Introduction
This guide aims to guide you through the two achievements for getting both the highest and lowest score possible at the end of the game. This guide won't cover any other achievements specifically, though you'll get them by following everything here.

- Genius! - You completed the game with the highest score possible!
- Epic Fail - You completed the game with the lowest score possible!


I've tried to list it in chronological order, but each chapter are rather open-ended, so you may get things in another order.

I've tried to sort each one into three categories:
  • Storyline: You can't miss these.
  • Optional: You should be able to get these if you go back before the end of the chapter. There's no backtracking between chapters though, so they're still technically missable in a full playthrough.
  • Missable: These are very limited and you may miss the opportunity to get these if you progress further in the chapter.

The high score is for getting 750 points. Obviously do everything for this achievement.
The low score is for getting 190 points. Skip all the optional and missable ones. Make sure you don't accidentally select a dialogue choice that gives you points!

I got it before I got the CD, sorry I don't know if it can be done after. I'm sure it can since you can go back in the room.

Thanks. I changed it. Do you know if it can be done before getting the CD? Or only after?

Something to Note: The Relic points don't add up when looking at the CD, but what is surrounding it that does.

Yeah I followed this one and Control Panel failed to unlock for me 4 times:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1248557237

The Game is very frustrating even without such issues. :)

Thanks. I wasn't even aware that there was another walkthrough for the game.
Ullandon 14 May, 2022 @ 10:29am 
The problem is that the 2nd puzzle can be solved in more then one way: You need to select upper right, upper left, lower left like in the linked walkthrough. The spanish walkthrough on steam says: upper right, middle left, middle right which also allows to progress but does not give the achievement.

Thanks. I have earned the "Control Panel" achievement.
Yes, this achievement is awarded for using the alien machine. I got it when I entered the second code.
I don't know why it was not given on the first playthrough. The only thing that I did additionally during the replay was transferred the disk from Takhi to Beth and looked at all the items in the inventory.

i honestly don't remember anymore since it's been so long, but i think it's this part where you use the alien machine

Thanks for the great guide!
I can't figure out how to get the "Control Panel" achievement.
Can you tell me what I'm missing?
