STUCK IN A TIMELOOP! (Twelve Minutes Complete Let's Play)

You Ever feel a sense of Deja Vu...? Welcome to Twelve Minutes. We played this live and it was an interesting puzzle/point and click experience. At times challenging & repetitive but ultimately Interesting since the production was well done. Sorry I was finishing up dinner at the beginning of the stream! SPOILERS BELOW

I read a review on steam that PERFECTLY summed up my opinion on the game. My biggest issue is there hits a point in the game where you have to do things over and over if you choose the wrong "opinion" dialogue. It was no longer about solving a puzzle and more or less about solving what the dev wanted me to click. That was frustrating. Especially doing it live (HOLY MOLY THE BACKSEATING) BUT Ill post a review by Sonic Midsection (Quite a weird name) that summed up my feelings after digesting the game a bit more



*********
I went into this game knowing that people said some parts were cryptic. However, loving the visual style, the publisher, and the concept, I decided to go for it anyways. This is coming from someone who loves David Lynch, Hitchcock, and Lucasarts point and click adventure games: this game is not fun and has an objectively bad story.
Without spoiling, what I mean by objectively bad is that the story quite literally expects us to believe something about a character that there is no plausible way for us to believe about them. I was expecting time loops, fake cops, and generally twists that would make sense and thicken the plot. The game's main twist completely breaks the plot, and left me with absolutely no drive to finish the game afterwards.
I did finish it, but not without the aid of a walkthrough. To put it into perspective. I was extremely happy with my progress about halfway through the game. I felt smart, as the game was not holding my hand. However, I knew a piece of information from my previous loop that I could absolutely not find a way to get my character to say in game. Swallowing my pride, I consulted a walkthrough to see that I had done exactly what needed to be done, simply BEFORE reselecting a dialogue option (which was not highlighted, as most of the essential ones were). I had clicked that same dialogue option several times through my loops, but a very specific order needed to occur for my progress to continue.
This was when the game descended into depths I thought impossible of a game I was so excited to play. The story meandered around waiting for me to figure out the increasingly specific order of actions I had already completed 60+ times. I expected to feel some level of hopelessness based on the time loop mechanic; but the frustrations I faced were not based at all on the interesting causality time loop, but sheer asinine point and click sequencing issues that completely killed the experience.
