The Casting of Frank Stone 100% guide

The Casting of Frank Stone has 32 Xbox achievements worth 1,000G on one Xbox achievement list shared by Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC. There is no Xbox One version.

All 32 achievements belong to the base achievement list. The Deluxe Edition add-on gives instant access to the Cutting Room Floor and eight costumes, but adds no achievements.

There are no online, co-op, multiplayer, or server-dependent achievements. Everything can be completed solo and offline.

As of 2026-10-15, no achievement is CURRENTLY CONFIRMED UNOBTAINABLE or CURRENTLY CONFIRMED DISCONTINUED.

Plan on two main chronological routes plus substantial Cutting Room Floor cleanup. The Standard Edition unlocks the Cutting Room Floor after completing the story once. Deluxe owners have it immediately, but this does not remove the need to establish the different timeline states used later.

There are no difficulty achievements. Use Observer difficulty.

The completion revolves around three goals:

• First route: keep the five achievement-relevant protagonists alive, collect 53 of the 54 collectibles, establish the Madi drink-and-pendant timeline, and reach 105/224 Cutting Room Floor branches.
• Cleanup: exhaust the first timeline's Chapter 14 endings and several otherwise awkward branches, reaching 169/224.
• Second route: deliberately reverse the major choices, collect the final Trinket, kill the required protagonists, and finish the remaining Cutting Room Floor branches.

The game tracks 224 Cutting Room Floor branches, and All Seeing requires all of them.

Most individual mistakes are recoverable through the Cutting Room Floor. However, later scenes inherit earlier timeline state, so changing one choice and then jumping directly to a much later scene does not reliably propagate that new state. When this guide tells you to continue forward from an earlier branch, do so rather than jumping ahead.

Start on Observer and use these accessibility options:

• HOLD TO COMPLETE BUTTON MASH: ON
• SKILL CHECK TIMEOUT: OFF
• COMBAT TIMER: OFF

These do not disable achievements. They also do not prevent intentional failures. When this route says FAIL, deliberately press an incorrect input, shoot away from the target, or otherwise force the failure instead of assuming a disabled timer will fail automatically.

A Great Skill Check is the small white section inside the larger success zone. Ten Great Skill Checks are cumulative. Five ordinary successful Skill Checks must be consecutive.

When using the Cutting Room Floor:

• Let the white save indicator finish before leaving a newly unlocked branch.
• If an outcome depends on an earlier decision, start at that decision and play continuously forward until the dependent outcome is registered.
• Collectibles remain recorded once collected, so you do not need to pick them up again on replayed scenes.
• During repeated campfire endings, stay in the scene until Augustine begins her final narration ("Whether killing or surviving…") before returning to the Cutting Room Floor. Leaving earlier can fail to record the ending branch.
• After reaching any new branch, confirm it shows as unlocked on the Cutting Room Floor before moving on. The tracker can lag until you load a scene and play a little further; if it still has not updated, fully relaunch the game.
• Save-wipe reports while using the Cutting Room Floor exist on PlayStation and PC; none are confirmed on Xbox. Still, never close the game while the save indicator is showing.
• Use the branch-count checkpoints in this guide. A mismatch means you missed a branch and should correct it before overwriting too much timeline state.

This route needs Sam to trust Tom, retain the crowbar, and stop Frank Stone.

During the opening conversation with Tom, choose SERIOUS ("I need to ask you a few questions"), then CURIOUS ("Can I check your records?"). SERIOUS is required for CURIOUS to register the Log Book branch. At the grate, successfully open it with the crowbar. Passing this button mash keeps the crowbar intact, which Linda needs in Chapter 5 to reach the Wooden Oni Mask Trinket. When Tom hesitates about helping, choose REASSURING, “You're better off keeping a clear head,” or the equivalent Trusted Tom response available from your earlier dialogue.

