1. How to back up your save folder
If you are using windows, the location of your save folder is here:

C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\LocalLow\Robot Invader\

You will need to back up your save folder several times throughout this guide if you want to unlock all of the achievements on one playthrough.

To back up your save folder, simply copy the Dead Secret folder from the location above to another location. When you are ready to restore from a backup, copy the Dead Secret folder that you backed up into the folder above and overwrite all files.
2. Ending D
Achieve Ending D



After you explore the upstairs left room and open the chest with the dial puzzle, you will need to go across the hallway to the upstairs right room. At that time, Woodcutter will be coming up the stairs. Simply let Woodcutter reach you, whether it's in the stairway or in the upstairs rooms. If Woodcutter reaches you, the game will be over and you will unlock Ending D. You will be able to continue the game from just after you opened the chest but before you left the upstairs left room.

If you escape Woodcutter this time, you can unlock this achievement when you enter the kitchen after calibrating the moon machine. Woodcutter will come out of the bathroom and the achievement will unlock if you do not hide in time.

4. Ending C
Achieve Ending C



After you successfully escape Woodcutter the first time by exiting the house through the window in the right upstairs room, look at the ground near the hatchet where it says "Leave". You need to specifically look with the magnifying glass at the word "Leave". Then look to the left alongside the house and use the "walk" icon. You may need to click through a few dialogs before your character will leave the house.

Restore your backed-up save files after you achieve this ending to continue the game.

@kris.aalst - Great point, thanks for sharing! I was too worried about having to replay the whole game to get the different endings so I didn't even try to complete it and go back. This makes it much easier!

A comprehensive overview of the endings, but it's not necessary to backup your save files. When the game starts, move away from the front door by going left and checking the locked and sealed door to the study. Return to the front door and click it until you leave the house and forfait => ending C. Now play the game properly. When you first encounter the masked person, let him catch you => ending D. Now play through the game until the end. Pick a key and unlock ending A, B or S. After the credits rolled, click 'Continue'. You're back at the door with the keys. Unlock another ending. After the credits, click 'Continue' again and unlock the last ending. Done. In one playthrough. Without having to backup and restore files.
