Diary Pages, Newspapers & Divinations

The High Priestess
All diary pages read

Early on in the game you’ll unlock Giulia’s box and receive your diary. For this achievement, you will need to read every diary entry. They will automatically be added at certain points in the game, you’ll know you have a new diary entry because it will be marked with a red exclamation point in your inventory.

The Stars
Every newspaper edition read

Right after finding your diary, you will need to head downstairs. On the table is a newspaper with a red exclamation point above it, for this achievement, you will need to read all of the newspapers. You don’t have to interact with all of the headlines, just picking it up is enough. They will always spawn in the same location at the start of every new day.

The Wheels of Fortune
Carried out a divination every day

Near the start of the chapter The Woods, you’ll be tasked with finding your tarot cards. You can find them in your parents bedroom in the desks drawer, much like the 2 achievements above, you’ll need to open your inventory and interact with the cards on every new day. They are also marked with an exclamation point.

Missable Achievements

Even though these achievements are classed as missable, the game creates a save at the start of every chapter, so once you’ve finished the game you can reload any chapter from the beginning to collect an achievement you missed.

The Magician
Dressed in Martha’s clothes

At the very start of the chapter the Room, once you’ve gotten out of bed you’ll be required to get dressed, for this achievement wear Martha’s clothes located in the left most closet.
*You’ll have a few more chances to unlock this achievement later if you missed it the first time around.

Strength
Taken all IR photos with hidden riddles

Judgement
Taken all 4 IR photos of the lady

For these two achievements, you’ll need to find the locations of the 10 different infrared photo opportunities. You’ll need the infrared film and the tripod found starting in the chapter The Rolls. I have a video below showing the locations of everything you’ll need for these achievements.

The Lovers
Completed Lapo’s quest

This achievement can be completed starting from the chapter The Burial, at the start of this chapter you’ll be able to read the letter from Lapo. A little while later you’ll gain access to the phone and be able to call different numbers, call the number from Lapo’s letter, 6934. Follow the directions given to you to unlock this achievement.

The Tower
Discovered the house in the woods

You can visit this house many times during any of the chapters, however, I found the achievement would only unlock during the Graveyard chapter, this might be a bug. It is located towards the right side of the woods.

Telephone Calls Achievement

The Fool

For this achievement, you’ll need to call every phone number in the game and select the correct dialogue options. I have sorted the tables below by which chapter you should find the letters and call the numbers during.

Miscellaneous Achievements

The Emperor
Observed an in-house object

You should unlock this achievement naturally, an “in-house object” is any of the objects that are marked with a speech bubble, interacting with them will unlock this achievement.

The Chariot
Fixed the bike

This achievement is technically unmissable as you’ll be required to ride the bike later on in the game, however I thought I would mention it here in case anyone needs help locating the bike pump! It can be found on the first floor of the house in the farthest room. It is attached to one of the bikes on the opposite side of the room.

The Empress
Taken 5 photos with no story link

The World
Developed 10 photos with no story link

For The World and The Empress achievements, you need to take 10 photos in a total of anything other than the story-related pictures.

The Hanged Man
Collected all camera accessories

There are 15 camera accessories to collect, they are usually either in the darkroom or on your father’s desk. I had a bug where when I would load a chapter I would have all of the accessories even though I hadn’t collected them or unlocked the achievement. If you play from the beginning of the chapter The Rolls this is fixed and you’ll be able to collect them all.

Justice
Taken a photo with every camera accessory

To unlock the Justice achievement you’ll need to find all of the 15 camera accessories. For this achievement go through one by one taking a photo with each accessory.