Collect everything before advancing:

• Iridescent King: at the Mill Entrance, squeeze through the lit gap in the far-right fence and check the box behind it.
• Staff File: inside the mill office, interact with the right filing cabinet.
• Wooden Horse: after entering the Stormdrain, explore the side room opposite the direct Furnace route and open the Trinket box.
• Symbols: inspect the markings beside the Furnace Access area.
• The Hillbilly: before continuing through the low crawlspace, check the pipe-filled side area to the right.

Choose LADDER when entering the Furnace Chamber and pass every Skill Check, combat sequence, and button-mash sequence against Frank.

When Madi encounters the hitchhiker, choose STOP. During the drive, choose CURIOUS and ask about Linda's work.

At Gerant Manor, explore upstairs before progressing:

• Estate Letter: upstairs, on the small table near the windows.
• Music Sheet (not a collectible): inspect the sheet on the lit upstairs table. This enables the piano interaction for Motif.
• The Huntress: after playing the piano and opening the secret room, collect the Rellik inside.
• The Epic of Gilgamesh: inspect the book in the parlor.
• Movie Poster: inspect the wall display before leaving the parlor.

When Augustine offers Madi a drink, choose the relaxed response and accept the drink. This does not hurt the survivor ending and is required to expose several Chapter 14 branches later.

This chapter establishes Jaime and Chris' relationship, the firecrackers, the pocket mirror, and several later Cutting Room Floor branches.

In the Storage Shed, pass the opening button mash and use:

• DEFIANT
• COMPLIANT
• APOLOGETIC
• DISAPPOINTED

When Bonnie arrives at Jaime's Garage, use:

• JOVIAL
• SHOCKED
• SERIOUS
• STEAL

Choose the DRUGSTORE first.

At the Drugstore:

• Collect Lost Movie Magazine from the counter area.
• Collect Waterlogged Shoe from the lower shelf in the right-side aisle.
• Encourage Jaime during the conversation that leads to obtaining the firecrackers.
• When Chris discusses Jaime with Linda, choose the romantic response affirming that she loves him.
• Buy the firecrackers before leaving.

At the Curiosity Shop:

• Collect Lawyer Letter from the shelving toward the left side of the shop.
• Collect The Trapper from the back-right portion of the shop.
• Choose the non-jealous route when discussing Robert.
• Agree with Jaime (COMPLIANT) rather than encouraging Chris to steal.
• Pick up the film canister, then choose DOUBTFUL ("It feels a little high") to register Price Haggled.
• When the mirror is offered, choose POLITE ("We could use this as a prop…") to accept the Pocket Mirror (a story item, not a collectible) and register Mirror Gifted.

At Gerant Manor, collect both available Artifacts before advancing:

• Blueprints: reveal the hidden surveillance room behind the engraved portrait and inspect the plans on the lit desk.
• Face of Evil: inspect the book on the upper landing.

When Linda urges Stan to lead the way, choose COMMANDING ("What are you waiting for?") to register Followed Stan. For the relationship route, use COMFORTING when Linda speaks with Madi, then NOSTALGIC and CONCERNED during the later conversation.

Continue into Chapter 5.

At Jaime's Garage, choose EXCITED, then SUBDUED.

Before speaking to Linda, collect:

• Old Newspaper Article from the table behind Robert.
• Oracle of the Omniverse from the garage.
• The cassette tape beside the research material (not a collectible; it is the Lumpkin and Livin' item).

Play the cassette on the nearby cassette player before leaving the garage.

When talking to Linda, choose CONCERNED and ENCOURAGING. Do not choose INSECURE.

At the Creek, choose CROSS on this first route.

