Pediatrician's Bad Time Acheivement Help
I don't know how to get the tape (When You're Feeling Bad) back and I don't want to start the whole game over again. Is there a way to get the tape back at all without resetting everything? I already completed the game and everything so this is the last achievement I need

Unless you use a tool like Unity Explorer to spawn the tape you're missing, you're SOL without starting over. If you don't want to lose all your progress, you can back-up your save by copying your save from the directory "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\MangledMaw\Amanda The Adventurer 2" if you're on Windows and pasting it into a different folder. I'm not sure where this folder would be if you're using Wine on Linux or MacOS to run the game, so I cannot help you if this is the case. The save file is specifically called "save.sav", the log file isn't necessary and is only for reporting bugs to the devs. The save called "save_old.sav" if you're curious/confused is a failsafe save file from the previous autosave before the current save was created. You can think of it as an 'archive' save file if you will. This is a feature added in a patch for the first game because people's saves would sometimes get corrupted and they'd have to start over from the beginning.

And you have to start over to get the achievement you're after (without using a mod to spawn the tape you need of course) because Amanda 2 wasn't designed like how the first one was where nothing is missed permanently*. In Amanda 1, you could always backtrack to the tape or whatever else you needed to get the game's endings or in this case, the game's achievements.

*However in Amanda 2, there actually is a failsafe if you don't acquire the secret tape from the patience episode where you deliberately get all of Amanda's questions wrong. If you get the normal ending without the patience secret tape, it'll spawn the secret tape for said puzzle next time you load the game after the credits. And IIRC it also grants you the achievement for acquiring said secret tape but don't quote me on that. However like I stated above, no equivalent failsafe exists for the achievement you're after I'm sorry to say.

Thank you! I'll see if I can figure out what you've just said lol. I think I will just start over. Thank you again!! :)
