Start a new chapter

Simply knock objects off tables and shelves until this unlocks.

The Tortoise and the Hare
Finish all four puzzles

Will unlock once you've completed all the main 3 objectives AND the amulet chest puzzle.


Jack the Dullard
Uh oh, you broke the item the witch desired most

Towards the end of the game, simply throw/drop the vampires dentures from a large height.


Hearts are Made to be Broken
Finished the bad ending

Story driven and unlocked when you complete the bad ending. See Father Time for details.


Father Time
Complete every ending

There are 3 different endings to the game requiring at least 3 playthroughs. They all involve mixing the 2 recipes in the small pot (cauldron?) on the kitchen room counter. These are...

  • Purple ingredients make poison.
  • Yellow ingredients make the sleeping powder.

1) Happy ending - mix the sleeping powder and use it on the vampires glass. Do NOT mix the poison. You also need to have found all 20 hidden hats.
2) Poison ending - mix the sleeping powder and use it on the vampires glass. Then mix the poison as this will affect the dentures/witch.
3) Bad ending - mix the poison and use it on the vampires glass. Do NOT mix the sleeping powder.

Whichever ending you plan to take, you have to deliver the vampires dentures to the witch's study room to complete the game.


Over the Garden Wall
Collect all twenty missing gnomes

As the title describes, collect all 20 hidden gnome hats. You can either watch the playthrough above or use the timestamps and guide below.


You Are Number 21
Join your fallen brothers

New hidden achievement - Simply lose all your lives and therefore become the 21st hat :(


At the Top of Your Lungs
This scream is especially painful

New hidden achievement - This achievement is luck based (1 in a 100 chance unfortunately) and you get this by taking damage (ie. from falling) where you become "cracked" and slower. Let the witch repair you and keep repeating until you get it.

For reference I got the achievement in the first room right at the start of the game by jumping off one of the top platforms and got it on my 8th try. You'll know you've succeeded as the gnome has a unique scream when he lands.

vv im not gonna lie to you i didnt even know there was a book puzzle until i started trying to 100% the game, i kept climbing that open drawer and just jumping up

Also don't die while doing the paper-flying trick because when you spawn back in you're melded to the paper... I went around the map for like 10 minutes trying to get it off lol

Hey I also found a teeny little exploit that occurs when you stand on a piece of paper. When you try to hold/pick up the paper while standing on it, you can fly around (stay holding onto the paper). When you stand still, you can go up, and when you move, you go down. This really helped when I had to redo potions for the different endings, because you can just skip the book puzzle quickly. Do with this what you will :3

Great Walkthrough helped me a lot, but hm...the Jack and the Beanstalk....can't get them, what i do wrong?

In fact this is the actual requirement for the 3 ending:
Normal Ending: Mix and spike the vampire glass with sleeping powder .
Bad Ending: Mix and spike the vampire glass with poison powder .
Happy Ending: Collect all 20 hats in a single game.

Poison Ending is actually the Normal Ending. Doesn't need to mix poison powder to achieve it.

Hey, thanks a lot for your guide, a clear and precise one. For the achievement "At the top of your lungs", I did what you saidd but it didn't work. Then, one time, I jumped too early and died from the highest place I could, then the achievement showed up.. Idk how it worked but maybe you've to die from really high place to unlock it. Anyways, thanks again for this one.

thats exactly what i did lol, just jumping in the first room for lik an hour
gcharles 21 Mar, 2022 @ 2:34pm 
welp, another hour or so of jumping off things and I got the achievement. Not sure if it matters, but I did change from windowed fullscreen to fullscreen part way through. No idea though

I got mine in the starting room and repeatedly fell off one of the higher shelves/platforms and eventually got it. Sorry, not sure what else I can provide unfortunately. Like the guide mentions, the achievement is completely luck based. You're probably doing everything correctly but the game has just not decided to give it to you. I do completely understand your frustration on this one however 😔
