12 Minutes just released on PC and Xbox and can be played via Xbox Game Pass right now. Developed by one dev, Luís António, and published by Annapurna, it has the main character explore the same scenario over and over again until you figure out how to get out of the time lop you're stuck in.
With this need to keep repeating the same moments, you need to figure out a quick way to reset your loop or just pause everything for a moment. Here is how you skip time and restart your loop.
How to Fast Forward
There are two central ways you can skip the game forward in 12 Minutes. The first way you can do this is by hiding in the closet.
Just click on it to open it up and then click on it again once you're inside to close it again. From here, the clock will skip forward. The issue with this method is you have to avoid letting your wife see you, or she will give away your location when the cop arrives.
If you don't like this idea very much, you can choose to fall asleep instead. This will not leave you hidden when the cop enters though so watch out for that. You can also choose to take the sleeping pills which achieve the same basic outcome.
How to restart the loop
There are a few ways to restart the loop but the easiest and most obvious way of doing so is by simply leaving the apartment. The loop is localised within your apartment so leaving resets the whole thing.
If you'd prefer something more explosive or can't reach the door for some reason, get yourself hurt or killed and the loop will restart. You can do this by using objects or by fighting back against the cop.
