Desert of Vice is a horror text-based adventure. In this guide we will walk you through all endings and achievements. If you only want a description of the achievements go to the "Achievements" section in this guide.

• The game is fully text-based, you need to type every action you want to perform.
  
• Game makes a save automatically, you can safely quit at any time by typing 'quit'.
  
• To get most of the ending achievements without having to replay the game, we make backups of our save. In this save file the safe number will be stored too. Remember this as you need it multiple times and is random per game.
  
• If you're playing for achievements, mash spacebar/enter after imputing each command to read through the text fast, and imput the next command.
  
• if you ever get lost, use the command 'hint' to see all available commands.

This section is meant for people who want to just go for achievements by following the walkthrough. If you prefer to figure it out yourself, see the section below.
