None of the achievements are unlocking for me, for some reason. I'm not sure why D:

Do we have to 'get' the 20dollar bill for these achievements ?
I have yet to try, but... Early on, I chose to 'Run' (while yelling ''STRANGER DANGER!'' ;3 ), and I'm wondering if I can still tell Cove about ''The Deal'' and get the achievement(s) ?

I did it the normal way, for 'The Deal (1)' and 'The Deal (2)', and have just started a new game going for the last 'The Deal (3)' achievement.

I updated the guide. As there were no new achievements added, Derek's route has no achievements to update the guide.

Good Guide but I dont get Deal 3? Something else need to do than this 1 Choice?

"Bloomed Romance" achievement didn't work like described here. The other Guide helped me get it later.
