There are 24 Steam Achievements, all documented in the walkthrough below.

Act 1

A Camp Full of Rats

Look in the empty suitcase of your inventory, then feel around and use the oil lamp. After meeting Rod, open the oven and take the pot lid and notebook. Pull back the rumpled bedsheet to reveal a sharp protruding bedspring. Try to open the wardrobe but it is locked, so head outside. Try to use the notebook on the burning drum Farenheit 451. Talk to the homeless man, then try to search his shopping cart. Put your pot lid on the burning drum, then search the shopping cart to get a credit card. Head back into the trailer and use the credit card to open the wardrobe. Take the bottle of whiskey and pillow case from inside. Tear the pillowcase on the protruding bedspring to make some bandages, then use these with the bottle of whiskey, then use them on the old shoes in the wardrobe.

Go outside and walk down to find a crossroads, then go right towards the huge rubbish pile. Talk to the girl in white, but you will need money to get inside to talk to her more. Return to the crossroads and head left. Talk to the solitary inhabitant, then enter the brick building and talk to the Hunter and the bartender. Pick up the empty beer cans from the bar before leaving. Go to the crossroads again and this time head up towards the gate. Talk to the gate sentries, who won't let you leave. Walk slightly left and enter the building up on the ledge. Talk to the woman inside, who turns about to be Misha. Look at the overturned drawer on the floor, then try to pick up the pack of cigarettes.

Head out through the doorway to the left and speak to the boys. Use the empty beer cans on the boys and you will set them up above their target. Talk to the boys again, who agree to help you. Return inside to the right and steal the pack of cigarettes from the floor. Head out to the right and you will see a vision (1/3). Go back to the crossroads, then left and into the Hunter's bar. Give the pack of cigarettes and bottle of whiskey to the bartender and you will receive a food package.

Return to Rod's trailer and go inside. Try to use the food package on the oven Soylent Green. Go back to Misha and give her the food package in exchange for her bracelet. Go out to the gate and show the bracelet to the gate sentries, then go through the gate towards the city Logan's Run.

Act 2

Doomsday City

Talk to the old man and the city dwellers. Enter the church and pick up the glass shards from the ground on the left. Try to push over the sculpture on the right, but it is too heavy. Leave the church again and take an exit towards the right. Try to lift the manhole cover, but you can't get an adequate grip. Look at the entrance to the medical center, then try to go inside through the barrier. Next look at the gate on the right and at the damp soil in front of it. Use your glass shards on the damp soil, but they aren't big enough to be useful. Take the plank with message from the nearby tree trunk and you will also get some nails.

Return to the inside of the church and use your plank on the sculpture to position it as a lever. Use the lever to topple the statue, then pick up the thick jagged piece of glass (you will discard the smaller ones). Leave the church and go right, then use the thick jagged piece of glass in the damp soil. Crawl beneath the gate and head right into the park. Pick up the crowbar and then the rope. Try to use the crowbar on the suicide victims hanging from the trees Island of the Damned / Who can kill a child?. Return left out of the park, then continue left. Use the crowbar to remove the subway sign from the wall. Enter the church and try to use the subway sign on Reverend Blake God Told Me To. Leave the church again and head down out of the city.

Head down to the crossroads and go right. Try to use the rope on the generator Westworld. Return to the gate and approach the tree on the other side to the left. Use the rope on the burnt tree, then use the burnt tree to climb down into the water. Search the hewn stones to get a carved stone. Climb back out and return through the gate to the crossroads. Go down and use your crowbar on the car door to pry it open. Remove the seat cover from the driver's seat and you will also get an elastic band. Go back to the crossroads, then head to the city.

Take the poster from the wall to the left of the old man, then use your seat cover on the basement window. Break the window using your crowbar. After the old man leaves, pick up the bolt cutters he leaves behind. Enter the church and give the carved stone to Reverend Blake. Pick up the cross-shaped stick he drops. Leave the church and leave the city again.

