12 Minutes: Beginners' guide

Twelve Minutes gives you exactly 12 minutes to make any progress. All the information you gather is saved for later. However, you will not keep any items or changes made in the room.

When you activate the inventory menu, time stops.
To see how much time you have left, open the menu - the clock in the background resets every time the story restarts.
There is no limit of attempts.
To quickly complete the time, go to bed or lock yourself in the closet (closing the door behind you).
To reset the day, if you make a mistake in the beginning, go out the door to the corridor.
Do anything suspicious out of sight of your wife (close the door to make sure).
