This guide will discuss how to reach all achievements. This will include the location of all keys, the location of the voicemails and letters, and the conditions of each event.
Introduction
General Tips
- Some events are not decisions until a previous choice is made. For example, Tom cannot turn down Miranda at the party if he made the choice to text her earlier, whereas if he never texted it her, it becomes a decision. If you’re not paying close attention, this can really trip you when don’t notice that a scene was rewritten off camera.
- You don’t have to watch a scene more than once. If you want to change an event, you can do that on the time map itself. This is a massive time saver for experimenting.
- If you’re hunting for specific scenes or changes, give yourself only one independent variable and only change one decision at a time. Changing too much at once can make noticing the line of casualty difficult.
- By clicking on the character icons at the top of the visualizer, you can narrow down the time line to just the events that those specific characters are in. This also works for specific groups. For example, if you can’t remember the name of the scene where Tom and Linda have the choice that decided her ending, but you do remember that only the two of them are in it, you can use that to narrow the time line down to a handful of options.
- All choices have already played out by the time you get there and they have all default outcomes. To use A Terrible Choice as an example, where Jenny has to choose whether or not to leave a sleeping Ben to die, the default outcome is for her to stay and die, and her leaving is the alternative.
- If you have problems reading any of the letters lying around, you can use the R key to show a transcript in a neater font.
Game Progress
There are four locked rooms when the game starts: Raquel’s bedroom, the back garden, the dark room, and the hidden room. In order to unlock them all:
Raquel’s Bedroom: The key is in Jenny’s nightstand drawer. It’s pointed out in event 009 (Thin Walls), which is always available, but it’s available as soon as the game starts.
Backyard: In Event 27 (This Weekend?), when Tom and Linda talk in the kitchen, they reveal that the backyard key is on that scary little wooden doll on the kitchen shelf. You do need to witness the scene to examine the hiding spot.
Dark Room: The combination for the locked dark room is in Ben and Jenny’s bedroom after a certain choice (Borrow a Camera?). If Raquel lends Jenny her camera, then a crumpled note with the code will appear in Ben and Jenny’s bedroom wastebasket. There will be a scene that points this out, where Jenny is talking on the phone in her bedroom (Bust Any Ghosts?) where she throws a note with the code in the wastepaper basket.
Hidden Room: Tom’s desk drawer, in a cigar box. To find this, you need to have Raquel follow Tom down the stairs (Late Night Smoke). Then, in Disapearing Act, have Tim distrust Raquel. During Singing in the Shower, have Raquel search his room for the key. In the next event, Keys to the Secret, she’ll search the room and find the hiding spot.
In addition to saving all six housemates, there’s one more hoop to jump through for the game’s ultimate ending. There’s something important in the hidden room’s safe. After unlocking all rooms, as outlined above, take the keys from the dark room table with the cannabis plants. Then, head to the dark room and unlock the filing cabinet by the door. This will give you the code to the safe on the back wall of the dark room, which will be a weird temporal device. When you cross the finish line and save all six people, having the device will allow you to return to the future. You will be asked head to Linda’s room, where the game will conclude and hand you the achievement.

Righter of Wrongs
Rescue any one person. You’ll get it sooner or later, but the easiest one is to change Jenny’s last choice and have her leave Ben.
This can be unlocked the same way as Righter of Wrongs, but there’s multiple valid combinations. The conditions where each individual person lives is as follows:
- Linda and Neil have similar conditions for surviving: they either have to be awake at the time of the fire (Linda moves out and Neil either argues with Linda, after she sleeps with Tom, in his room or chooses to play games) or one of them has to be awake while the other is asleep, but not drunk (Linda moves back in while Neil is awake, or Neil heads to bed after calling his mother and Linda moves out). If both are asleep, then both of them will die.
- For Ben and Jenny, either reveal the pregnancy at the last possible point so that they’re both awake, or have an argument on the final night, followed up with Jenny spending the night with Raquel while Ben heads to the pub with Tom.
- Raquel either has to completely deal with her personal trauma (same conditions as ideal ending), spend the night with Tom (complete both of their ideal paths), or spend the night with Jenny
- Tom either heads to the pub with Ben or goes out with Raquel. There is no ending where he lives that does not require a second character.
Righter of Wrongs
Solve everyone’s emotional issues with everyone alive. When a person has a green heart with a check mark, they’ve reached their best outcome.
There are multiple feasible paths, so let’s start with the bare bones requirements for each person’s best outcomes.
- Ben and Jenny: Do NOT reveal Jenny’s pregnancy before the absolute final moment in Final Confession. When you reach that point, reveal the pregnancy.
- Raquel and Tom: Both of them need to completely deal with their baggage (Raquel lets go of Megan in Alas Poor Megan, Weasel is dealt with) in addition to the two of them heading out in Shall We See Your Mum?
- Neil and Linda: This one’s a little weird. Linda’s best ending, where she improves her relationship with her husband and moves back with him, will make sure she’s asleep during the fire, so Neil needs to be awake after dealing with his baggage, which requires Linda to have slept with Tom and to tell Neil after Secrets and Lies
Now, let’s synthesize all that information and make a path of decisions to make. Mind you, it’s possible for an event to occur in multiple ways (Tom not sleeping with Miranda has three possible set ups), so you might get the same results with different decisions. If I don’t mention a choice, it either doesn’t affect the ending (Jenny can go off her meds if she likes, as long as she reveals the pregnancy in Final Confession) or does not occur in that timeline. Do you what you think is best for those choices.