After crossing:

• Tattooed Middle Finger: after the initial crossing sequence, use the additional beam leading to the small roof and open the box.
• The Wraith: in the Stormdrain, take the early side route through the squeeze.
• Casting Shed Key (progress item, not a collectible): after entering the larger room through the broken window route, search the rear-right area and take the key. It is required for The Iridescent Head. The Cutting Room Floor does not track the key, so if you ever replay Chapter 5 for The Iridescent Head, start from a scene before the key pickup.
• Linda's Yard dialogue: choose INSISTENT ("We still have one more scene"), then COMPASSIONATE ("Give him a break, Bonnie!"). The opposite answer is reported to cost Jaime his firecrackers, which the Chapter 5 CONFRONT rescue needs.
• Wooden Oni Mask: as Linda in the Yard, go to the Chapter 1 grate in the corner by the bend in the wall and pick up the crowbar tucked under the wooden beam in front of it. It is only there if Sam did not break it in Chapter 1. Cross the yard to the small slanted-roof shed, pry the door open with the crowbar, and open the Trinket box on the floor at the back.
• Blighted Rat: in the Furnace Chamber, obtain the crank from the lower side area, install it in the mechanism above, move the platform, and open the box it brings into reach.
• The Iridescent Head: use the Casting Shed Key on the Casting Foundry access, complete the climbing and rack route inside, and open the box near the upper route.
• The Clown: after the camera-filming tutorial section, explore the side hall and crawl beneath the scaffold to the Rellik.
• Weapon Designs: inside Stone's Lair, inspect the document on the table before interacting with the jar.

When you reach the first generator with Jaime and Robert, choose IMPATIENT ("I want a few minutes alone with Chris") when Jaime speaks with Robert. Collect both generator parts and repair it successfully. This is generator 1/3 for Tinkerer.

During the repair sequence, use the generator to finish both Skill Check achievements. Releasing the repair control between attempts lets you restart the repair sequence and create more checks. Avoid deliberately failing four repair attempts because Robert can finish the repair for you.

At the boxcar transition, choose HESITANT on this first route and deliberately fail the Robert-saving Skill Check. Continue into the Lair.

At the jar sequence, choose SHOCKED and APPRECIATIVE. When Frank takes Chris, choose CONFRONT and pass the firecracker Skill Check so Jaime survives.

Before solving the gate, collect:

• Fanzine Review from the round table upstairs.
• The Legion from the upstairs rear-left floor.
• Deed of Sale from the small table at the opposite rear side.

For the gate puzzle, first take the small key from the upstairs table. Use it on the cabinet. Retrieve the Tree Model downstairs and place it into the cabinet's diorama to receive the Toy Hammer. Use the Toy Hammer on the Hillbilly display to obtain the missing tumbler.

Set the gate symbols from left to right to House, Tree with Lumberjack, Toy Hammer.

Inside the Sanctum, collect everything before interacting with the Broken Super 8:

• Demonic Statue from its display case.
• Riot Broadcast from the audio exhibit.
• Fiction Book near the seating and fire area.
• Victor's Soldier from the floor toward the far side.
• Broken Super 8 from the central table last, because it advances the story.

During the coin interaction with Stan, choose MISCHIEVOUS and HEADS on this route. Pass the later combat sequence.

Use RELUCTANT and DISMISSIVE during the opening conversation.

Once Linda has the 8mm camera, successfully ward off Frank every time he approaches. Raise the camera, keep Stone framed while recording, rewind before the film meter is exhausted, and repeat as needed.

In the Wagon Shed, follow the power cable to the generator, find the required part near the scissor-lift area, and repair the generator successfully. This is generator 2/3.

Continue warding off Stone while the lift lowers.

Before dropping into the Rear Yard, cross the balance beam from the elevated route and open the box containing Diamond Cufflinks.

Use the survivor-oriented opening dialogue, including NOSTALGIC, CONCERNED, and HESITANT where those responses appear. Also choose SUPPORTIVE and PROBING ("Who is Logan Chen?") when offered; both are counted in the 105/224 checkpoint.

As Madi, solve the Horologium sequence and successfully complete the final button-mash input so she survives.

When Sam collapses and Linda gets the opportunity to search him, select the DIARY or letter rather than the pouch and pass both theft checks. Sam must retain his gun for the first-timeline Chapter 14 cleanup, while stealing the diary also allows the Logan Chen Letter to register later.

