In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Twelve Minutes is proof that not every indie narrative needs to be a lecture. It delivers suspense and personal drama without shoehorning in modern ideological talking points or undermining tradition. Nearly non-woke, for a change.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Twelve Minutes stays focused on its high-concept thriller plot, prioritizing story and puzzle mechanics over identity politics. Characters are defined by their relationships and actions, not by race, gender, or sexuality, and the narrative keeps personal drama and psychological tension at its heart.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The game focuses on mature themes, family, trauma, and tough choices, without ridiculing or mocking traditional roles or values. Masculinity or femininity is not pathologized, and the story takes its dark family twists seriously, not as a platform for social commentary.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are not villainized; if anything, the game is refreshingly absent of preachy modern ideological talking points. The focus remains tight on the characters' personal dilemmas, so it doesn’t push any particular worldview or agenda.
