Overview
This guide is to help you explore the in-game awards and their matching Steam achievements. Just a heads-up: the names of the in-game awards and Steam achievements don't always match, which can be a bit confusing.

Don’t be concerned when the achievements aren’t popping up right away—they don't unlock until the end of the game.

Let me know if you have any questions!
Steam Exclusive Achievements
The Detective Steam achievement can be achieved by selecting Junior Detective at the start of the game and completing the game.

The Super Sleuth Steam achievement can be achieved by selecting Senior Detective at the start of the game and completing the game.
All School Champ (Memory Master)
Keeping the Double Take high score

Finish the game with the high score in Double Take. Double Take can be found on the computer in the library under the "Student Life" section. The icon to the game will be in the top right corner.

Tip: This is easiest to achieve late in the game, after Izzy's term paper has been deleted from her computer. You will need to beat a time of 2 minutes and 43 seconds.

Note: This award corresponds with the Memory Master Steam achievement.
Bibliophile
For your love of book titles

Perform at least 15 searches on the library computer’s catalog search engine. The searches don’t need to be successful; just complete 15 searches in total.

Note: This award corresponds with the Bibliophile Steam achievement.
Credit Conqueror (Teacher's Pet)
Earn at least 10 credits throughout the game.

Ways to earn credits:

Demerit Danger (Troublemaker)
For disregarding the rules

Earn at least 20 demerits throughout the game. This refers to the total number of demerits you’ve earned during the game, not your final demerit standing.

Be careful: You will be expelled if your demerit standing reaches +15 at any time. To avoid expulsion, earn at least 6 credits to counterbalance the demerits.

Ways to earn demerits:
  • Make a snack order for a faculty member too slowly (1 demerit)
  • Knock repeatedly on someone's door after 11 PM (2 demerits)

At the end of the game, you will see a trivia question just before the in-game awards and credits. Provide the correct response to the question.
