Board 8 > Finished 12 Minutes

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well that was a weird twist! Pretty fun game if you can ignore where the story goes. I liked the time loop aspect and bringing back knowledge from different loops.

Yeah it's a pretty cool game, though personally I reached a point where I'm kinda stuck and not sure what else to do. I've been watching a playthrough alongside it and getting ideas from that but I don't really know if I have the interest to play it anymore.

There's some neat stuff you can do, but I think it falls far short of other similar games. I highly recommend a game called Overboard! that came out a few months ago. You play as a woman who murders her husband on a boat voyage, and you have to figure out how to avoid getting caught until you can get off the boat. It has a similar formula where you learn things every loop, but the characters and story and everything is a lot better, IMO. It's also less obtuse.

Where are you stuck? Usually if you're not getting anywhere after a few loops the husband will hint at what the goal is.

But yeah if you have no interest in it then fair enough!

I got one ending (at least I think it's an ending) where I found out the husband is actually the brother and that you were the one who really killed your wife's father. Tried confessing the cop that it was actually me but it doesn't really work out.

I had a good time with this one! It's got some cool stuff going on but you can definitely see the seams at times. Also while I enjoyed the story I feel pretty certain that later parts won't land very well with a majority of players.

There's one specific point I hit that IMO is really rough and trial-and-errory, especially given how much tedious set up is required to give a chance at progress. Outside of that one stumbling block I felt the game progressed very logically, and it was fun continuing to peel back the layers.

The game's biggest strength is definitely in its presentation and cozy puzzle box atmosphere. Not a mindblowing experience by any means but I feel it's pretty memorable - basically the perfect Game Pass game.

You're right at the end, Snake. You just have to go to the bathroom, grab the pocket watch, look at it, and wait.

Oh that's it huh? Well I'll definitely finish it out then!

I beat the game and got all the endings.

I personally found it a little tedious. I also didn't really end up liking most of the twists/story that much. It's definitely strongest at the start and have a bunch of pieces to play with to figure out the main solutions and gets weaker as the game goes on and its more of do everything i've done 5-10 times already again in the right order and say the right things.

Overall I'm glade it was on game pass and didn't pay for it.

I also finished in twelve minutes but at my age thats OK
