Do I have to collect all the long in one playthrough to get the achievement or can I just get missing ones on the second run?
Paapurup 14 Jun, 2023 @ 10:22am 
I just finsihed the game and I also didn't know each symbol has meaning. But, how did you define those each symbol? Am I missing something while recovering data? or the wiki site explained it? :lunar2020thinkingtiger:
hawkhill 30 Jun, 2022 @ 9:07pm 
I didn't know the symbols were saying all that!
I just thought they were random. That's COOL!
Loev 15 Jun, 2022 @ 3:01am 
Mad that I have to do another fresh playthrough to find everything.

For "Another Emma, Dead" Achievement, you have her listed in "UN-02" instead of "UC-02."

Posted this on the other guide here as well, but if anyone wants an interactive checklist while using this guide, feel free to use the one I made. Just ignore references to the other guide mentioned. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19yjGgqaATwGqVbp33p9ZRcCD_yEa51moGWvp_qhJx80/edit#gid=0

Great guide, thanks!

The "Another Emma, Dead" is in UC-02 - the main frame room.
