Twelve Minutes Achievements Walkthrough Guide
Von harvey
Made this guide because I wanted the cleanest walkthroughs to get all achievements in Twelve Minutes. I believe this is one of the most optimal way of doing the game for 100% achievements. I also got lost so many times just trying to do the achievements without a guide, so here it is!

INTRO
Hey! This is my first ever guide! Made it because I was so confused and flustered, and decided to share it. I'm sure there are other ways to accomplish this but this walkthrough was pretty smooth for me to get 100%. Hope this helps!

TWELVE MINUTES: The game is all about looping scenes over and over. If you miss 1 step, you might get lost in what you did wrong, aka not get the right dialog to progress.

IMPORTANT!!!!
  • For this guide, I will be using Polygon's game walkthrough[www.polygon.com] and refer to each section in the article as "LOOP #". Make sure to have both my guide and that walkthrough open while playing the game to get all achievements.
(P.S. I also used True Achievements[www.trueachievements.com] for the achievements instructions and modified them a bit for clarity).
FIRST RUN
START A NEW RUN
  • 11. LISTEN: Go into the apartment and then just don't touch the mouse/controller until time runs out. Don't even move in the apt.
→ LISTEN COMPLETE
SECOND RUN
This is the longest run because you pretty much have to play the whole game once. You shouldn't have to delete your progress (unless you mess up big time).

NEW LOOP STARTS
Right at the beginning...

  • 10. FLUIDITY: Get the cup go to the sink fill it with water go to the room on the left and click on the plant so just drag the cup to the plant.
→ FLUIDITY COMPLETE

  • 7. FAUN 1/3: This is unlocked by viewing the painting in the bedroom at all of its stages.
    - 7.1. Inspect the bedroom painting: Man and woman on a balcony, surrounded by white flowers

  • 8. SEASONS 1/4: This achievement needs you to look at the painting above the couch in the living room 4 times in total.
    - 8.1. Inspect the season painting: It shows two trees with green leaves.

  • 9. OUROBOROS 1/3: This is unlocked by looking at the painting of the egg on the wall on the kitchen side 3 separate times.
    - 9.1. Inspect the egg painting: In the beginning it is just an egg.

STARTING NOW, REMEMBER TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDE ALONG WITH THE POLYGON WALKTHROUGH FOR LOOPS STEP BY STEP[www.polygon.com]

LOOP 1
Note: This is referred to as "Have Desert with Your Wife"
After you ate the dessert with your wife, don't resist the arrest, let the convo play out and get killed for the first time. Then, get back into the apartment...
  • 8.2. Inspect the season painting: It shows one tree with green and the other (the left one) with yellow leaves which can be hard to recognize. Additionally the sun is more present here.

LOOPS 2 to 8
After you had the first "friendly cop" loop in which he talks about the "monster" and the man thinks that everything's over. Don't reveal the monster at this point...
  • 7.2. Inspect the bedroom painting: Woman recoiling from man, white flowers gone
  • 8.3. Inspect the season painting: It shows a stormy scene with reddish brown leaves on the trees.

LOOP 9

LOOP 11 - ONLY STEP 1 & 2

  • 3. ALONE: When you meet with the father for the second time chose to leave the daughter alone and achievement should pop. If you missed that achievement, when you enter the empty apartment, head towards bathroom, open the vent, grab the clock and put it two minutes before 12. It will go back to the conversation with the father.
→ ALONE COMPLETE

  • 9.3. Open the vent under the bathroom sink with the key, reset the pocket watch to 2 minutes before 12, and then choose to stay with her.
    - Inspect the egg painting: It will become a snake eating it's tail in the shape of the egg once back in the apartment.
→ OUROBOROS COMPLETE

NEW LOOP STARTS
Right at the beginning...
  • 12. GARDENER 1/3: You need to water the plant in between ending loops to get it to blossom. Important note: start this after the Alone ending or else your plant progress will be reset.
    - 12.1. Go water your plant, it will grow into a bush in the next loop.

