Introduction
UPDATE:

This guide now has three sections.

The original guide was designed to give hints for those missing 1 or 2 scenes. This has been changed into a hints section for those who don't want a full walkthrough guide.

I've now added an in-depth, step-by-step scene guide for those who want a more detailed explanation. It briefly describes all 62 scenes and gives the various paths to get them.

Finally, for those who don't care about the story, I've added a faster choices walkthrough. It requires 6 full and 2 partial playthroughs to complete.


ORIGINAL INTRO:

I had a few problems getting this achievement. Hopefully this guide can help you unlock it.

As long as you finish the game in six specific ways (see Endings section), discover the four different radio call endings, complete four different paths through the kitchen and watch out for one or two other problem areas, you should be able to grab this fairly quickly.

All the other scenes can be found by picking the different options at least once. The scenes below require a little more thought / planning.


Hints - Renovation / Painting Room
VERY IMPORTANT - Very Easy To Miss Scene

This was the part that stopped my achievement. There are two almost identical scenes that you can easily mistake for one and other. Make sure you have followed these three paths through this particular room.

*EASY TO MISS ONE OF THESE*

1) Bring the meat thermometer into the room (NO FIGHT) - Dispose of the drugs.

2) Don't bring the meat thermometer (Fight with Maxim) - Dispose of the drugs.

*MAKE SURE YOU DO THE OTHER PATH AS WELL*

3) Choose to take the drugs.


Scenes Explained

When you decide to dispose of the drugs, the club owner rings his daughter and the guy with the beard checks the barrel. The woman asks "what's in there?" and when he replies there is a slight change in the scene.

If you avoid the fight by bringing the thermometer (killing Maxim in the storeroom), a shelving unit will be in the shot when the three characters look back at him.

If you engage in the fight with Maxim, the room will change and no shelving unit is visible. This is very quick so watch carefully. It's just before he says "Some dried paint ...".

Hints - Kitchen
There are four paths to take in the kitchen. Also, make sure you also get the freezer and handyman scenes.


Handymen Scenes

When you reach the kitchen, the two handymen are questioned. You can unlock two different scenes here depending on how you escaped the guard in the previous corridor. Using the hide / light option will make them comment on having to change a light bulb as somebody smashed it. If you distracted the guard with the water bottles, he will reply "Thankfully not, no" when asked if Sergei said anything.

NOTE: The handymen also appear in two other scenes but these will be obtained automatically - one when you first visit the renovation room and another by following the fight paths below.


Fights

You must unlock all four of these paths to get the achievement.

1) Bring the meat thermometer and choose "Escape" - You avoid a fight, gaining the "Pacifist" achievement, allowing you to sneak out undetected.

2) Bring the meat thermometer and choose "Attack" - A fight begins, leaving a single body in the freezer.

3) Don't bring the meat thermometer and choose "Escape" - A fight with two guards at the same time, gaining you the "Three to Tango" achievement.

4) Don't bring the meat thermometer and choose "Attack" - A fight with two guards, one after the other, two bodies in freezer.


Finding Bodies / Freezer Scenes

Depending on how many guards you fight, the following scenes change slightly. The woman will ask "Let's find the body, where is it" or "Let's find the bodies, where are they" and this will lead to the freezer scene. When the guard looks inside he will tell you "Yeah, Sergei's there" or "Yeah, they're both there". Get all four scenes.

Hints - Endings Checklist
There are four endings in total but you need to complete the game six times - 2 via the kitchen route and 4 via the renovation / painting room. This also gets you the four required radio call endings.


KITCHEN

1) Select "Look at Documents" when the office safe is opened.

2) Select "Attack" when the safe is opened.


RENOVATION ROOM

1) "Follow the Plan" after saving the informant --> Gets the "Triple Homicide - Thai Drug Cartel" radio call.

2) "Follow the Plan" after killing the informant --> Gets the "Triple Homicide - Good Night's Sleep" radio call.

3) "Improvise" after saving the informant --> Gets the "Shooting, dead and wounded - Thai Drug Cartel" radio call.

4) "Improvise" after killing the informant --> Gets the "Shooting, dead and wounded - Good Night's Sleep" radio call.

Following the plan gets you a final car scene and Improvising unlocks the interview in the club scene.

Scene Guide - Introduction, First Room + Corridor
This section is a step-by-step walkthrough which briefly describes all the scenes you require for the achievement. It may contain spoilers.

You can use the new skip function to speed things up (haven't tried this myself) but make sure you fully watch the scenes at least once.

You need to do every step to get all 62 scenes but you don't need to fully finish every playthrough, as long as you have already seen the scenes following the one you need. Just make sure you don't skip / quit too early as some scenes contain multiple parts and cancelling a scene midway through will not count.

13 SCENES -> FIRST ROOM + CORRIDOR
14 SCENES -> KITCHEN
11 SCENES -> RENOVATION ROOM
14 SCENES -> OFFICE
10 SCENES -> ENDINGS
---------------------------
62 SCENES TOTAL

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIRST ROOM + CORRIDOR - 13 SCENES

This section is linear, just pick the options at least once. You will have to replay this section a lot.


SCENE 1 - Introduction


-- CHOICE --
SCENE 2 - Select TAKE CARE OF BODY
SCENE 3 - Select LEAVE IT ALONE


SCENE 4 - Short scene, phone thrown onto shelf


-- CHOICE --
SCENE 5 - Select LOOK AROUND THE ROOM -> Picks up meat thermometer (weapon) + kills Maxim
SCENE 6 - Select LEAVE WITHOUT TAKING A RISK -> No thermometer


SCENE 7 - Walks down corridor, sees guard, hides, breaks board


-- VARIATION --
SCENE 8 - (IF THERMOMETER) Shows you standing with the weapon
SCENE 9 - (NO THERMOMETER) Touches cap

SCENE 12 - Select HIDE -> Light bulb path


SCENE 13 - Looks into kitchen, notices workmen, checks paper

This is a major split in the story. You need to run the kitchen at least four times, get all four fight scenes and both endings. The renovation room route has two endings with four bonus radio calls and two additional scenes.

Scene Guide - Kitchen (PATH A)

SCENE 37 - (NO FIGHT WITH MAXIM / THERMOMETER) There will be a shelf in the shot when they look back at him, heads to office
SCENE 38 - (FIGHT WITH MAXIM / NO THERMOMETER) No shelf in the shot as the three people look back at him, heads to office

Thank you, even though I'm from Russia and I speak Russian, but you helped a lot

No probs, glad it helped.

Thank YOU, Freaking finally.:steamthis:

Really glad it helped you, thanks for the feedback!

Excellent guide. Thanks to it, I was able to watch all 62 scenes and get all achievements. Nicely done.
Cookie  [author] 28 Sep, 2020 @ 1:49pm 
Hi. The car scene should play if you go the renovation route and then pick "follow the plan" as your final choice in the office. The bald guy crying is part of the scene (was trying not to give too much away lol) but as long as you see the girl get into a car with the young guy, you have it. No specific walkthrough needed for that scene, just pick "follow the plan" at the end. The fast choices walkthrough will unlock all 62 scenes if you're still having trouble with any of the others. Hope that helps!
