"V is for Vegan - Finish the story without losing" Achievement

[Sunflower]

I love this game so much that this is the last achievement I have left after just shy of 20 hours.

I just wanted to get clarification on what it means to 'finish the story without dying' before I start a new save over and over again. When my house is destroyed, it's not exactly permadeath as the 'run' continues regardless of you 'dying' / your house being lost and the option you pick after you lose the round doesn't restart your run.

Are people meant to start a new save every time they die, start from the beginning, and can't under any circumstance lose their house until they've defeated all the bosses in order to get this achievement?

Also, on the note of starting a new save. It would be nice if there was an option to turn off or skip the tutorial / information pop-ups that appear in the first week. As someone that's played the game for some hours now, it's a little irritating.

Thanks! :)

Hello!

That's so awesome to hear, thank you for the kind words - we're really glad you're enjoying your time with Voltaire!

Regarding the achievement, yes, it does imply playing the game all the way up to defeating Dracula without ever having your house destroyed, and your assumption is also correct - starting a new save will allow you to attempt the achievement as many times as you'd like.

It can be quite hard to achieve as it does require a fair bit of familiarity with the game to pull off, but it's definitely intended as an extra challenge for our most avid veggie-lovin' vampires.

Let us know if you manage to pull it off - we'd love to share in the celebration :D
Good luck!

Edit: Oh and thank you for your feedback, we will definitely add your request for skippable tutorials to our list!

Thank you so much for confirming! I now have peace of mind that I'm attempting the achievement correctly.

I'd love to update you once I get the achievement. I'm currently keeping track of how many attempts it takes me, not including the first play through of the story, so I can see how long it takes.

Awesome, thank you so much. That would make restarting a run so much more pleasant.

It seems you weren't able to get this achievement yet :(. This achievement is the one that scares me away from this awesome-looking game.

Admittedly, I haven't been playing this much since just because I've been putting attention into a lot of other games.

The achievement shouldn't scare you away from the game because it is a really enjoyable one. If anything it should push you to be determined and committed to overcoming the difficulties presented in it by building strategies and deeply understanding the game and its mechanics. There is no better feeling then getting that really difficult last achievement from a game and feeling super accomplished.

If you think the game looks fun, you should get it!

Hi! Sorry I know this thread is old I just bought the game. Does going past 100 on the hunger level and passing out count as losing as well? Or is it only when you lose the house?
