How to Switch Games
In case it isn't immediately obvious, because it wasn't to me, you can switch which game you're playing at the main menu. To the bottom right will be a small button that looks a lot like a banner to buy 7PM (which is what I thought it was.) Clicking this is how you rotate games.

━━Third Eye Open━━
Chapter 1: The New House
Moving In Start at the beginning...
Story related. This will unlock after talking to Xiu in the intro section.



Chasing Birds It's fun to chase pigeons
Continue through the chapter for a bit until you're tasked with delivering 3 fliers to your neighbors. Once outside, you can find a woman in a yellow shirt watering her plants. Across the street from her is a group of pigeons hanging out on the grass. The achievement will unlock after you chase about 5 of them away.












Chapter 1 The first step in a long journey.
Story related. This will unlock after talking to your mother in your room to close out the chapter.
Chapter 2: In the Forest
Meat Skewers Assembling meat skewers.
Seafood Skewers Assembling seafood skewers.
Story related. After fetching all of the kids for dinner, you'll be given a choice on whether you want to make meat or fish skewers. Each choice correlates to their respective achievement. If you want to get both achievements in one playthrough, you can choose to keep cooking after making your first set. (I need someone to confirm this. I alt+f4'd to get both like a goof.)



Chapter 2 A night in the woods.
Story related. This will unlock after discovering all 3 clues about the missing student and talking with the ghost woman in the forest.
Chapter 3: New Friends
Chapter 3 A Mystery at Preschool.
Story related. This will unlock after speaking to Nelson by the pool.
Chapter 4: The Old House
If you missed the "Chasing Birds" achievement in Chapter 1, you'll have another chance to do it after heading outside with your friends to get ice cream.


Getaway Run from the man in the house.
Perfect Getaway Never get caught by the man in the house.
During the haunted house section, you will eventually try to approach the window on the 2nd floor after saving your two friends. In doing so, you will be attacked by the man in the house and a QTE chase scene will start. Getaway is story related and can't be missed, but Perfect Getaway requires you to complete the QTE section without failing. It's pretty hard to make a mistake, but if you do, you should be able to back out to the main menu and try again (needs confirmation).

If you want to know the QTE prompts ahead of time, they are always:
E, spacebar, left click x3, A, E



Chapter 4 Escaping Danger at the Old House.
Story related. This will unlock after the encounter with the ghost girl in the alley.
Chapter 5: Memories
Chapter 5 Reminders and Memories.
Story related. This will unlock shortly after speaking with the doctor.
Chapter 6: The Calm Before
Chapter 6 A time to be still with friends.
Story related. This will unlock after the origami fortune reading.
Chapter 7: A New School
Chapter 7 Growing up, waking up.
Story related. This will unlock shortly after encountering the ghost in the school bathroom.
Chapter 8: The Show
Evasion Never get caught during the show.
Perfect Evasion Never get seen during the show.
These two are the trickiest achievements in the game, simply because it's a little easy to accidentally walk into the man in the house, but that's not really saying much as they're still very easy to earn.

In order to earn these, you need to complete the ENTIRE haunted house section without ever getting seen, caught, or failing a QTE. It sounds tricky, but it's really not. I recommend always checking doorways before walking through them. Try to always know where the man in the house is by looking for him or his red glow. If at any point you accidentally mess up, you can quit to the main menu and continue from the last checkpoint. Below is the full list of steps to take. They won't be spoiler tagged, so people who need/want the steps can see them, but I recommend reading at your own discretion, as it basically explains how to do the entire chapter. If you don't want that info, I suggest skipping ahead in the guide.

  • After entering the haunted house, talk with the female ghost, then head upstairs.
  • Once upstairs, go right and enter the first doorway on your left. Talk with the male ghost inside, who will tell you to find his mother.
  • Exit the room and go right. Talk to the female ghost wearing the fancy dress and jewelry. She'll ask you to find the boy with the hammer.
  • Head back towards the staircase, but don't go down yet. Facing away from the stairs, go to the far left wall and interact with the poster on the wall (this is required for an objective.)
  • From the poster, head back a few feet and look on the wall to the left for a wooden board you can interact with. Ting will mention it looking breakable (this is required to spawn the boy in.)
  • Go downstairs and go to the room Mei Lian was trapped in in a previous chapter. Talk with the boy inside.
  • Head back upstairs and talk to the fancy female ghost to receive a key.
  • Go downstairs and unlock the small door to the left of the stairs. Crawl through and talk with the boy.
  • Crawl back through the hole and enter the downstairs bathroom. Interact with the board to break it, head inside, and grab the whiskey.
  • Go back upstairs and head left. Interact with the board Ting mentioned being breakable and she'll smash it. Crawl through, interact with the puppet show stage, and complete the following scene. There's no risk of failure here, so don't worry.
  • After the puppet show, exit the room and follow the man in the house towards the room where the fancy ghost used to be. You won't be able to get by him just yet, so don't try.
  • Instead, walk back towards the staircase and you'll find a spot where you can place the whiskey down.
  • Finally, follow the steps for the achievements below, as they are also required.



