I was very confused upon playing the game and yet I decided not to give up on it. I have completed all achievements and obtained the 'good' ending by doing exactly what's in this guide. I believe achievements are unlocked as the story goes on, regardless of choice (correct me if I'm wrong).

In Always Sometimes Monsters every decision you make and every dialogue you choose, will affect your outcome and could lead to a different ending.

Constructive criticism is welcomed! Feel free to comment in the section below. If you don't like this guide, there are plenty out there that might fit your style.

PS: Contains spoilers.
PSS: This guide contains some locations for Indie Heroz Figures. I did not collect all of them and I doubt it makes any difference if you collect any. I included the ones I stumbled upon and the ones suggested by other players.

Additional Tips:

• Always save your game as there will be times when you will be stuck or you did something different than the guide and might need to backtrack your way. Make use of the many save slots if you are not sure you did something as described in the guide. I am not responsible for how you play the game, even if you are following this guide.