Collect all Chapter 8 items before leaving the Archive:

• Shrine in the corridor before the stairs.
• T-Shirt in the Archive.
• Fake Prop Arm in the Archive.
• The Nurse from the rear portion of the Archive.
• Flawed Lamp toward the rear-right.
• Logan Chen Letter, which becomes available because Linda stole Sam's diary.
• Alt Movie Scene from the filmstrip viewer. Examine it last, because it advances the scene.

This first route enters the Descent path because Linda escaped Chapter 7.

Collect:

• Grandmother's Letter: obtain the filing-cabinet key around the locker area and use it to open the relevant locker.
• Merlin's collar (the Bad Dog item, not a collectible): after restoring the steam system and descending farther into the mill, inspect the collar in the fenced or cage-like corner.
• Frank's Journal: explore the later side room before leaving the underground section.
• The Doctor: move through the hidden cage area near the journal route and collect the Rellik.

When inspecting Merlin's collar, rotate it until Linda identifies the name.

This route needs Chris to remain in 2024 and Stan to survive until Chapter 14.

Use SERIOUS during the Horologium discussion, then choose the fearful response that keeps Chris from attempting the return to 1980.

When Stan needs help, successfully complete his rescue Skill Check.

Do not experiment with the return-to-1980 outcomes yet. They are all routed during cleanup.

On this timeline (Chris stays in 2024), Chapter 11 is cutscene-only and has no collectibles. Continue normally into Chapter 12.

As Madi, search Augustine's bedroom thoroughly.

Collect:

• Grimoire Page from the book. Turn through the book until the hidden key is obtained.
• Use that key on the music box to open the secret passage.

At the bottom of the secret-passage stairs, go LEFT down the hallway first. The right-hand double doors trigger the closing cutscene and end the scene, so entering them first skips the next three items.

• Session Tape from the recording equipment in the passage.
• The Twins from the passage.
• Sacrificial Knife from the small box further along the same hallway.

Only after all three, return and enter the right-hand double doors.

When the pendant is found, choose the ASSERTIVE response and have Madi keep the pendant.

This is intentional. Madi having both Augustine's drink from Chapter 2 and the pendant is what makes the first-timeline Phagocytosis and Friendly Fire branches available.

Use SUPPORTIVE and EMPATHETIC during the remaining survivor-route conversations.

Keep everyone alive.

As Linda, successfully use the camera against Stone.

In the 2024 Screening scene, choose COMFORTING ("Don't look Madi") to register Madi Comforted.

When controlling Sam, pick up the camera and navigate the Stormdrain. After the first successful ward-off, go through the orange-lit window and immediately check the small side area for The Spirit Rellik.

Continue to Jaime. Raise the camera and successfully ward Stone away from him.

Proceed toward Linda, warding Stone off every time he appears. Pass every emergency Skill Check and final camera sequence.

The first objective is to keep Madi, Jaime, Chris, Sam, and Linda alive. Stan and Bonnie do not count against Entity Displeased.

As Sam, choose CONFRONT STAN and pass the resulting combat sequence. When Frank grabs Stan, deliberately fail the button-mash rescue. Choose BACK AWAY. Stan is consumed, protecting the playable survivors from being substituted into this death.

As Linda, collect:

• Blacksmith's Hammer from the side area of the corridor before committing to the generator room.
• ID Card from the generator room beside one of the generator components.

Collect both generator parts and successfully repair the final generator. This is generator 3/3.

Choose HELP MADI when Stone attacks in the hallway.

As Madi, answer Augustine with UNCERTAIN ("…I do"). Because Madi drank Augustine's drink and holds the pendant, any other answer, including FURIOUS, gets her hypnotised and killed.

As Linda, pass every escape Skill Check and button-mash sequence in the chase. When Linda encounters Sam, choose FLEE rather than trying to help him.

As Sam, pass every escape Skill Check.

As Madi, choose RESISTANT ("I can't").

