![]() ![]() But you don't have to take my word for it, you can hear from the actors themselves! Not only was this game made while observing COVID precautions, it features a complex narrative with plenty of emotional range for its characters, which required nuanced performances from the actors to fully immerse plays into the story. So while I didn't even come close to solving the time-loop mystery of the game or exploring every end of its branching narrative during the demo, I'm thrilled to offer you this exclusive video that goes behind the scenes of Twelve Minutes' production to learn a lot more about the game.įeaturing the star-studded voice cast of James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe, along with creative director Antonio, the nearly 10-minute video delves into the themes of the game and reveals the particular challenges of making it. The new top-down perspective thriller with a top-notch cast of voice-actors hails from gaming industry veteran Luis Antonio and has the backing of perennial indie ally Annapurna Interactive. However, these are all AAA titles, whereas Twelve Minutes and other Annapurna Interactive games bring A-list talent to the world of indies.During this year's inaugural Tribeca Games showcase, I had a chance to play exactly 12 minutes of, you guessed it, Twelve Minutes. Other traditional actors in video games include Elijah Wood in Spyro, Mark Hamill in Arkham Asylum, Kit Harrington in Call of Duty and Kristen Bell in Assassin's Creed, among others. Similarly, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has Shameless actor Cameron Monaghan as the game's central character Cal Kestis, and Keanu Reeves famously lent his appearance to Cyberpunk 2077. Death Stranding, directed by legendary Hideo Kojima, features the voice and face of The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus. Outside of Annapurna Interactive, using top tier talent for voices and more in video games is becoming a common practice. Annapurna Interactive's penchant for grabbing top names to star in their games is likely due to the studio's connection to its parent company Annapurna Pictures, which has produced popular films such as Booksmart, Hustlers, and Zero Dark Thirty, among others. Additionally, the yet-to-be-released Open Roads title stars The Americans actor Kerri Russel and Booksmart breakout Kaitlyn Denver. Maquette is an adventure puzzle game that took players on a heartbreaking journey through a relationship, featured Jurassic Park star Bryce Dallas Howard and Fringe actor Seth Gabel. This isn't the first time Annapurna Interactive has released a game with A-list stars. That leaves X-Men star McAvoy to be the husband in Twelve Minutes, a man trying desperately to save his wife and uncover the truth with a time limit hanging over his head. Those who make it to the game's end will also discover one of these A-list actors has a secret second role as well. Though the detective doesn't have much dialogue in the released trailers, those familiar with Dafoe's work in The Florida Project and Spider-Man can easily identify his rusty voice. Ridley, best known for her role as Rey in the recent Star Wars trilogy, plays the role of the wife, the only female character in Twelve Minutes.
