Twelve Minutes Walkthrough Guide
Before you read the steps and hurriedly try to get to every objective of the game to end the story, it is important to understand that the game intends you to fail in every loop, return with more knowledge and look for ways that can stop the events about to unfold.
When you first start the game, you begin in the corridor of the apartment building you reside in. A few painting on both sides shouldn’t be of any importance in the beginning, but later on in the story. Head towards the door of your house and look for the fake rock next to the door to get the key.
Remember that all events that follow are going to happen at a set time. Every loop takes 12 minutes until you restart all over again
First Loop
In the first loop, you enter the house and are greeted by your wife who enters the living room shortly after your entrance. The first thing you need to do is to switch the lights on to the right of the entrance, go on towards the sink to get the mug, and another from the couch.
Your wife after greeting you will talk about the dessert, so you can set up the table for the both of you. Begin by taking the plates of dessert from the fridge and set them on the table. Now fill up the water mugs and place them at the table as well. You can now go to your wife and start eating your dessert.
At this point, your wife will then give you a gift, containing baby clothes. You can cut the time by talking or dancing with your wife. All of this will lead up to the first major event, which is the cop who knocks on the door, looking for your wife and claiming she killed her father. Let the cop arrest both of you and do not resist nor do anything. Let this scene play out until you’re the cop asks about the watch.
Second Loop
When you begin the second loop, your task here is to convince your wife that things are stuck in a loop. This can be done by immediately talking to her without wasting much time, and begin the dialogue sequence with her.
As she will have a hard time believing you, you will have two ways you can convince her. First, click on the window and tell her there is going to be thunder soon. The second is the gift that is hidden in the drawer in the bedroom. Bring it to her and you can then begin a small conversation asking her about the watch and what happened to her father.
Following this conversation, you can now head to the bedroom again, turn on the lights, and get slightly electrocuted by it. At this point, the cop will show up on time, repeating the events of the first loop.
Third Loop
With more details from the first two loops, you will have something to work with when trying to get more information out of both your wife and the cop. But to do that, you have to manipulate the key item and relocate it.
You have to be quick on your feet as you enter your apartment. Close the door behind you and enter the closet to the left, sliding its door shut. You are supposed to hide inside and look out through the blinds to see what events transpire if you aren’t present in the apartment.
This loop will show the cop entering the house, tying up your wife, and asking about the watch. The goal here is to find where your wife is hiding the watch, as she will not be honest about it if you just ask her yourself. You will now learn that it is hidden in the vents under the bathroom cabinet.
Fourth Loop
After knowing the location of the watch, this loop is all about extracting the truth from your wife. But not before convincing here again. The first thing you need to do in this loop is to pick the knife up from the kitchen and use it to open the vents in the bathroom to collect the watch. If you are having trouble locating it in the dark vent, you can pick up the fake candles from the dinner table, and place them inside the vent to illuminate it.
With the watch in hand, start convincing your wife about the loop, and then tell her about the watch she was hiding. This will force her to tell everything about her father’s death, how he died, and also tell you about the photo on the fridge.
The rest of the events will follow with the cop, and you can let the loop end with the information gained so far.
If you miss out on some questions by the time running out the cop showing up at the door, you can always let the loop play itself and restart with the next loop, continuing where you left off. But make sure you follow the same initial steps in convincing her and locating the watch.
Fifth Loop
Now you have a lot of information to work with, but it is only from your wife’s side. This time you need to hear from the cop, but that won’t be easy unless you have a method to subdue him.
You have a lot to do in this loop, which includes drugging your wife and hiding in the closet. To do that, begin by taking the picture from the fridge, picking up the mugs, setting the table with the desert, and finally switching off the lights in the bedroom if they are turned on.
After the desert, your wife will feel tired and go to bed. You should immediately get up and hide in the closet and wait for the cop. The cop will enter the house and then the room, only to be electrocuted as he tries to switch the lights on. Take this opportunity to rush to the cop, loot all the items from him, including the handcuffs and tie him up.
When he wakes up, ask him about everything. Why he is after the watch, why he is after his wife and what charges he has against her, why should she do this, and what is his relationship with the wife’s father.
Convince the cop that your wife didn’t murder her father by showing him the photo you picked up from the fridge. Finally as him about who else could be the murderer and inquire about the nanny.
The only thing left is to check on the man’s phone and read his messages. You will find her daughter Bumblebee’s conversation. Note down Bumblebee’s number somewhere so you can call her with your wife’s phone in the next loop
Sixth Loop
In this loop, we need to focus on getting the pretending cop to listen to you or your wife. Or at the very least, stall him enough to lead to a conversation. You can begin by talking to your wife by first proving about the loop, and then telling her you to know what happened on the day she ran away.
Head to the closet and pick up your wife’s phone. Now call in Bumblebee by dialing the number you noted earlier from the man’s phone. Talk to the daughter about her father wanting to arrest your wife, and that your wife is innocent.
After the conversation, tell your wife about the cop and choose to wait for him to come to the house. You will then hear the man talk to his daughter before he tries to barge in, but will proceed to ring the bell, unlike all the previous loops where he knocks loudly. Wait for the bell, then open the door. Your wife will step forward and talk to the man, while you should show the man the photo from the fridge. This will give you more information about your wife’s brother and who was the real murderer.
Seventh Loop
Repeat the previous loop by convincing your wife about the loop, talking about her running away, calling Bumblebee to stall her father, and then talk to your wife about her past and why her brother killed their father.
Now talk to your wife about the cop, the watch and why he needs it, and then wait for the cop to show up.
After the conversation with the cop, you will find out about the Nanny, but the man won’t be able to recall her name.
You can now restart the loop again with the same steps, but with the addition of picking up the gift from the drawer in the bedroom. When the event leads up to the man not remembering the name, hand him the baby dress from the gift.
This will be the turning point of the story, revealing everything about you, Dahlia the Nanny, the father’s affair with the nanny, and who really killed the father.
Spoilers: You are the killer called Monster, your mother was Dahlia the nanny whom your father was having an affair with, and you actually are your father’s son. And the most disturbing of them all is that your wife is actually your sister. Yep.
Ending
Now that you know everything about your past, there is just the ending left, which can be done by going into the bathroom, taking out the watch, and let the time wind back. This will trigger the cutscene that shows you and your father and how you murdered him.