As Chris, choose LEAVE at the projector screen. Chris is still holding the Pocket Mirror from Chapter 3, so PUSH THROUGH burns her and fails Entity Displeased.

When the Woods sequence begins, visit all four Prescriptions stands. At the fork:

• Take the right route first and go through the door to collect The Trickster.
• Return to the fork.
• Collect Bloodied Ring from the nearby stump before entering the final squeeze.
• Take the left squeeze route to the campfire.

Do not skip the credits. The final post-credit scene awards The Champion Rellik automatically.

Do this entire section before beginning the second route.

The first timeline currently contains the combination that is hardest to recreate later: Madi accepted Augustine's drink, Madi kept the pendant, Sam retained his gun, Chris is alive in 2024, Stan reached Chapter 14, and the playable cast entered the finale alive.

Use the Cutting Room Floor and replay the following Chapter 14 outcomes. Unless a run specifically tells you otherwise, let the resulting survivor reach the campfire and remain there long enough for the ending branch to save.

Start each of these from HUNTED using the established first-route timeline.

1. Linda, Sam, Chris survive: repair the generator, HELP MADI, choose FURIOUS, pass Linda's Skill Check and button mash, FLEE, pass all Sam checks, choose LEAVE, then reach the campfire. This advances the branch count to 110/224.

1. Madi, Linda, Sam survive: repair the generator, HELP MADI, choose UNCERTAIN, pass Linda's Skill Check and button mash, FLEE, pass all Sam checks, choose RESISTANT and PUSH THROUGH, then reach the campfire. This advances to 113/224.

1. Madi, Sam, Chris survive: fail Linda's generator repair, pass Madi's Skill Check and button mash, FLEE, pass all Sam checks, choose LEAVE, then reach the campfire. This advances to 116/224.

1. Madi, Linda, Chris survive: repair the generator, HELP MADI, choose UNCERTAIN, pass Linda's Skill Check and button mash, FLEE, deliberately fail Sam's escape checks, choose RESISTANT and LEAVE, then reach the campfire. This advances to 119/224.

1. Madi and Linda survive: repeat the preceding route but choose PUSH THROUGH instead of LEAVE at the final Chris branch. This advances to 120/224.

1. Madi and Chris survive: repair the generator, HELP MADI, choose UNCERTAIN, pass Linda's first Skill Check but fail the following button mash, choose RESISTANT and LEAVE. This advances to 123/224.

1. Madi and Sam survive: fail Linda's generator repair, pass Madi's Skill Check and button mash, FLEE, pass all Sam checks, then choose PUSH THROUGH. This advances to 124/224.

1. Madi survives: repair the generator, HELP MADI, choose UNCERTAIN, deliberately fail Linda's escape Skill Checks, choose RESISTANT, pass Madi's button mash, FLEE, fail Sam's checks, then PUSH THROUGH. This advances to 126/224.

1. Chris survives: repair the generator, choose GO FOR ELEVATOR, then choose LEAVE and reach the campfire. This advances to 130/224.

1. Madi dies on the stairs: fail Linda's generator repair, then fail both of Madi's Skill Checks. This records 131/224.

1. Madi dies at the door: fail Linda's generator repair, pass Madi's Skill Check, then fail the following button mash. This records 132/224.

Start from CURTAIN CALL while Madi still has both the drink and pendant.

Choose ACCUSE AUGUSTINE. Pass the button mash, then deliberately fail the combat check by shooting neither Madi nor Stone.

Madi becomes hypnotised and is absorbed by Frank Stone.

Continue the same run by failing Linda's generator repair, then pass Linda's combat sequence, Skill Check, and button mash. Choose FLEE. Deliberately fail Sam's escape checks. Choose LEAVE and reach the campfire.

This records the Madi Consumed state plus the related Linda-and-Chris ending and should bring the count to 135/224.

Continue cleaning the same first-timeline ending states.

1. Linda and Sam survive: from HUNTED, fail the generator, pass Linda's combat sequence, Skill Check, and button mash, FLEE, pass all Sam checks, choose PUSH THROUGH, then reach the campfire. This records 136/224.

