![]() ![]() ![]() Who is Alli? What’s her history with Ethan?Īlli and Ethan were a couple, but his trust issues eventually pushed Alli away. The scene where he calls his mother to check about the book is to give us a sense of how Ethan’s memories are disjoined. Eventually, he finds it and begins reading it, but his memory lapses make him forget that he took the diary out from storage. At the time of receiving it, Ethan puts it away with a bunch of his other things and forgets about it. Where did the diary come from?Įthan’s father gave him the diary with a lot of his work and theories. Ethan also is hell-bent on outdoing his father’s work to prove that he’s his own man. ![]() Ethan is left with pockets of missing memories and has frequent blackouts. So as the film begins, we’re shown that Ethan has tried to use the machine to erase memories of his father, at least the bad ones. He eventually witnesses his father passing away, an it leaves him with remorse. While Ethan felt that his father was not appreciative enough, it appears Ethan had his own trust issues and misinterpreted many things straining his relationship with his father.

I can see how some people may be turned off by the repetitiveness of running through the same scene and dialogue over and over again, but for me this was the interesting part. ![]() I thought the story was excellent and was not disappointed. Whilst it does sound extremely monotonous, each play through gives you more information and answers in order to use that newly acquired information to go forward the loop after and it continues until you are able to solve the mystery and get one or several of the many endings. Each time someone dies or the current story is played out the story is rewound back to the start of the 12 minutes and the loop starts again. The game revolves around your tiny apartment with your wife and is played out in real time with a maximum of 12 minutes through any given time loop. No expense spared in the casting department which helps with the immersion. The voice cast were great and this is no surprise considering the three main actors were James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley and Willem DaFoe. It is nothing special though and no use of ray tracing or any particularly breathtaking visuals. The graphics are quite nice for the style and suits the story and gameplay. The controls and gameplay are a very straight forward click and drag system which is very intuitive. The tutorial and game mechanics are offered by navigating down the hallway to your apartment door and opening it. 12 minutes starts off with an interesting top-down view of an apartment foyer. ![]()
