Missable Achievements

Throughout the game, trust Safi and be nice to her, and don’t suspect her of taking the remains from the basement of the Abraxas House. When you play as Chloe and meet Moses in his office, be sure to read the book upstairs and ask him about Maya.

When you talk to Safi in the lighthouse, choose the following dialog options:

• I know the feeling.
• She told you about the fire.
• You’ve been hurting since Maya died.
• Moms can forgive a lot.
• We’re also alive.

Save Safi, Loretta, Owen, Vinh, Jeannette, Noelle, and Anthony the Poet, and prevent the fire in the Admin Building, the explosion at the Abraxas House, and the total destruction of the Observatory.

Safi

See You’re Coming With Me for details.

Admin Building: Loretta & Owen

As Chloe, accuse Ren of setting fire to the Admin Building. Noelle will stop him later, saving Loretta and Owen.

Abraxas House: Vinh

As Max, suspect Vinh of taking the remains from the basement of the Abraxas House. Max will confront him later at the Abraxas House, preventing the explosion.

Observatory: Jeannette, Noelle & Anthony

When the fire breaks out in the Observatory, read the Poster Board (see screenshot below) to discover that Jeannette is inside the building. After talking to the Custodian, enter the Utility Room and:

1. Read the Note and power up the Breaker Box.
2. Take the Mask and the Wrench.
3. Open the Utility Room Valve.

Next, approach Noelle outside, give her the Mask, and tell her about Jeannette. Open the Fountain Valve with the Wrench and take the T-wrench. Finally, open the Main Water Valve and smash the atrium door window.

Scene: Lying and Waiting

When you meet Lucas at the bar:

1. Either be nice or don’t talk to him at all. Don’t be rude to him.
2. When Noelle asks about your faculty sponsor, make up a name. Don’t say Max Caulfield.

Scene: Times in Turtle

Ask Lucas about the protest. He will give you the password if you meet the two requirements from above.