1. Sam survives: fail the generator, pass Linda's combat sequence, Skill Check, and button mash, choose TRY TO HELP, pass all Sam checks, choose PUSH THROUGH, then reach the campfire. This records 138/224.

1. Linda dies in the generator room: fail the generator, then fail Linda's combat sequence and following Skill Check. This records 139/224.

1. Linda is sacrificed: repair the generator, make no UP or DOWN selection when the timed choice appears, then choose LEAVE. Once the Woods scene begins and the branch has saved, return to the Cutting Room Floor. This records 141/224.

Start CURTAIN CALL again.

Choose ACCUSE AUGUSTINE and pass the button mash. During the combat check, deliberately shoot Madi, not Frank Stone. Choose BACK AWAY afterward.

Continue with Madi as the generator-room character. Repair the generator, choose UP, pass Madi's Skill Check and button mash, choose TRY TO HELP, pass all Sam checks, choose LEAVE, then reach the campfire.

This route should take the branch count to 146/224.

Two partial Madi outcomes remain in this state.

1. Madi captured: from HUNTED with Madi alone in the generator section, repair the generator and deliberately make no UP or DOWN choice. This records 147/224.

1. Madi killed in the generator room: fail Madi's generator repair, fail the combat sequence, then fail the following Skill Check. This records 148/224.

Your Cutting Room Floor should now show 148/224.

Before replacing the first-route timeline, clean the paths that depend on the Drugstore-first and firecracker states.

In Chapter 3, use the lower CURIOSITY scene belonging to the Drugstore-first route:

1. Choose CYNICAL, inspect the film reel, choose DOUBTFUL, then DUBIOUS. This records Mirror Refused and reaches 149/224.

1. Restart that CURIOSITY scene. Choose CYNICAL, inspect the film reel, then choose APPRECIATIVE. This records Price Accepted and reaches 150/224.

In Chapter 5, start LAIR with the firecrackers available. Inspect the jar and trapdoor, choose SHOCKED, PESSIMISTIC, and CONFRONT, then deliberately fail all of Jaime's subsequent checks.

This records the breakup, failed firecracker rescue, and Jaime's death, bringing the count to 153/224.

Start HOROLOGIUM with Madi alive.

For the machine-breaking outcome, choose SERIOUS and HOPEFUL, fail both button-mash inputs, then choose HELP STAN. This records 154/224.

Restart HOROLOGIUM. Choose SERIOUS and HOPEFUL again, fail both button mashes, then choose GO. Continue forward into Chapter 11 instead of jumping ahead.

Immediately replay from the Chapter 13 FURNACE state while Chris is still present in 1980.

As Linda, successfully use the camera against Stone and choose OUTRAGED.

As Sam, obtain the camera and traverse the Stormdrain. Ward Stone off at the first required encounter, then approach Jaime.

This time, deliberately fail to ward Stone away from Jaime.

Restart STORMDRAIN.

Pick up the camera and follow the direct exit route. Ward Stone away during the required traversal encounters, but ignore the optional Jaime and Chris detours.

At the final sequence:

• Fail Sam's camera use.
• Fail Sam's Skill Check.
• Fail Linda's camera use.
• Fail Linda's button mash.

This records Sam Knocked Aside, Linda Weakened Stone, and Linda Killed.

Your Cutting Room Floor should now show 169/224.

Use the Cutting Room Floor to return to Chapter 1's Mill Entrance and begin building the second timeline. From this point, continue forward whenever a later outcome depends on these changes.

At the grate, deliberately fail the crowbar button mash. This records Crowbar Broken and moves to 170/224.

Pass the follow-up opening interaction, then choose FRUSTRATED with Tom. This records Sam Snapped and reaches 171/224.

In the Stormdrain, deliberately fail the early flashlight Skill Check to record the alternate state, reaching 172/224.

At the Furnace Chamber, choose RAMP, reaching 173/224.

