Recently finished the game, so I thought of making an achievement guide in case anyone wants one, before I forget how to get those achievements and have to dive into the code again lmao. Lemme know if improvements are needed!

Spoilers ahead, so I recommend trying for these achievements only if you've finished the game!

Dying: lower your health by getting into dangerous situations (threatening Jerry, choosing a scalpel or blowtorch in Chapter 6, protecting your client in Chapter 7), then get yourself shot in Chapter 9

Great Expectations: Chapter 5: make Chalidah suspicious of you or be corrupt, then take the emergency call from your ex. When you get the message from your ex, choose "How can you even ask that? [They're] my kid too."

Lone Wolf: don't be helpful or friendly to anyone, especially your ex. Go out of your way to be hostile if needed. Don't get shot. Towards the end in Chapter 10, choose "All I want is to be alone." or "There is no-one in the world I care about. Not that much. Not really." If you did this right, all the options to talk to other people should be greyed out.

The Kindness of Strangers:
  • Chapter 1: have a low relationship with Torvald ("Torvald is useful, but I find his love for his image distasteful.")
  • Chapter 1: give all your money to Jerry
  • Chapter 3: be friendly to Carol or Doug and spend your money on VE (trying it and going for another round). They will offer to pay, but you will owe them money. Finish the chapter

Nobody:
The trickiest achievement... You're a nobody and work as Eugenie's lackey, not a PI anymore. The specific requirements are:
  • Keep your PI business level low (being corrupt/selfish, not doing your job, failing the case by getting the missing activist to not trust you)
  • Side with Eugenie. Don't betray her or pretend to join her, BUT don't raise her relationship too high either
  • Let the anti-VE campaigners win

What do you have to do?
  • Join Eugenie (without lying/bait)
  • Side with the ethocampaign when you can. Don't side with Chalidah/pro-VE activists
  • When Eugenie asks about your reward, choose "campaign"
  • Chapter 5: Don't save Mike
  • Chapter 7: Refuse to make a speech for Eugenie
  • Chapter 8: When offered the chance to see the missing person, pick selfish options ("Myself.", "No, but I'm not going to admit that.", "[They're] fine. No thanks to you, though. You hurt [them].")
  • Chapter 9: Don't get shot
  • Chapter 10: Speak to the press and promote yourself, then choose "I've had enough of the spotlight. Go back to being a nobody."

For the Nobody achievement, there may be other ways to reach it like having low deception, having debt, betraying Chalidah, and/or making a neutral speech for Eugenie (so as to keep her relationship low).
