Thank you for the work on this. Got through the game really quick with this.

Should probably say "second drawer" instead of top shelf. I thought you meant the white shelf, which had a different birthday card.

There was also a "jackalope statue" on the white shelf that's missing from your packing list. I didn't get the achievement or fade out until I packed this one.

There were times the directions were a little vague or missing details, but the game is straight forward enough that it didn't really matter too much. I do want to mention a few things.

To get to the attic, you'll be prompted to find a hook in mom's room. It'll be in the cabinet ("armoire").
The suitcase in the attic is hidden behind a secret compartment. To access, you need to find a box covered with a sheet. When prompted, remove the sheet to get a cutscene revealing the compartment.

In the motel, going straight to the pills did nothing. Based on one of the guides, I had to text Francine on the phone first, then put the phone in my pocket. Then interact with the pills to get a prompt to text Francine. That made the achievement pop.

You forgot the jackolope first achievement when packing. Also attic hook step is not listed.

Motel - missing steps to text Francine before pills. Then putting phone in pocket. Then finish homework again after burger.

House Boat - missing step to get plank. Missing step where to find study key. Missing step to get mailbox key. That is all you need to do. You don't need to read all notes as you suggest.

All in all great guide. Just kidding a few key steps. Which added more time than needed. First guide. Hope you accept constructive criticism. Keep it up!

I have submitted an edited and updated version of the guide tonight to fix the following:

- Jackalope added as a collectible for the beginning achievement.
- More specific steps on how to get to the attic and how to find the box in the attic under the sheet.
- Specific steps on texting on the phone to enable the option to find the pills in luggage bag.
- Specific steps on the houseboat at the end involving the plank, study key & mailbox key.

Great thanks! It's not as simple as going to the van to get the screwdriver though, you need to get the van key from August's room first.

Great guide, thank you.

During the houseboat section, may want to specify that the bar is located on the front of the boat, down the ladder as I spent a good while looking for it. 😁

Just wanted to say thanks! Your walkthrough’s been a great companion while I played the game to make sure I didn’t miss any achievements.
