Twelve Minutes, presents us with a story that seems to have been written by Christopher Nolan or Alfred Hitchcock, it is a simple and direct story which becomes more complicated as we make decisions, managing to keep the viewer attentive to the truths and stories that we are discovering. What can you do differently if you wake up and know what is going to happen in the next 12 minutes? Twelve Minutes, is a crazy thriller inspired by great classic thrillers, an adventure that has a story that keeps you in constant suspense, making decisions and in a time loop that seems infinite. So far, in my opinion, it is the Indie surprise of this year 2020.

SOUND
Neil Bones, the person in charge of the soundtrack puts the icing on the cake, a composer who has already stood out in the world of videogames, he is also a multi-instrumentalist who has participated with great orchestras. For this occasion he presents us with melodies in his own style of psychosis, memento or brilliance; musical notes that manage to maintain the suspense in every step we take, it is not a work that becomes monotonous or repetitive. He knows how to focus and give strength to the different situations that happen on screen, making the story flow like water.

Se ve brutal en serio, la mayoría de estos juegos con toma de decisiones cuentan con varios finales, normalmente unos buenos y otros malos, como en heavy rain o until dawn, sabes si este también cuenta con distintos finales?, Saludos!
Sip. es rejugable y las decisiones afectan los finales. Saludos