Each of the six characters has a cell phone, and they have a tendency to move around based on the current timeline. For example, Linda’s will move from her suitcase to her armchair to her bed based on current events. Additionally, the text messages and voicemails they receive change. In Tom’s case, his default message is threatening texts from Miranda. If he breaks off the relationship, then it’s a threatening voicemail from Weasel. If that’s dealt with, it’s a text from a loan application bot. If Tom has his ideal ending, then it’s texts from his mother. It should be noted that we’re finding the phones in the present, so it’s possible for some events to overwrite the voicemail with more recent messages.
For this achievement, we need to track down the voicemail that each character receives.

Turn down his parent’s job offer. By default, Ben’s phone displays chatter with a doctor coworker. If he turns down the job offer, he’ll receive a voicemail from his mother. If he and Jenny have a fight over the other job offer on the night of the fire, it will be overwritten with distraught texts to Jenny. If he and Jenny stayed together, his phone should be by his desk. If they fought (fighting over the pills does NOT overwrite the voicemail), it will be by the living room couch.
Jenny:
If Jenny and Ben have a fight on the night of the fire (either over her meds or the job offer), she’ll have a voicemail from her mother. Jenny’s default message is a doctor’s appointment. To my knowledge, she has no other messages, although it’s very well possible she has an esoteric one I’ve missed. Her phone is on the couch in their bedroom.
Tom:
If Tom breaks up with Miranda and does NOT deal with Weasel, he’ll receive a threatening voicemail. If he does not break up with Miranda, he’ll have a text argument with her. If he deals with Weasel, but does not meet his mother with Raquel, he’ll have a text with a loan application. If he meets with his mother, the text will be from her. If Tom dies, then his phone will be by the bloodstain at the basement stairs. If he lives, it’s in his bedroom, by the armchair.
Raquel:
Reach the root of her trauma with Megan (Linda asks about the doll, Raquel tells Keigan the doll’s name, Linda tells Jenny about the doll, and Raquel decides to give the doll away) and she’ll get a call from Megan’s mother. The specific choice that spawns the call is giving up Megan. Additionally, she must not visit Tom’s mother that night, as that will overwrite the voice mail with texts from Tom’s mother. Raquel’s phone at voicemail conditions is on the left side of her bed on her nightstand
Linda:
Her voicemail, from her husband, has the same conditions as her ideal ending: choose to move back with her husband while asserting her needs. It will appear on her bedroom armchair. If she does nothing, it will be an awkward conversation with her son. If she decides to move out, it will be a flat listing. Linda’s voicemail phone is typically on her bedroom armchair, but if she went to wake up Neil during the fire, it would be on the floor outside his door
Neil:
Have Neil admit his anger issues and he’ll receive a phone call from a doctor. If Neil does not admit his anger issues, then he’ll have messages from Em. If Tom forces Neil to move out, it will be overridden by Neil flat hunting. His phone will be under his pillow by his nightstand.
I’m not exactly certain as to what the game considers a letter, but my hunch is that it’s any document you can use the R key to read a transcript of. My justification is that I got the achievement when I found the flower receipt in Raquel’s purse, but before I found the anger issues brochure. Just in case, I’ll include as many things as I can. Some items can only be found after certain decisions are made,

Ambergate Sports Hall Flyer:
Hall, on the cork board by the backyard door. I believe it only appears if Neil went drinking in Liscence to Drink and admitted he has anger issues in Friday Night Fallout. Ben mentions trying the sports hall after the bike is stolen from Neil.

Linda’s Son’s Report Card:
Now this one is tricky. If Linda is returning to her husband, then she’s packed up her belongings. If she’s not, then they’re spread throughout the room. This means that the report card will be in her left nightstand ONLY if she chooses to look for another place to live.

Postcard From Ian:
Neil’s Room, on the inside of his left wardrobe door. Since this is the door that Neil tears off, it will not be visible if Neil heads to his room after Washing Dirty Laundry
