Achievement Info
There are times when your loved ones are suffering and you can do nothing about it. You want to help them and ease their burden, but it always leads to a choice. No one can tell us which choice is right or wrong. It's only under the weight of adversity that we realize that there are no good or bad choices, only choices we are willing to take responsibility for. That's when we realize: life is strange.

Complete the Game
Some achievements unlocks automatically as you progress through the game's story, they cannot be missed and you will get them anyway. Just beat the game to get all story achievements: discover Max's new abilities, solve the university mystery and... save your friend again? Or not?

Сamera Is Your Weapon
If you've played previous LiS games, you may know that players are expected to interact with locations, characters, and the world around them as much as possible. It is very useful cause you get more immersed in the story and atmosphere, but you also find unusual objects or situations, capture them in your camera shots, it will lead you to desired achievements.

Get Into A Relationship
There are 2 possible romantic interests for Max in the game so you can choose your relationships, and depending on choice you make and how strong your connection becomes, depends what achievement you can get. So that is why you better make a desicion about it from the start.

The World Around You
Another important part of LiS games is its characters. You never know who to trust and sometimes even the one who was your friend will turn out to be completely different from what he claimed to be. Interact with characters, help them with their problems and this will unlock even more achievements for you.

Spoiler Alert Zone.
Some achievements, descriptions and methods of obtaining of them, including screenshots and videos, may contain serious spoilers. If you don’t want to spoil your impression and go through the game on your own, then I strongly recommend that you leave this guide, but be sure to come back when you are not afraid of spoilers. I warned you, wish you have a nice play.

#2: A Drink to Remember
When you gain control of Max in the bar, walk to the left past Reggie and Diamond to the door on your right, where the Polaroid is placed just to the left.
#3: Things Are Looking Up
Once you leave the rooftop area, Max will start to walk home. Follow the path until it splits in front of a statue with an owl perched on it. The Polaroid is on the left-hand path.
#4: Upstairs, Downcast
When you need to get dressed and tidy up before Amanda arrives, go downstairs to the living area with the couches and TV on the wall. Next to the telescope on the bench will be this Polaroid.
📷 Art Restoration


Unlocks in the Scene #2: A Drink to Remember. Some prankster came up with the idea to mock the works of art and turn the paintings upside down. Amanda is furious! In order to get the achievement, as well as to get additional recognition from Amanda, you need to go around the entire bar and find 3 locations with paintings.




Once you are done, the achievement will unlock, and Amanda will notice your help during the dialogue.

📸 Putting the “Cap” in “Caper”


Can be unlocked Chapter 1, Scene #3: Things Are Looking Up. During your get-together on the roof of the university building, Safi confessed that she has great news, but she is not ready to just go and tell it.


First, talk to Moses Murphy. He gives you a hint about the rule with the bottle cap: the one who is given it must tell the truth, this is a custom that is not accepted to refuse. Now that you have the cap, you need to put it under it so that you can casually hand it to Safi. You are offered several possible options, but only one will be correct - put it in a box of bear candies.


Now offer these candies to Safi to unlock the achievement.

📷 Thinking Outside the Box — [1/X]


The first steps for this achievement can be found here in Chapter 1, Scene 5: Back to School Blues. After Amanda takes you to the university building, go to the left side and you will see Reggie Kagan freaking out and throwing some box on the floor in anger.


Pick it up and try to solve it as follows:

1. First things first find box side with eye and trigger it. Then find the side with University founder and trigger it too.


2. Now find box side with another bird, just like the one that sits on founder`s shoulder and ask Reggie for a lighter. This will drop you a bird token.


3. Find University founder box side again and place bird token on the other shoulder. This will triiger the box to open, but the achievement trigger is still far enough. We will return to its solving in future Chapters.

📷 The Mail Gaze


Once you meet Vinh, he will ask you to find an envelope with documents and bring it. It can be found in a box on the floor in a private office with a large copy machine.


However, you will not be able to give it to him right away, as soon as you go to him again with the envelope, you will be invited to her office by Yasmin Fayyad. Do not forget to give the envelope after talking to her.

📷 Split Decision


Story-related, impossible to miss, unlocks after Max first encounters new powers and manages to create a passage to a parallel world.

📷 Further Developments

Description

Table for Three
At the start of the chapter, you'll learn how to shift between the Living and Dead timeline. When you shift back into the Dead timeline, go to the table in front of the tortoise painting on the wall to find this Polaroid.
By the Horns
When you're outside in the Living timeline, head for the benches that are undercover. You'll find the Polaroid on the right-hand one.
Leaving Nothing Overlooked
On the path up to the overlook at the start of the scene, there'll be a short cutscene involving an owl. After that, at the top of the hill on the first bench you see will be the Polaroid.
Avoiding Detection
Having made it into Moses' office via the Living timeline, switch to the Dead timeline and approach the computer lit up blue. Next to it will be the Polaroid.
Photo Finished
On top of the stereo in the living area is this final Polaroid.
Favor Saver


This one is related to the The Mail Gaze achievement.