During the Stone confrontation, pass the first required combat interaction, then deliberately fail the subsequent survival sequence:

• Fail the button mash that causes the eye injury.
• Fail the pipe escape.
• Fail the final baby-saving button mash and Skill Check.

The resulting Eye Gouged, Seriously Injured, and Sam Failed states should bring the total to 176/224.

The resulting Sam Failed outcome, from failing this Chapter 1 sequence, is what makes Sam's later bribe available.

When Madi reaches the hitchhiker, choose DRIVE PAST. Linda will still arrive at Gerant Manor through the alternate path.

At the manor, refuse Augustine's drink using the RELUCTANT response.

These changes move the alternate timeline to 179/224 and remove the Madi hypnosis setup used during the first route.

Collectibles can now be ignored because everything available on this path was already saved globally.

At the Storage Shed, pass the opening button mash and choose:

• HOPELESS
• DEFENSIVE
• RELUCTANT
• COMPLIANT

The final COMPLIANT response accepts Sam's offer to pay Jaime to leave.

Continue the new timeline.

At Jaime's Garage, choose PUZZLED and QUESTIONING.

During the Bonnie conversation use JOVIAL, SHOCKED, SERIOUS, then CALL. This records Jaime Honest and reaches 183/224.

Restart from Casa Rivera while preserving this route. Use PUZZLED and QUESTIONING again, then EMPATHETIC and NERVOUS to receive Bonnie's money. This records 184/224.

On Main Street choose CURIOSITY SHOP first. This records the alternate shop order and reaches 186/224.

Run the Curiosity Shop outcomes:

• Choose DOUBTFUL and POLITE for the first route, reaching 188/224.
• Replay the upper Curiosity branch and choose APPRECIATIVE, reaching 189/224.
• Replay again with DOUBTFUL and DUBIOUS, then continue into the Drugstore route, reaching 191/224.

Do not rebuild the first-route firecracker state. The second timeline needs the opposite Chapter 5 outcomes.

Continue the alternate route through Gerant Manor.

Use PROBING and DISMISSIVE to record the alternate relationship path, reaching 192/224.

In the Parlor sequence use CYNICAL with Madi, PROBING with Stan, then CURT and FLIPPANT upstairs.

Continue to Chapter 5. The alternate manor and relationship branches should take the timeline to 193/224.

At Jaime's Garage use AGITATED, SUBDUED, and DUBIOUS.

Pick up and play Tom's cassette again. Because Sam snapped at Tom in Chapter 1, this timeline records the opposite Tom outcome and reaches 194/224.

Use INSECURE ("Should I be worried about Robert?") and PETTY during the relationship conversation. Together with SUBDUED in the garage and AGGRESSIVE at the generator below, these are required for the Feelings for Linda branch.

At the Creek choose CLIMB, not CROSS.

After scaling the fence, immediately keep left and squeeze through the rocks. Open the box on the ground to obtain Mother Daughter Ring.

The alternate route branches should bring the count to 196/224.

As Linda in the Yard, choose DISAPPROVING, then RELAXED. As Chris after the ramp, choose HESITANT, then RESTRAINED.

At the generator, Jaime must choose AGGRESSIVE ("Are you making a move on my girlfriend?"). This option only appears because Chris chose INSECURE earlier.

At the later boxcar crossing choose COMMANDING and pass the Robert-saving Skill Check, recording Jaime Saved Robert at 197/224.

In Stone's Lair inspect the jar and hatch, then choose SHOCKED and SURPRISED. This records the alternate relationship outcome at 198/224.

When Frank takes Chris, choose FLEE. Jaime survives but abandons the rescue, recording 199/224.

Continue forward.

In Chapter 6, solve the gate as before if required. During Stan's coin interaction choose MISCHIEVOUS and TAILS. This records the alternate result at 200/224.

Deliberately fail the later combat sequence to record the next branch at 201/224.

In Chapter 7, use APPRECIATIVE and PLAYFUL during the opening conversation.

