Full Walkthrough + Achievement Guide

Walkthrough done! Working on adding achievements that aren't part of the story + trophies of cowardice and that you might miss if you follow a walkthrough or you simply did some of the stuff required of you in a different order.

Act 1 Walkthrough
Since the fist Act follows the story of Justin and Kloot almost separately, as in you can't transfer items between them, I was able to split the two paths into two walkthroughs. However, note that there's a small (but significant) part where Justin was able to influence the robot QP-43 in Kloot's current timeline. This is why the "almost" is emphasized here :)



Some extra tips:

How to set up the rabbit trap?
Note the specific type of stick you'll need and how you'd need to assemble the trap - the net with the carrot, and the twig with the vine.

Act 2 Walkthrough

Some extra tips:
1. How to get the fuel for the flamethrower?
You can get it from an abandoned car.

(SPOILER ALERT! If you want to try figure out the solution for yourself, DON'T read on! )
Use the bellows on the abandoned car outside the abandoned robot factory in the future to get fuel. Once the bellows is full, use it on the flamethrower to transfer the fuel over.
Act 3 Walkthrough

Some extra tips:

How to get QP-40 to spill the beans?
The can needs to be used by the right man.

(SPOILER ALERT! If you want to try figure out the solution for yourself, DON'T read on! )
Get Kloot to use the bug spray on QP-40 and then the robot will mention something about being ready to spill the beans to his beloved, Julia. So, you'll want to get Julia to get the robot to start talking.
Achievements that you might miss + Trophies of Cowardice
A work in progress!

You should be able to get most of the achievements simply by following through with the story, but there are some that you might miss depending on when you approach a character and what you did.

Here are the few that I've found that I reckon you might miss:

Trophies - Not an achievement!
You can get a chicken trophy by walking away from the portal while playing as Justin at the very beginning of the game.

You can also get another trophy by walking into the hospital in the future and walking right back out.

When you enter the robot factory, exit the factory immediately and make sure you don’t press the red button to get a trophy.

In the cave underground in the last act, click on the banana peel on the edge of the cliff.

Power-Up: Troll-slayer
While at the Office, click on the laptop with the bunch of green text on them. Choose the North (N) option and then proceed to slay the troll.

Power-Up: Slayer of the Egg-Layer
Once you're done with the Troll-Slayer achievement, don't pick up the broken mirror. Instead, head West (W). Talk to the chicken and you'll have a sudden realization that you're a player. This will then get you this achievement.

Power-Up: Bully-Buster
Very important: Make sure to do this before helping Justin's cavefolk ancestor!!!

Head to the All-is-Well Playground and ring the bell to start the bike race. If you do this before helping Justin's cavefolk ancestor, you'll be able to get to this achievement. You won't be able to get this achievement if you help the ancestor first, however.

Power-Up: Snot Popper
This one's easy and can be done at any time. Simply pop the snot bubble on the sleeping cavefolk at the cavefolk daycare at least 3 times (in a row) to get this.

Power-Up: Zen Master
Go to the Willow in the Past and head to A Place in the Shade among the hedges. Here, you can choose how long to meditate. To get this achievement, you'll need to pick the 10-minute option.

However, be prepared: you actually will have to stick with it for 10 minutes. Best go grab a cuppa or something :) For me, I took a power nap... haha.

Power-Up: Dodo Disturber
Make sure not to put the rock in the hole near to the dodo if you want to get this achievement. Do everything you'll usually do to get produce the loud noise to get the dodo to hide its head in the hole. If the rock isn't there, you should get this achievement.

Analysis Dodger
During your session with the psychotherapist, when he asked you to lie down on the divan, refused and choose to stand to get this achievement.

Sushi Delivery!
Save sushi in the final act. All you need to do is to get Julia to pour some water down the sink and get Justin to catch the water in the fishbowl. Place Sushi in the fishbowl and you'll get the achievement.

Box Mode!
(WIP) I suspect you need to get all the Trophies of Cowardice in a single playthrough to get this achievement.

Unfortunately, "Box Mode" is a buyable achievement:

Where did they put the edit button? I was going to add that bamboo is treated like a big straw in some other games and that's why I tried it.

It would appear the bamboo also works (for the fuel). At least dialogue says so.

Yes, you're right. If I recall correctly, the banana peel in the last act can be picked up by both Julie and Justin (eventually).

By the way, it's possible to acquire two banana peel trophies in one playthrough, as both Justin and Julia can get one (as opposed to the other three which only Justin can get)

To be honest, I've gotten stuck many times too while I was playing the game through for the first time as well. Some parts took me hours to figure out. Funnily enough, it's usually something simple that I've completely overlooked.