After you learn that the "cop" is trying to get the watch to help his daughter with her illness...
  • 6. GROUNDHOG: Start a new day, go into the closet, get the cellphone in the bag, and call bumblebee, tell her "The reason why her father is doing this", then go to the living room, get both cups and fill them with water, get both deserts on the fridge and set them on the table along with the glasses.

    Tell your wife you are ready for dessert, sit down at the table with her and eat dessert until she gives you the gift, open it and look at the baby clothes, tell her what you think about it "it is gonna be wonderful", she will ask you to dance, agree, and just go along with her until the day ends.
→ GROUNDHOG COMPLETE

NEW LOOP STARTS
Right at the beginning...
  • 12.2. You now have 1 bud from plant; go pour more water on your flower once fully grown.
After you give the baby clothes to the cop and discover you are your wife's brother....
  • 4. CONFESSED: When the day restarts talk to your wife and choose the following:

    - Talk about the past...
    - Tell her what really happened
    - Say you killed her father
    - It is your fault
    - Say you will confess

    Get the cellphone inside the closet and call bumblebee and say your wife is innocent

    Get the knife/spoon and take the watch from the vent bellow the medicine cabinet

    Wait for the cop and let your wife talk, when it is your turn to talk, choose:

    - Tell him you killed her father
    - Say it's your fault
    - Tell him about the watch

    After your wife asks you to leave, do so.
→ CONFESSION COMPLETE

NEW LOOP STARTS
Right at the beginning...
  • 12.3. You now have 2 buds from plant; go pour more water on your flowers.
  • 5. COWARD:
    - Grab the knife and cellphone and quickly put your wife to sleep, turn the light on and off once on the bedroom and grab the watch, after that hide on the closet until he arrives, wait for him to get knocked out and handcuff him.
    - Only grab one handcuff of him, leave the other items, after he wakes up say you will collaborate with him and follow his instructions, after the loop ends you will get the achievement.
→ COWARD COMPLETE

NEW LOOP STARTS
Right at the beginning...
  • 12.4. You now have 3 buds from plant; go pour more water on your flowers.
→ GARDENER COMPLETE
  • 2. MINDFULNESS:
    - Talk to your wife 3 times about her book.
    - Use the watch in the bathroom and place the needle at 11:58 to go to the library
    - Here, you must check the clock at 12:00 exactly. But this is quite tricky because the father will stop the loop before that. So you must:
    - Let him talk until 11:59. He'll say something like "What do you choose ?"
    - Now, click on the red book but select "I change my mind" just after (if not you'll miss this achievement and lose your save !)
    - Click on the clock and let him talk until 12:00.
→ MINDFULNESS COMPLETE

NEW LOOP STARTS
  • 1. CONTINUE: This will end the game and reset everything to the very beginning, so it is recommended to save this one for last. After finishing Mindfulness, put back the clock at 11:58.
    - You will need to have talked to the wife about her book until she reads a quote from it. (This should already be done with Mindfulness). Upon reaching the father, click on the book in the bottom of the screen and then proceed to not select anything else. Eventually the scene will end and the achievement will pop.
→ CONTINUE COMPLETE

Congratulations, you should now have 100% achievements for Twelve Minutes! Hope this helped!

@remocon23 I see the issue, it is only the first 2 steps of loop 11, im very sorry, i dont know how i missed that
remocon23 31. Dez. 2021 um 4:57 
i am doing the polygon guide. on Loop 11, it told me to just click the book and don't click anything else, which led to the CONTINUE achievement. not the ALONE achievement :(

This is great. I didn't even know the player could set the clock(s) themselves.

Note:
For the last CONTINUE achievement, after finishing Mindfulness, you won't see a "CONTINUE" option at the menu. \

You are supposed to rewind the big clock , set the time to 11:58.

Don't be like me!!!!!
Don't just reset the game!!!!
Or else you have to play everything through again to get to the father!

Coward achievement you forgot to mention you have to grab the watch after you roofie your wife, then tell the cop you're innocent when he wakes up before you can "collaborate." Other than that bit of confusion, great guide on the achievements!
