> Introduction

The achievements are fairly easy to get.
I really would advise that you go and experiment first.


Aaanyway ... you can find all achievements and instructions on how to get them below. Enjoy!

Mixtape player
Collect and play all 4 "Lost tapes"
This is fairly easy if you pay attention and explore all the rooms in every chapter.



Note: There is a map for every main area of the game (except the Sewers). They can be found near the beginning of the area, make sure to pick them up. Press 'm' to bring up the map overlay.



Tape #1 - The Pound
You have it by default.

Tape #2 - The Clinic
You find it in the 2nd Metro station, in a small room. It's on a couch in front of a TV.
Location marked on the map below (click for a closer view):






















Tape #3 - The Cabin
You find it in the Nezumi Testing Facility. It's in the room marked 'LAB-2A' on the map, placed on a machine.
Location marked on the map below (click for a closer view):



























Tape #4 - The Motel
You find it in the 1st Siren area in a side passage.
Location marked on the map below (click for a closer view):

























You get the achievement once you collected every tape AND played each one (started the tape, no need to play through it). You can find casette players in every chapter, sometimes multiple ones. To play a tape, simply go up to a casette player and interact with it, then select the tape you want to play from the list.



Note: You can hold down Esc to exit any tape at any time.

Good End
Get the best possible ending to the game
You need go the long way out this time to save your dog.



What to do:
  • 1.) Complete all 3 Siren fights (that huge grey monster that crawls after you)
  • 2.) Go back to the 'Save station' (and probably save)
  • 3.) Enter the door to the left of the 'Save station'
  • 4.) Keep going until you get to the end of the long descending tunnel, then ...

  • 5 - A.) Turn left, get in the pipe and keep crawling deeper
> OR <
  • 5 - B.) Turn right and keep going
    Get to the corridor where you hear your dog bark
    Get in the pipe to the left and crawl deeper

  • 6.) Fight through the enemies
  • 7.) At the live stalks, keep going straight
  • 8.) Go on until you get to a bright tunnel
  • 9.) Climb out of the sewer



Well done! You faced your fears, came out on top and got your dog as well. Enjoy the fresh air and the taste of victory.

Bad End
Get the bad ending
Choose the short way out and leave your dog behind.



What to do:
  • 1.) Complete all 3 Siren fights
  • 2.) Go back to the door next to the 'Save station'
  • 3.) Head down the tunnel and turn right
  • 4.) Get to the corridor where you hear your dog bark
  • 5.) Go for the ladder instead and climb out



Phew! That was a close one! You almost confronted your fears, but instead you successfully got away. You haven't learnt a damn thing, have you?

Really Bad End
Get the second worst ending
Basically, you need to kill your dog.



What to do:
  • 1.) Keep going in the Sewer until you get to the long corridor where you encounter your dog for the second time
  • 2.) Don't go to it, go back
  • 3.) Go into the corridor to the left, head all the way to the back
  • 4.) Someone will slide a pistol under the fence, pick it up
  • 5.) Go back to your dog and shoot it from a distance
  • 6.) Climb out of the sewer
> OR <
  • 1.) Complete the game with any ending
  • 2.) Start 'New Game +'
  • 3.) Get to the tunnel where your dog appears for the second time
  • 4.) Don't approach it, just shoot it
  • 5.) Climb out of the sewer



Hurray! Good job, you murdered your dog. What a great person you are. You can interact with its poor lifeless body to get some text you completely deserve. Monster.

Nightmare End
Complete the summoning and release Bayagototh
This is a secret ending, as it has a few requirements you need to fulfil before completion.



What to do:
  • 1.) Get to the Nezumi Testing Facility
  • 2.) Pick up Dr. Piccinini's dead body
    Get into Dr. Brundle's office. Picking up the body will slow down your game and Unity error messages will come up on screen. This is all part of the game, don't worry.

  • 3.) Deliver the body to Sotiris
    You'll get to a door with a padlock, so go and find a table with lock-picks. The body will be dropped automatically when you pick the lock-picks up.
    As you leave the area, you'll see Dr. Piccinini's body standing in the hall. He will run around the corner to where you need to go.

  • 4.) Acquire the sacrifice
    After crushing the Siren with the metal gate and killing it for good, then killing "Childhood Memories" (which pops out of its face; it also isn't necessary to kill it), get out of the area. After leaving through the door, go back again to the dead Siren.
    Now if you get close to its face, there should be an option to dig out an item (Child's Skull).

