Achievement Guide (WIP)
By Arion
It's still a work in progress but I'm determined to figure out how to get all the achievements in this game because I love playing it so. Hope this helps you too! If you've got intel on how to get the rest of the achievements, the comment section is just down below! ;)

Chapter 1: Day 1
1. Not a Missus
When you talk to Esther for the first time, she will ask you to not call her Missus. By calling her Esther instead, you'll get this achievement.

2. The Real VIP
Speak with Ida about the items in her room and asking about the bear. (Thanks Carithlee!)

3. The Goat
Visit Esther in her room on Day One while she's doing her crossword. Ask her what she meant about the goat earlier, then drop the subject. You don't get the achievement if you keep asking. (Thanks Amwald!)
Chapter 2: Day 2
1. The Cleaner
Help Joe box up Mr Falk's belongings. Note that you can sneak his crest into your bag and give it to Mr Falk's friend (I'm not sure if you can choose other characters but I gave it to Ida). You'll need to run into Joe for him to give you this task though. I met him at the Lower Floor elevator at around 12:10 pm.

2. Framed!
You'll need to enter Dr Shen and your mum's shared office to get this one. Dr Shen has to be the only one there (?). For me, I found her alone in the office at around 2:40 pm. When Casey talks about her mum having a photo of her on her mum's desk, I followed that comment up with "It's from ages ago". I got the achievement during this conversation.

3. Vial or Vile?
Hang out with Mr. Pruess in the lounge around 5PM on Day 2. Change the record for him when he asks. (Thanks Amwald!)

4. Rules Of The Game
During lunch on Day 2, Mr. Avery goes to eavesdrop on Dr. Bouchard and Mr. Pruess. Sit with him and ask him how to play chess. (Thanks Amwald!)

5. Fruit Secrets
Hang out with Mr. Avery on Day 2 around 2PM. As he writes, he'll mutter something about a pineapple eventually, triggering the achievement. (Thanks Amwald!)
Chapter 3: Day 3
1. Media Mogul
[Untested] In the morning (around 8:30 am until around 8:50 am), Ted will read the newspaper to Mr Pruess in the Dining Area. Make sure you are there for all three days' worth of reading to get this achievement. / This achievement might also be linked to the TV Room. Haven't seen a time when there are people in there yet though!



2. Daredevil
If you follow Ted when he says he has a secret to show you, you should have unlocked the old section of the airship. If you revisit the place at around 11 am, Ted should be having his lunch and will be sitting on the edge of the gap in this section of the airship. Join him there and you'll get this achievement.

3. Vile or Vial?
Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me remember how I got this.

4. Creature of Habit
Make sure you order the same type of soup for all three days to get this achievement.



5. On the Beat
You'll need to secure an interview with Dr Shen for this one. Once the appointment time comes around (3pm), make sure to be near the Nurses' Station and follow Dr Shen from the station to her office right after (note that Ted will ask you to go with him; you can't). Conduct the interview and you'll get this achievement.

6. Full Up
Try to refilling Tomi's watering can on day 3. It was already full. (Thanks Carithlee!)

7. Hair of the Herr
[Bug?] I'm pretty positive you should get this if you help Mr Pruess tidy up his hair by getting him his mirror and comb. You can spot him by the piano in the Dining Area, waiting, at around 11:30 am. Make sure to keep him company to trigger the option to help him.

8. Bourguignon
If you're around the dumbwaiter in the dining area around 11-11:30 on day 3, you'll hear Devin say that he finished the beef for the VIP. If you ask him about it, you can have the beef instead, which pops the achievement. (Thanks Carithlee!)

9. Student Becomes The Teacher
Visit Mr. Avery on day 3 around 4PM (I went after meeting with Dr. Shen). Wait around until he questions his writing motivations and encourage him by saying he could reach a new audience. (Thanks Brigadier_BunBun!)

Not sure if this is still being worked on, but you can "Student Becomes The Teacher" by visiting Mr. Avery on day 3 around 4PM (I went after meeting with Dr. Shen). Wait around until he questions his writing motivations and encourage him by saying he could reach a new audience.

Oh and Vile or Vial: hang out with Mr. Pruess in the lounge around 5PM on Day 2. Change the record for him when he asks.

Rules Of The Game: During lunch on Day 2, Mr. Avery goes to eavesdrop on Dr. Bouchard and Mr. Pruess. Sit with him and ask him how to play chess.

The "Bourguignon" achievement, if you're around the dumbwaiter in the dining area around 11-11:30 on day 3, you'll hear Devin say that he finished the beef for the VIP. If you ask him about it, you can have the beef instead, which pops the achievement.

I got "The Real VIP" achievement by speaking with Ida about the items in her room and asking about the bear.

I got the "Full Up"achievement by trying to refill Tomi's watering can on day 3. It was already full.