Corridor Chase Run from the Puppet's hand.
Perfect Corridor Chase Never get caught by the Puppet's hand.
Near the end of the haunted house section, you will have to interact with the puppet show for a 2nd time. Corridor Chase is story related and can't be missed, but Perfect Corridor Chase requires you to complete the entire next encounter without getting detected, and without failing a QTE.

In the first section, you'll need to hide behind bottles so the giant woman doesn't see you. When she takes a sip, she'll close her eyes. Use this time to move to the next bottle. Take your time and move bottle to bottle. She doesn't keep her eyes closed for long.

Once you reach the far side, you'll pass through a door and enter a long hallway. After walking a few feet, a QTE chase will begin. Complete all the prompts successfully, and the achievement(s) will unlock during the dialogue in the bedroom. If you want to know the QTE prompts ahead of time, they're as follows:
W, D, E, spacebar, spam spacebar until the encounter ends



Chapter 8 A Show in Two Acts.
Story related. This will unlock after the conversation between Ting's parents in their bedroom.
Chapter 9: Life As Is
Chapter 9 Don't forget.
Story related. This will unlock after the conversation between Ting and her mother in the bedroom.
Chapter 10: Crossing Over
Endless Doors Door after door after door.
Story related. After your conversation with the ghost woman in your nightmare, a large set of doors will appear in front of you. Keep going through them.



Avoidance Make it through the maze.
Perfect Avoidance Make it through the maze undetected.
After returning to the haunted house, you'll head upstairs and the lights will eventually go out. After the lights go out, head back out towards the staircase and Xiu will mention something being in the hallway. You're now in the maze and it's filled with enemies. Avoidance is story related and can't be missed, but Perfect Avoidance will require you to escape the area without any of the enemies spotting you. Below is the exact route to take for the achievement(s). It's obviously very spoiler heavy, but I won't spoiler tag the list so it's easier for people who need/want it to read. If you don't want to see it, simply skip over it to the next achievement.

  • Immediately enter the room on your right and you'll spot a bunch of red and yellow doors. Facing the same direction you were as you entered the room, enter the right door.
  • As soon as you emerge, do NOT continue to your right. There is an enemy just off screen that can easily see you. Instead, walk straight up, hugging the left wall, and enter the left door.
  • Once again, don't walk right as soon as you pop out. Walk down, hugging the left wall, until you see a boarded up doorway to your left. Go across the room from where the boards are and enter the door.
  • Walk forwards and enter the door that has crude doodles all over it.
  • In this next room full of boxes, locate the door with the clipboard on it and go through.
  • Next, in the hallway full of bottles, walk straight and you'll see the clipboard door. Don't go in it. Instead, take the stairs to the right of it, then enter the plain wooden door.


Chapter 10 Goodbye.
Story related. This will unlock after leaving the house with Mei Lian.
Chapter 11: The Breaking Point
The Boy in Blue Talk to him before he's taken.
After arriving at the medium's house, you'll fast forward a few days and wake up in a nightmare. Ting will talk with the evil ghost woman. At the very end of her conversation will be an EXTREMELY fast QTE. Hitting it will allow you to talk to the boy outside and earn this achievement. I recommend spamming left click as you go through the dialogue so you don't miss it.



The Girl in Pink Go towards her down the passage.
The Boy in Orange Go towards him at the end of the hall.
Story related. After the previous conversation, you'll be tasked with exploring the nightmare hallway. Walk forward a few feet and the path will split left and right. Which direction you choose will determine what achievement you get. The boy in orange is to the left, and the girl in pink is to the right. You'll need to replay the chapter to earn both achievements.



Leave I'm not like one of your Puppets.
Push Take the Help offered.
Story related. Towards the end of Chapter 11, you'll be given a choice that I won't spoil here. Each of these achievements corresponds with what choice you make. In order to earn the opposite achievement, you'll need to replay the chapter.



