A crappy quick achievement guide / secret hunting

There are like no achievement guides for this game. Here are how I unlocked these achievements.

Non-Story Achievements I Found
Note that it takes a minute for the achievements to pop up in this game, making it difficult to find out what you did to earn it.

Stop! & Stop!!
I got both of these for shooting Mother and Nurse during their chase scenes

Allow Me
Got this from being swarmed by baby monsters in the train station.

Home Run
Got this from hitting/killing a baby monster with a fire poker. Possibly needs to be in mid-jump.

Don't Look Back
Got this from opening the door the mother was banging on.

Killing Spree & Life is Pain
Got both of these at the same time early on. I believe it is tied to killing and getting hurt five or so times.

Bad Luck
Got this from it taking about five or so attempts to light the lighter.

Darkness
I don't remember how I got this, but its possibly related to being attacked while in the dark sections?

Journalist
Got from checking a newspaper on the train station walls. I believe it is connected to looking at every intractable, or at least every newspaper. Took me multiple play-throughs, but I believe checking a newspaper I never tried before got it for me.

I have found game files that reference "collecting closeups" Might be related to Journalism.
Guesses
I am unsure about how to get these, but these are my predictions. I will move these to "how I got them" if they succeed.

Angel in White
The other guide has someone getting it, but I cannot figure out what she did in her play-through to obtain it.
There is a silent hill easter egg on the blue poster, possibly related?
API references "collecting" her.

Mother
Not going near her and triggering her jump scare in the attic didn't work.
Possibly getting through without getting attacked by her?
API references "collecting" her.

Like the Wind
Possibly from speed-running the game? I got a 2:34, but not enough if so.
Possibly speedrunning a chase scene?
API references "big house"

Peacekeeper
API references waiting and the laundry room.

Cat Walk
All I can see in the game cat-related are the posters in the subway. Maybe trying to catch the train during the chase scene?

Hell-o
Tried every window, but nothing. Checking the bedroom window while the shadow is there does nothing. Files show three different "states" for a window on staircase with a dark figure. Possibly related?

Dark Mike
API references "observing" a sink. There is a sink where mike can see his reflection in the water. Just need to find out what triggers the change?
Other things I have tried
  • I have put the sounds the tape recorder makes through different decoding software's with no luck
  • I have stayed on multiple window and screens for several minutes, as well as rapidly clicking them on and off. Code shows no alternate events that can occur with the windows, baring the three different states for the one with a shadow figure in it.
  • I have used UnityExplorer to look at assets and files, as well as ILspy.
Thats it so far
Let me know in the comments if ya'll found anything else. I literally can't find anything anywhere other than play-thru's. I will update if I find anything else.

I just checked a newspaper in the train station, like I said. I think I was checking every intractable before, and I may have missed that one. If its every intractable, then it applies between saves. If it's every train station newspaper clipping, then all in one go.

how did u get the journalist achievement.
Pingas 2 Aug, 2024 @ 6:44pm 
cpp2il by samboy (on github) can create psuedo-csharp so its kinda helpful but the game isnt stripped so you can install a modloader (like melonloader) and unityexplorer to check out the game's scenes and stuff :D

Yeah, I saw il2cpp, and I gave up lol
Pingas 1 Aug, 2024 @ 9:02pm 
i might try to use a tool to take a look at the code to see exactly what you need to do, but its il2cpp (not mono) so it wont be exact (unless i use something like ghidra)

I think the home run achievement isnt from just hitting a baby monster, but hitting a baby monster when its in the air/jumping at you
Pingas 24 Jul, 2024 @ 3:30pm 
I should also add that I got both Stop! and Stop!! achievements, maybe that has something to do with it?

I just got the angel in white achievement but idk what i did specifically to get it. It popped up when I went to the unknown place (enter the door after going down the hallway) right after Phoebe gets taken by the lady. During the Phoebe nightmare section I shot her several times, and I dont believe I got caught (except the intended times).