When Stone first attacks Linda in the Wagon Shed, deliberately fail the camera defense. Let Linda be hooked instead of escaping.

This records the hooked route at 202/224 and changes Chapter 9 from Descent to Hunting Ground.

During the opening use SHOCKED, SKEPTICAL, DEFENSIVE, and ANGRY where those route choices appear.

At the Horologium, progress through the puzzle but deliberately fail both final button-mash attempts. Madi dies. This records the alternate Madi state at 203/224.

Later, when Linda searches Sam, choose POUCH. Pass the theft Skill Check and choose KEEP GUN.

This records Linda taking Sam's gun and reaches 204/224.

That gun must remain in Linda's timeline through Chapter 14 for Nothing Personal. Do not jump directly to an old Chapter 14 state later. Continue this changed timeline forward.

Because Linda was hooked in Chapter 7, Chapter 9 now uses the Hunting Ground branch.

During the first Yard run, deliberately fail the button mash and then fail the Skill Check so Jaime dies. This exposes the required death branch and should bring the count to 206/224.

Return to the Yard through the Cutting Room Floor, pass the initial button mash this time, and continue with Jaime alive long enough to preserve the alternate later branches.

First collect the remaining return-related branches before committing to Chris staying in 2024.

At the Horologium choose the response that has Chris insist on returning to 1980. Continue into Chapter 11 and successfully pass the combat sequence involving Chris and Jaime. This records the alternate reunion path and reaches 208/224.

Continue into Chapter 12 long enough for Linda's alternate confrontation, choose DEMANDING, then pass the combat sequence. This records the Stan Slapped branch at 209/224.

Now return to Chapter 10 HOROLOGIUM.

Keep Chris in 2024 using FEARFUL, “I don't think I can.”

When the Skill Check to save Stan occurs, deliberately fail it.

With Madi dead, Chris occupies the relevant Chapter 12 role.

When the pendant becomes available, have Chris TAKE the pendant for the upcoming death-route branch.

Continue into Chapter 13.

When Linda first has the opportunity to ward Stone away from Jaime, do not use the camera. Let Jaime die, recording the next branch at 211/224 if that state has not already propagated from Chapter 9.

When controlling Sam, pick up the camera but deliberately fail to use it against Stone during the first fatal confrontation. Allow Sam to die. This records Sam Died and the related weakened-Stone state.

During the subsequent Linda sequence, deliberately fail the required button mash. The timeline should now be at 214/224.

Sam appears in three eras. The 1963 Sam from Chapter 1 is the same man you control in 2024, while the middle-aged sheriff Sam of 1980 is a different version. The Sam who dies in Chapter 13 (1980) is therefore not the Sam in these Chapter 14 (2024) scenes, and the same split applies to young 1980 Linda and older 2024 Linda.

Frank will grab Chris. Deliberately fail the rescue button mash and choose BACK AWAY. Chris is consumed, recording 215/224.

Restart CURTAIN CALL from the current death timeline.

Fail the rescue button mash again, then choose SACRIFICE YOURSELF so Sam is consumed. This records 216/224.

As Linda, deliberately fail the final generator repair, fail the combat sequence, and fail the following Skill Check.

When Chris' pendant route resolves, choose PUSH THROUGH. Because Chris took the pendant, the attempted return burns her. This records 217/224.

Continue through the ending without saving anyone. The resulting Nobody Escaped and Woods states advance the total through 219/224.

Walk the final survivorless Frank viewpoint to the campfire and let the ending register. This records Nobody Survived at 220/224.

Four branches remain.

Return to Chapter 12 OBSERVATION using the second-route state where Madi is dead and Linda previously stole Sam's gun.

This time, when the pendant choice occurs, have Chris LEAVE the pendant.

Play continuously forward.

In Chapter 13, do not have Linda ward Stone away during the first relevant camera encounter.

As Sam, retrieve the camera but do not use it successfully during his first fatal confrontation. Allow Sam's death state to remain.
