Help needed for Rulebender and Egg achievements
If anyone has some advice to get the Rulebender and Egg achievements, I'd appreciate it.

I figure Rulebender probably has to do with defying Fate's edicts (such as changing the number of people he wants to live/die)

The Egg achievement refers to some kind of Easter Egg. Maybe it comes from having the Ron Gilbert clone to live, but I don't know.

Rulebender requires that you never hit the asked number of profiles that Fate states in his letter.

The Egg is very secret :)

Not necessarily. You have up to 3 chances to either let everyone live and 3 chances to kill everyone before Fate...dismisses...you from service.

However, if you just increase/decrease the number of lives/deaths (not matching what Fate wants) you will get reprimanded which means no money for that day.

so Im also stuck on the Rulebender achievement. I just tried to get it and it didnt work. My issue is on the days when Fate is like "just do whatever" or "go with your gut" for some of those i would just spare everyone or kill everyone, but you can only do that like 3 times before you get fired. Plus i get confused on some of the other days where its like kill every other person, i worked out that would mean kill four people, so i made sure to only kill like 3 people, but im not sure if that worked or not.

There are some days where Fate doesn't look at what you're doing. You can just pick some to live and some to die, like for the "go with your gut". If in doubt, mark everyone to die. You have 3 chances to do that which should most of the time be enough.

Im stuck on egg and demon hunter now. I got the last ending while i was attempting to get another one lol

For Demon Hunter, find the profile of someone who is a part-time scholar, part-time engineer, and part-time musician. Doom him every time he appears .

Still clueless about Egg though. I thought it might have something to do with Day 14 when Fate says, "Papers, please" , but alas…

I feel like I'm in a secret club knowing what Egg really is.

Unfortunatley that doesn't mean I've gotten lucky enough to get it.

[pounding fists on table] tell us. tell us. tell us.
I had a feeling it had to do with the "Nothing is more certain in life then" dialogue but it hasn't yielded any results.

Edit: But that is still a cool easter egg, pause and you'll get a different pause screen after choosing one of the other options beside "Death and Taxes" or "don't know it."