When Max brings Vinh's package, he will ask her what she wants in return. Max will answer that one day she will ask him for a favor. During Chapter 2, Scene By the Horns there will be a moment when Max call a favor to unlock the smarphone or just save it for later. Choose Save it for later to unlock the achievement



Loyal Flush
📷 Thirst Trip


Find and water these two plants to unlock the achievement. The first one can be found in Gwen`s Office in Scene #2: By the Horns. The second one is located on the first floor in Max`s House during the Scene #5: Photo Finished.

Clue Me In


The Clue Box is also found in Chapter 2 - Scene #5. Each of these clues appears if you make a certain choice or find them before.



Be Great, Do Crime!


Chapter 2 – Scene: Avoiding Detection. At the end of this scene, you will be asked by Detective Alderman to “Agree” or “Refuse”, you MUST agree here.

Then at the very end of Chapter 2 – Scene #5: Photo Finished, during the last sequence with Moses, you need to choose “I’m not actually going to cooperate.” to unlock the achievement.
📷 Nothing Lasts Fur-Ever / Heavy Petting [1/3]






I'm not sure if the achievement can be unlocked here, but the first interaction with the cat occurs in Chapter 2 - Scene #5.

As soon as you and Moses enter Max's house, he will immediately go down to the darkroom. You will have time and opportunity to explore the house. Near the back door, someone will meow persistently.


Open the door and you will have the opportunity to choose the cat's appearance through a dialog box, as well as give it a nickname.


Go to the kitchen and find cat food in the top cabinet, feed him.


Then go into the living room, and interact with the pillow on the couch to make a cat bed.
Platypus Genius
📷 Bullet, Proof


Story related, can`t be missed anyway. Unlocks right after you reveal something strange in your house darkroom with Moses together.

'Loyal Flush' - Chapter 2 Scene 1 - Go on the patio in Dead timeline, listen on the 2 men playing Assassin and finish their dialogue, go inside and grab bathroom key on wall right of paintings, head back to Living timeline and give key to the Timid Guy next to Christmas Tree.

I think that's all you've missed beside the super long ones. Hope this helps!

'Clutterbug' Chapter 1 Scene 1 - look at bowling mascot, take a smaller one under it. Chapter 1 Scene 4 - Clean up your room and put the Acadia Bay photo on the wall. Chapter 1 Scene 5 - Walk over to Reggie on the left and complete puzzle. Then walk over to the bench opposite of FAB building, interact with origami note. Continue story until you comfort Moses. Rose should be on the table.
'Page Turner' Chapter 2 Scene 2 - When in Gwen's office, read Memoir in Living timeline. Chapter 3 Scene 3 - When in Gwen office, ask Gwen about Safi's Manuscript. If she doesn't give, switch to Living timeline and grab it from the drawer. Continue til Lucas office, interact with Family Photo, look under it, grab key and walk over to golden typewriter.

Character limit maxed again..

'Heavy Petting' Chapter 4 Scene 1 - In Living timeline, go upstairs and pet the cat
'Nothing Lasts Fur-ever' Chapter 4 Scene 2 - In Living timeline, go around the back near where Diamond and Moses is seated. On the wall, there's a Podcast Flyer by Loretta. Look at it, wait for new option to appear, 'Scan QR code'
'Home Sweet Home' Chapter 4 Scene 2 - Finish exposing Lucas, go to Dead timeline and tell Moses the news. After, an option to help Moses with Gingerbread house appears. Press that then he says something about missing a chimney. Go to Living timeline and talk to Safi, select Gingerbread house option. Return to Moses in Dead timeline.
'Platypus Genius' Chapter 2 Scene 2 - Sign up using poster on tree behind statue in Dead timeline when you can control Max. Keep checking throughout story. Last message is Chapter 5 Last Scene. Exploring scene doesn't work!

I maxed character limit.

I played the game three times, I don't recommend it; it's long, and you can't skip anything. I took every possible photo in the game, watched guides and YouTube videos—I have them all. Still no achievement. I'm devastated :')

For "Frame Fatale," you have to take a photo of the Caledon Statue with Lucas in the frame towards the end of Chapter 5, right before you go to the Snapping Turtle for the last time (works with the Cat DLC). I know some people have been having trouble getting this achievement and I haven't seen this photo listed in other guides.

is the guide not fully complete?
SgtLlama 31 Oct @ 4:13pm 
I think “Be Great, Do Crime” is sometimes bugged at least it was for me. I agreed to help and took the card and then told Moses I wouldn’t actually cooperate. Didn’t get it. Reloaded and retried a few times. Still didn’t. Will try again during next playthrough.

how do you put so much effort into guides but then soil them with AI art

You can all 4 romance achievements by just replaying the ‘Nobody Wants to Drink Alone’ part of chapter 3
