Collectibles and achievements organized by landmarks, entrances, actions, pickup checks and revisits. Locations, names and special requirements stay in collapsed sections; PC and older-version differences are noted.

What to note before revisiting
Note the chapter-selection scene image, original progress location and missing achievements before returning. Collectible locations and special requirements are in the collapsed sections below.
- Choose a scene already reached in-game. Do not treat a guide's page number as the number to select.
- Compare the pickup response with the achievement list. Even if you missed the notification, the list can confirm it.
- Do not assume quitting at any point immediately after pickup always saves. Return to normal progress and check acquisition status later.
This page does not modify in-game save data. Creating a new game or deleting saves is not part of normal collection steps.

Collectible categories and counts in the target version
Steam has 13 achievements. Ten correspond to the story's 10 hidden eggs; normal completion, a conditional full run and the extra section are counted separately.
Wide tables scroll horizontally.
| Category | PC Steam treatment | Do not confuse with |
|---|---|---|
| Story pickups | Ten eggs; stepping on one breaks it and awards its corresponding achievement | Finishing the story alone does not collect them all |
| Normal ending | Where Credit is Due | Separate from the egg count |
| Full-run requirement | No Point in Dying | Not limited to no deaths: the condition permits five or fewer deaths |
| Extra section | DING! | Completion of an additional section separate from the ten eggs |

Reload if the egg falls into water |

Extra-section entrance and traversal checks
The adopted route collects all ten story eggs, finishes the normal story, then chooses the insect scene image and returns to the dark cave. Continue farther right than egg 05's location and check that the rear gate is open.
- If closed, compare the achievement list for all ten eggs and find missing pickups. The extra section is not mandatory for normal completion.
- Inside is dark, so locate yourself using the boy's eyes and machinery sounds. Under the first light, do not cross the gun's line of fire for long; reach the edge immediately above.
- At the parasite scene, change direction with light and move the box you encounter in darkness. Where the overhead creature can be heard, jump from the box to remove the parasite.
- At the first visible saw device, learn its rising and returning sounds before continuing. In moving-platform sections, hang from the edge to pass beneath blades.
- Near the end, when two streams of gunfire bracket you left and right, stay between them. Where earlier bullets fall deeply marks a hole: jump it, climb the platforms and head for the lift.
This section covers the extra area's entrance and principal hazards. A chart of every dark jump position or timing, and alternative solutions without sound, have not been tested. Confirm DING! only after the final escape.

Normal-completion and full-run achievements
Wide tables scroll horizontally.
| Achievement | Version / requirement | Attempt procedure | Pending / caution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where Credit is Due | PC Steam: reach the normal story ending | After the final mechanism, continue from where control returns | All ten eggs are not required for normal completion |
| No Point in Dying | PC Steam: finish one full playthrough with five or fewer deaths | Practice obstacles with chapter selection, then begin a new full-run attempt. Keep your own death count too | Combining chapter-selection results, continuing by quitting/restarting and save modification are not included as valid procedures |
| DING! | PC Steam: clear the extra section | Meet its entrance requirements and continue to the final escape from the dark area | Touching an egg along the way alone does not count as completion |

Do not confuse a separate egg or older-version leaderboard's zero-death condition with the achievement allowing five deaths. Deleting saves to fix achievement sync delays is also not recommended.
Reading differences between versions and sources
Wide tables scroll horizontally.
| Comparison | This guide's treatment |
|---|---|
| Chapter numbers | Distinguish the PC-style 39 chapters, another source's 38 pages and the older 24 chapters. Prioritize scene images and landmarks |
| Achievement requirements | Use Steam's official names and conditions as the baseline, supplemented with locations and actions from guide sources |
| Save timing | Do not guarantee arbitrary quitting immediately after pickup; check notifications and the list |
| In-game verification | Public-source comparison only. Do not fill in unchecked seconds or input frames |

Source chapter numbers and achievement names were compared, with unconfirmed requirements left pending. If conditions do not match, check the version and scene again.
Frequently asked questions
Can chapter selection recover missed collectibles?
Story collectibles can be redone through chapter selection. Match images and landmarks, operate the necessary mechanisms again and reach the target.
I missed the pickup notification
Check acquisition in the achievement list and also watch the target's response on site. The earliest safe quitting instant after pickup has not been tested, so the policy is to return to normal progress before checking status.
Why do guides disagree on counts and chapters?
They may target different platforms or count different things. This page covers PC Steam and distinguishes achievement-related story collectibles from additional content. Exact counts and conditions are inside collapsed sections.
Can conditional achievements also be redone midway?
Collectible revisits and full-run requirements are separate. Open the desired item and check whether it uses chapter-selection collection or a challenge from the start.
