Twelve Minutes achievement guide, roadmap and tracker

Twelve Minutes is a top-down interactive thriller: a man's evening with his wife is interrupted by a cop who accuses her of murder - and then the twelve minutes loop, over and over, until you learn enough to break the cycle. A tense, dialogue-heavy point-and-click starring the voices of James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley and Willem Dafoe.

The 12 achievements (all hidden) split into three things: ending choices, one-off loop actions, and three painting collectibles. The endings - Alone, Confessed, Coward, Mindfulness and Continue - branch from how you resolve the loop; Continue is the true, final ending, reached only after Mindfulness. Faun, Seasons and Ouroboros ask you to watch each of the three paintings (bedroom, living room, kitchen) change across loops - and despite its name, Ouroboros is a painting, not the finale. The rest are small, deliberate acts: water the plant, do nothing at all, or run one flawless "perfect day". Nothing is permanently missable - the loop always lets you try again.
