Notes

This is an achievement guide and NOT a complete walkthrough.
Some areas were purposely skipped in order to finish faster.
Enable "Always Dash" in settings before starting.
Hold "Z" or "spacebar" to speed up dialogs and scenes.

We would like to mention the great work this developer has been doing with the game. He fixed all bugs that we reported in a record time, and also gave us tips on how to beat some of the puzzles, so big thanks to him!
