Welcome
When starting up the game you will earn your very first achievement Welcome just for starting up the game. It’s a freebie!
You are not a hacker
In the very first room walk over to the table and interact with the laptop. Enter the code 5716 to earn the achievement for accessing the laptop.
What are you hiding?
Head over to room 5, where there is a keypad locked door. Enter the code 7235 to unlock the door and earn the achievement for opening the door with the keypad.
Turin
After unlocking the keypad locked door pick up the keys off the table directly in front of you with the model ship. Turn around and head to the parking lot and unlock the tan/green van to unlock the achievement for opening the turin.
The Motel
If this achievement hasn’t unlocked already by walking over to room 5, it should automatically unlock when you head up the outside stairs to the second floor of the motel.
Flour Stained
Head up to the second floor of the motel and head into room 11. This is the room with the door open directly in front of the stairs as you head up. As mentioned the rooms in the game are numbered from left to right, this goes for both floors.
Check out the cell phone hiding behind some booze bottles on the table with the TV. Unlock it with the code 865 to earn the achievement for unlocking the phone.
Secrets
Head out of the previous room and left to room 9. There’s a lot of art work in this room. At the back of the room on a shelf on the left is a safe that can be unlocked with the combination: Star, Circle, Triangle, Square. Doing so will unlock the achievement for opening the safe.
Pick Up
Once you open the safe in room 9 you can pick up the keys from inside. These keys unlock the blue pickup truck in the parking lot. Doing so will unlock the achievement for opening the pick up.
My Vision
Head out of room 9 and to the left to room 7. This is where the murder happened. We need to rearrange the photos on the wall that are located just as you enter on the left. There are 4 pictures depicting the 4 seasons. Arrange them in the following order: Spring, Winter, Fall and Summer. This will unlock the achievement for opening the drawers.
My Family
Once you earn the previous achievement for unlocking the drawers in room 7, actually head over to the drawers that are located next to the bed. Open the bottom drawer and pick up the hand drawn picture of the family. This will earn you the achievement for looking at the drawing.
Weapon
Again in room 7 we want to head to the back of the room. On the left behind an overturned TV and in front of a bookshelf is a bloody knife. Pick this up to earn the achievement for finding the weapon.
Conclusion