Try to use your cross-shaped stick on the gate sentries The Island of Dr Moreau. Now combine it with your elastic band to make a slingshot. Head back to Misha's house up on the ledge, and go out the back to see her sons. Give them the slingshot, and they will distract the sentries. Go down to the barrier and search the saddlebag on the motorbike, then take the rubber gloves from inside.

Go back to the city again and enter the park. Use the bolt cutters on the wall of trees and bushes. After the next vision (2/3), go right to the fence. Use your rubber gloves on the electrified wire. Lift up the half-buried pipe, then climb down through the trapdoor. Look at the darkened room, then go through the other door to find the main hall. Look down at the main hall Jacob's Ladder, then walk right and pick up the acid jug. Remove the ventilation grate, then crawl through to the right. Pick up the black bag from the janitor's cart. Look at the forms on the metal closet here, and flip through all the pages to the end The Andromeda Strain. Now head right. Use your crowbar on the glass case and you will meet Uma.

Look at the dark bundle to see it is the body of the Reverend. Take the business card from his pocket and look at it in your inventory to see an address. Put your slingshot in his pocket, then use the acid jug and your jagged piece of glass on him - you will also see another vision (3/3). Look at the journal in your inventory and rewatch all 3 visions Altered States. Climb out and talk to the gate sentry once more, and the kids will be free to go. Go up to Misha's house and give her the morphine in exchange for some money. Head outside to the left and talk to the kids, then go back through the house and return to the crossroads.

Go right and give your wad of cash to the thugs, then enter the van. Look at the dirty wrinkled page on the wall and look at the mirror. Open the toolbox and take the wire with burnt out lights and the hand drill from inside. Go back outside, then go to the crossroads, down and into Rod's trailer. Give the report to Rod, and you will end up back outside. Go to the crossroads, then go left, where you will find that the Hunter's bar is closed.

Try to take the heaped books towards the left Deep Red. Take the wooden boards from the shelves on the right. Use your crowbar on the blocked door, then go through to end up on the outside of the building. Try to walk along the walkway, but the soldiers will see you. Go back towards the city square, then head right to the forest entrance. Use the empty tin to pick up the rotten fish behind the gate. Head right and try to use the wire with burnt out lights on the suicide victims The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Return to the city square and go down, then over to the burnt tree. Try to use the can with rotten fish on the water Piranha. Now return to the back street with the 2 soldiers and put your can with rotten fish on top of the trash cans. The soldiers will end up moving further back into the street. Examine the electrical panel next to where they used to be standing; turn the knobs so all lights are at their brightest, then flip the red switch at the bottom right, and all the lights will go out.

Head back into the bookstore and go through the door. Look at the fire escapes, then climb up to the roof of the building. Pick up the bucket, then go down through the door. Take the handwritten note, and look at the metal plaque next to the door - this is your apartment. Leave the building and try to leave this area, but you will be attacked before leaving.

Try to use the bucket on the blood stains A Bucket of Blood. Pick up the flashlight, and search the pool of blood to get a tooth fragment. Go back towards the camp, then head left to the tree.

Look through the ventilation grate Stalker. Go through the archway on the right. Search the waste heap, then use your crowbar on the pile of partially tangled waste. Look at Sarah's corpse, then take the flash drive from her hand. Go back to Chris and give him the flash drive, then tell him either option about Sarah. Search through the jumbled objects in the crate to get some instant camera film. Put this into your instant camera, then hold it shut with your tooth fragment.

Head back into the park. Try to use your loaded instant camera on the suicide victims Peeping Tom. Head right through the fence and down the trapdoor.

After the action, pick up the coins from the card table. Go to the city and enter your apartment. Try to take the photography backdrop, but it is stuck. Use the coins on the backdrop and you will successfully retrieve it. Go back to Rose again and examine the damaged generator on the right - this will trigger a flashback.

Go back to Rod's trailer and look through the back window. Try to use the generator on Colin's remains The Thing. Go and see Chris once more and give him the generator La Jetee.
