Daisy Ridley co-stars in Twe🌱lve Minutes, the interactive time-loop𝓀 thriller shown during last night’s Gamescom Opening Night Live. But she couldn’t tell you how its story concludes.

The Star Wars actress recorded her dialogue over weeks of afternoon sessions in Londoཧn - but even knowing her lines doesn’t necessarily help her u💝ntangle the game’s non-linear script.

. “It’s cool because you as the player are learning more, so you're trying to figure out more.”

Ridley plays one of three central, though unnam🙈ed, characters in Twelve Minutes - the wife to James McAvoy’s husband, who have their romantic evening at h𓄧ome disturbed by a home invader, played by Willem Dafoe.

Twelve Minutes’ publisher Annapurna Interactive has a Hollywood connection, having sprung out of the production company behind films like Booksmart and Hustlers. It’s had an extraordinarily successful few years in games, too, putting out What Remains of Edith Finch, Outer Wilds, and Journey’s PC vers𝐆ion.

The developer responsible for Twelve Minutes is Luis Antonio, a Ubisoft Quebec veteran who has been working on his indie project since 2013. As McAvoy, plౠayers will repeat 12 minute time loops, influencing events during each cycle by interacting with th🌃e apartment around them.

GamesRadar talked to Antonio about the ideas and inspiration behind 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Twelve Minutes back in January. One touchpoi🐻nt was The Witness,✨ which Antonia actually worked on alongside Jonathan Blow as the puzzle game’s lead artist.