A Life of Healing A Gift for the Girl on the Other Side.
A Tragic Act of Hate Just One of Your Puppets...
Story related. These are the two endings of the game. Which one you get depends on the choice you made near the end of the chapter.



Chapter 11 Ask for My Help.
Story related. This will unlock during the end credits.
━━7PM━━
Wen's Section
A moment of silence Respect for the "departed".
After the intro scenes, Aunty Fung will ask you to fetch her some water and you'll take control of Wen. Head to the top of the screen and enter the alley with all of the lit candles. Interact with the shrine and stand still until the achievement unlocks.



I said LEAVE ME ALONE! I just wanted to apologize...
In the same alley, talk with the man by the fire and go through his mini-game and dialogue. Afterwards, interact with him 4 more times.



CaNdY!?!? Talking to strange kids who have a sweet-tooth isn't good for your health.
After speaking with the man above, your screen will flicker and a boy will spawn in near the "Give me candy" graffiti. He'll stop you as you leave the alley. Finish talking with him for the achievement.


Like you've seen a ghost. Having a supernatural experience can be stressful sometimes...wanna talk about it?
After your interaction with the ghost boy above, talk to Aunty Fung again.



Nasi Lemak is Love. Help pack nasi lemak, while secretly wanting the recipe.
Head to the top left of the screen and talk to the woman in purple. She'll ask you to help her make Nasi Lemak. Accept her offer. Simply follow the on-screen instructions and pack 3 orders.



Kepochi Why la? ... I just want to play card games!
After the previous achievement, go into the stairwell and head up to the 2nd floor. Talk to the boys playing a card game between 2 doors.



Fear of heights. I wonder what's past all that junk...
Head back to the stairwell and go up as far as you can, then press up against the stacked furniture.



Lucky Guess or Mad Skills? That's what card games are about too.
Head back down to the courtyard and talk to Lun (kid in the orange shirt). Ask him about the card, then beat him in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to win it from him. Make sure you give the card back to the kids on the 2nd floor. It's important for another achievement.



Tak nak! Throwing pebbles is vandalism, I'm no criminal!
Knock knock. I am doing the right thing, right?
If you haven't already, talk to Lun and he'll ask you to find pebbles for him to throw at the new kid's window. All 3 can be found around the courtyard and are extremely easy to spot. Once you have them, talk to Lun again, but don't give him the pebbles to unlock Tak Nak! Afterwards, give them to him to unlock Knock Knock.



Too much free time(?) I just want to know more about the neighbourhood.
This will unlock after chucking the pebbles at the new kids window, if you did all of the achievements above.



Stranger Danger! Never listen to a stranger's advice.
Head up to the 1st floor and interact with the first door you come across, then talk to the man smoking a cigarette at the far left end of the hallway.



Weird Daydream... Wait....did you see that too??
What. Just. HAPPENED?? I just wanted to make a new friend ... Not ... THIS!!!
After grabbing Aunty Fung's water bottle from her house on the 1st floor, exit back out into the hallway and you'll notice the door to your right is now open. Interact with it and a chase scene will trigger. What. Just. HAPPENED?? will unlock for completing the QTEs to escape. For Weird Daydream..., simply don't press anything and fail the QTEs. You will need to replay the game to unlock both achievements.



JUST STOP AND LISTEN TO ME! Lun, I need you to FOCUS!
Am I crazy? Getting our story straight.
You now need to return to the courtyard, talk to 3 people, and choose very specific dialogue choices. Do them in the following order:
  • Talk to Ming (boy in the blue shirt) and tell him something weird happened.
  • Next, talk to Aunty Fung. Tell her it's not the boys causing trouble, then tell her you spoke to the Uncle in the alley.
  • Finally, talk to Lun (orange shirt) and tell him to listen to you.
Lun's Section
I need to get in. Sure, breaking and entering isn't good, but technically lock-picking isn't breaking anything...
I don't need to get in THAT bad. Lock-Picking sounds cool... however ... thanks-but-no-thanks
Head up to the 1st floor and talk to the man smoking a cigarette and you'll be given a dialogue choice. If you choose to take the lockpicks, I need to get in will unlock. If you refuse, I don't need to get in THAT bad will unlock. You will need to play the game twice to unlock both achievements.



Didn't I just ...? I feel like the universe is telling me something... about FREE TOYS?
If you choose to not take the lockpicks, Ting will speak to you. Tell her she's wasting your time, then try to walk to the staircase 3 times.
Ming's Section
Goodbye... What you find out can't hurt you ... but it can scare you pretty bad...
Head up to the 3rd floor and interact with the door where the woman is standing.