  • 5.) Deliver the sacrifice
    Go back to the hub where the safe room is and go in the door to the left of it. Keep going until you are at the end of the long descending. Head left here, then crawl into the pipe. Fight through all the spitters and roaches until you get to the part with the living stalks.
    Now head right and keep going until you are at Bayagototh (aka that weird tree with the hand). Put the "sacrifice" in its hand.

  • 6.) Now just go and get out of the sewer the way you normally would

A New Nightmare
Finish New Game +
In short, just complete the game twice.



What to do:
  • 1.) Go through the game from start to end once
  • 2.) Get any ending (doesn't matter which)
  • 3.) In the main menu choose 'New Game +'
  • 4.) Go through the game and get an ending (except the 'Really Bad End')
> OR <
> The easy way
1.) Complete the game with any ending
2.) In the Main Menu click 'Continue'
3.) Finish the final stretch of the game again



Note: In New Game + you get to keep all your weapons from your previous game. Keep in mind however, that you can't unlock the 'A New Nightmare' achievement by shooting your dog in the beginning and getting the 'Really Bad End'.

Mightnight Mode
Find the "Midnight Mode"
Discover one of the hidden game modes.



What to do:
  • 1.) Wait until a little after midnight (or set your system clock to midnight)
  • 2.) Start the game

If you play the game between midnight and 1 AM, it will automatically start in "Midnight Mode". Simply starting the game up during this time window will give you the achievement, no need to finish the mode.

It's a fun little roguelike mode. It even has leader boards for the fastest completion times.


Note: After discovering this secret mode, it will permanently unlock, giving you the option to play it in the main menu.
Simply click the 'Midnight' button to start it, it won't be tied to the time of day anymore.

Gallery
Find the "Gallery of Light"
Get in the secret developer room.



What to do:
  • 1.) Finish the game with any ending
  • 2.) Go to options
  • 3.) Find 'Gamma' settings
  • 4.) Turn the gamma up to the maximum amount
  • 5.) Go back to the main menu
  • 6.) Select either 'Continue' or 'New Game'


Instead of the regular game, you will be transported to the developer room. No need to go through the whole gallery or complete anything, you get the achievement right away.
In the gallery you can see all the enemies and entities you encounter throughout the game and the game modes.


To exit the Gallery, hold down the Esc key on your keyboard until it quits.

The Dark Mode
Find the "Dark Mode"
Discover the other hidden game mode.



What to do:
  • 1.) Go to options
  • 2.) Find 'Gamma' settings
  • 3.) Turn the gamma all the way down
  • 4.) Go back to the main menu
  • 5.) Select either 'Continue' or 'New Game'


Instead of the regular game, you will be transported to a dirt road, next to a car.

You will get the achievement right away, without finishing the mode. I would advise playing through this mode though, it serves as a kind of prelude to the main game.


Controls:
E - get in or out of the car
W A S D - move around, steer the car
C - cruise control: press C while driving and the car will drive forward on its own. It will kind of follow a rough "track", so it might get stuck in certain spots.

To exit the game mode, hold down the Esc key on your keyboard until it quits.

I completed the game with Nightmare ending first and got access to the Gallery.

A new nightmare can be achieved by completing the game once then loading and completing the final sequence again. I wanted to get other endings and got 'A new nightmare'.

Thank you for taking the time to put together this guide. It is very well made and thought out especially for an indie game such as this. Did my first play through blind, but when I looked at achievements I had no idea about dark mode or gallery. This took some effort to make and I appreciate this.

@oppe99 Underrated comment. Thank you.

I got the same thing, Shorts - must be a bug. Not my first one playing this game, either! Immediately went to NG+2, too, so I'm in for a rough ride if I ever continue, lol.
shorts 3 Jan, 2021 @ 5:12am 
so I accidentally got the ng+ achievement but I didn't even play it, after doing the good ending I pressed continue to see the bad end and it gave me the achievement when I went up the ladder was this a bug?

Yeah, if you do succesfully kill him, it should teleport you to a tunnel where you can climb back up to the street. No need to go through all of the game.

Its possible to get all the endingrelated achievements without having to complete the game several times (even the new game + one). Just dont use the last saveroom. Save right after killing the sirens and getting the childs skull and go through the rest of the game without saving and going for any of the endings (I did the Nightmare one). When you complete the game just pick continue in the main menu and go for another ending. Second time should also get you the achievement for new game +. Then do it a third time for the last one.
