The Forgotten City probably fits the bill better as an 'artistic time-loop game', though I can't judge it as my PC is too weak to run it. Outer Wilds is a stellar time-loop that reminds me of Horizon Zero Dawn in that they thought of a conceit first (clockwork solar-system, cave-woman vs robo-saurs), then made a main plot that is all about justifying and explaining the premise.

Mostly because I wouldnt call the timeloop the main draw of the game. (which 12 minutes desperately puts out) But I may just be underselling that in my memory, MM has a far better setup and background for the timeloop,

nurmie posted:between the incest, the vapid "high-concept" chin-rubbing loving void of a story that's been hastily plugged by "shocking" twists and the compulsion to have nothing less than A-list Hollywood actors doing the voices, 12 Minutes seems to just tick every single box in the list of lovely "This Videogame Is Art, Actually" elements Which makes it weirder when it feels like people got over that anxiety 5 years ago. Its like a game completely out of time; people would of gone mad for it 10 years ago.

Life is Strange could theoretically be called a time loop game, given the implication that Max unknowingly rewound at the very start of the game and might have been stuck in a loop trying to save Chloe and the town at the same time, only breaking the loop at the end of the game when she realises (and accepts) she can't do both. At least that's how I interpreted it.

fun hater posted:12 minutes is spectacularly bad. it has no point holding it together. it has a gimmick and a "twist" but the twist doesn't mean anything to you, the player because you don't know, care or empathize with these people. they don't evolve beyond being dollhouse figures you're smashing together in the hopes of generating a different result. but what tips it over to funny bad is that the game did not anticipate that the player would engage in anti-social behavior. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90XXoswaBhk

Ghostlight posted:RT played through the game and ate pudding during his wife's emotional discovery of her evil brother, but also stole the health insurance number from the cop's phone then hid in a closet for an entire loop sitting on hold while his wife pleaded for her life. I would say just because the game doesn't stop you being a monster of a person doesn't mean it's unintentional for you to be. Yeah given other stuff in the game (both things you need to do and things you can do) the idea the devs didn't expect players to do horrible things seems wrong.

let me rephrase: outside of the specific insane things you do to torture your "wife", the game did not expect people to do random stupid poo poo. i think its hard to argue the devs intended for whats his face to go "mmm yummy" while his wife sobs on the couch lol. the more likely answer is they recorded one set of lines and didnt program in anticipation of that interaction

if we're talking good time loop games, I hope folks here have at least tried out Loop Hero(I dunno if I just can't see it because I own it already, but there used to be a demo, not sure if it's still available or not) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G37bO9vg8RY&hd=1 really stylish visuals and the OST is an absolute banger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2vZlDz-UxU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hj9vra5-pc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kohMV7ui_1Q I played it to completion and after figuring out the missteps I was making in planning out my map layouts and character progressions, it was a really satisfying experience that super scratched that "one more run" itch. I also really liked the depth in the secrets you could find, and the story was good too, it even has one of my favorite reasons for continuing to do runs after you've finished the story.

If you haven't discovered some of the ways to speed up time then that kind of thing happens pretty naturally naturally in the game, and there are some sociopathic interactions in the game which aren't related to puzzles and which only exist to let the player do horrible things.

Like one of the first things that happens in that RTgame video is the guy stuffing a whole plate of pudding into his pocket. 12 Minutes runs into the same problem many prestige game do; that all the seriousness instantly becomes ridiculous when the game breaks through the facade of realism. There's a point in VoidBurger's stream where the wife gets punched to the ground and she does the same exact "OWOWOWOAH" sound clip twice in a row, and VoidBurger laughs her rear end off because a serious moment is instantly turned into a ridiculous farce. The only ways to fix that kinda thing is to either crunch with massive amounts of dev time on extremely minor interactions or to rethink making a game so po-faced in the first place.

There's no animation for actually carrying anything, so even if you let the wife set the table she shoves the puddings into her pockets and then pulls them back out when she gets to the table
