cost provided that you’re a Netflix subscriber.
Besides ‘Twelve Minutes’, Netflix has also added another narrative driven point-and-click game title – ‘Kentucky Route Zero’. The goings-on revolve around the titular and secret underground highway and the mysterious persons who travel it. The story is told from the point of view of a truck driver named Conway.
So, what are you waiting for? Just log on to your Netflix mobile app and try these two games ‘Twelve Minutes’ and ‘Kentucky Route Zero’. You can watch the trailer of ‘Twelve Minutes’ below.
