An achievement guide you can follow as you play the game. Step by Step for each achievement.
Welcome!
There are a total of 37 achievements which require you to find random collectibles, documents, turning on televisions and radios. You should only require 1 play-through but don’t worry if you missed anything, the game is very forgiving on their chapter select, unlike some games *cough*The Quarry*cough*. So you wont need to replay from that certain chapter where you missed the collectible all the way back to the end. Once you grab it, you can just quit and go to another chapter.
A casual run through this game while following this guide will take you about 4-5 hours.
This guide is best followed in order as to not miss anything. I tried to keep it as spoiler free as possible for people who like to enjoy the stories in games and I ask that you do the same with the comments.
