Hello, Journalist...

If you are here, I suppose you weren't smart enough to accomplish everything, and that promotion I gave you was a complete waste of my time...

Nevertheless, since you doomed my experiment, and I was never given a chance to fix it, it is now your responsibility to fix it.

The Fun Achievements
These are the achievements the dev put in for fun. As always, the community immediately began working together to discover how to unlock these achievements...or not unlock achievements...or accidentally idling and coming back to an achievement...Nevertheless - these achievements will be organized by the level they relate to.


The cake is alive
Level 1 - In the room with the video camera on a tripod stand, there is a table to the right with cupcakes, wine, and cake. jump behind it in the corner and stare at a slice!
IT IS NOT A LIE



Staring contest
Level 3 - After hopping out of the elevator, follow the trail to the first set of stairs, and look up and stair at the recording camera for a minute or two.
NOTE: This can be done with any camera that is tracking you



Record of six
Level 9 - Run between the metal decontaminator more than 6 times before it closes.
Doing this breaks the employee record of 6


Vashta Nerada
Level 20 - After raising the lift, turn left. There should be a chicken leg next to the shadow. Approach it.
The Shadows That Melt The Flesh




Damn fine cup of coffee
Level 22 - Before jumping down the elevator shaft, turn left and take a break in the office for a minute or two.
Enjoy the coffee



Yippee ki-yay
Level 22 - After the elevator has crashed and you have dropped down into the vent, instead of turning left and walking to the recorded message, walk straight (towards the shadows) over the cigarette lighter.
Venture further.



I said no photographs!
Level 23 - Take a screenshot inside the R&D chamber.
What did he just get done telling you?!



Schrödinger's cat
Level 24 - AFTER COMPLETING level 23, the vending machine immediately left to the starting doors will have an activate button, using this button with open/close the door behind you while a 'meow' plays. Opening the door has a chance to spawn Schrödinger's cat.
NOTE: you must play through level 23, you cannot select level 24 from the menu, as the vending machine will not work.



Klonk!
Level 27 - Knock over the trash can that is straight ahead, across the bridge from spawn/starting doors.
NOTE: This achievement can be done with any trash can that you can interact with


Photon Fun Hour
Level 27 - Rather than completing the level (jumping over the desk in the office), idle or play with the photon beams for a bit.
MINIMUM time recorded is 8min
Don't lose your hair stressing



Burger Friday
Level 28 - This achievement is a day-based achievement, meaning you can only get it on friday (hence the name.) After running through the lab and jumping the gap, there is a radio playing Portal 1's credit song "Still Alive". On the same table, there is a burger, stare at it for a minute or two.
NOTE: changing the computer's time seems to work for this achievement
This achievement can be done with any burger in the game
I've experiments to run
There is research to be done
On the people who are
Still alive.


Level 1 Below



Contract Work
Level 31 - Upon spawn/entrance, there is a walkway and set of stairs to the left, there is a briefcase to the side on the base of the stairs.

Incredible how the community came together to make this guide possible. Great work, everyone! This helped a ton and, without it, I wouldn't have 100%d this game.

After beating level 25, I accidentally got the Burger Friday achievement by looking at a burger on the table and then alt-tabbing to check this guide. While looking at this guide, I got the achievement.
