FAQ

Hidden achievement questions

How many achievements are hidden or optional?

Steam lists 49 names, including optional and secret-location names. The exact trigger status varies by action, so this page keeps the official name list separate from community route notes.

Which hidden achievement should I check first?

You Found Him is the clearest current search intent because recent players are asking where to enter the clock note. Start with the Waking Aldous replay and keep the 3:05 / 4:05 conflict visible.

Are all trigger notes replay-verified?

No. The page labels third-party and community instructions rather than presenting every optional action as an official guarantee.
