Blown up
After the boss offers the promotion, ask for some time to think, and take his photo [Blown up achievemnent]. Go to wasteland, and follow the green leaves, you'll meet the orb you've met before. Follow it to the entrance of the tower. Enter the elevator, and, if you have killed the mouse, you'll get exploded.

After you used the bone with sap to lure the mouse, talk to it. After this conversation, you can choose to take the photo or free it. For this achievement, choose to free the mouse.

Interdimensional
After the boss offers the promotion, ask for some time to think, and take his photo [Blown up achievemnent]. Go to wasteland, and follow the green leaves, you'll meet the orb you've met before. Follow it to the entrance of the tower. Enter the elevator, and, if you spared the life mouse, you'll go through the portal.

La divina commedia
To get this achievement, you have to take all nine photos (see Best Employee achievement), but keep in mind I spared the life of the mouse, and didn't tell boss about the oracle in wasteland (I don't know if these are mandatory). When you enter boss's room, examine your golden statue. It will have a coin in one of the hands. Use scythe on statue to get coin, and throw it in well to get hemp hearts. When boss offers you to be the new boss, ask for some time to think, and use camera on boss. Now exit room, and follow green track until you reach the tower, enter and talk to oracle, and finally travel to the otherside. You will be in a colorful room, and there will be a hamster in a cage to the right of the screen. Use hemp hearts on hamster (its name is Dante), the game will end and you will get your achievement.
