Twelve Minutes
Achievement guide · roadmap · 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.
Alone
CommonChoose to be alone.
On the second meeting with the father, choose to leave the wife alone; the Alone ending unlocks automatically.
Fluidity
CommonWater the bedroom plant at least once.
Fill the cup at the sink, carry it to the bedroom and water the plant.
Continue
UncommonChoose to forget everything.
The true, final ending. On the Mindfulness path, at the very end drag the clock hand back to two minutes before 12 so the "Continue" option appears, then choose Continue.
Groundhog
UncommonHave a perfect day.
Run a full "perfect" loop: learn the cop's motive, get the phone, make the call, prepare dessert with the wife, receive the baby-clothes gift, dance together, and let the day play out.
Coward
UncommonBetray the wife and help the cop.
Sedate the wife, take the watch, hide in the closet, knock the cop out and handcuff him, then cooperate with his instructions.
Confessed
UncommonConfess to the Cop and give him the watch.
With the pocket watch in hand, get the wife onto the couch, tell her you killed her father, that it's your fault and you regret it, then confess to the cop that you'll turn yourself in.
Listen
RareLet it be.
Start a loop, enter the apartment, then do nothing at all - don't touch the controls and let the scene play out to the end.
Faun
RareObserve all variations of the bedroom painting.
Inspect the bedroom painting across multiple loops until you've seen all three stages (the balcony couple with white flowers, then the woman recoiling, then the man alone with a monstrous shadow).
Mindfulness
RareChoose to go back to reality.
Complete the required beats (discuss the wife's book, reach the library at 11:58, check the clock at 12:00 and pick "I change my mind"), then choose to return to reality. This is the gateway to Continue.
Seasons
RareObserve all variations of the living room painting.
Inspect the living-room painting (above the couch) across loops to see all four seasonal stages (green, autumn, stormy, winter).
Ouroboros
RareObserve all variations of the kitchen painting.
Inspect the egg painting to the right of the kitchen sink across loops until it becomes a snake eating its own tail. Despite the name, it's a painting collectible, not the ending.
Gardener
LegendaryGrow all three flowers in the bedroom plant.
After reaching the Alone ending, keep watering the bedroom plant across separate loops until it grows all three flowers.
