You have to blame every death on the captain - which is a ton of work since you have to unlock every memory (since you can't fill in a fate beforehand) but not lock in any actual fates that the captain didn't actually do. You'll need to start a new game to get this.

I did this blamed every death on the captain but still didn't get the achievement, started a new game and everything

I will note that I had issues until I gave everyone a name and blamed the captain for every death EXCEPT his own death, which gets classified as a suicide instead of 'shot by a gun by Robert Witterel'

I got it putting a random identity on all people, saying the were all axed to death by the captain, except the captain himself commited suicide. That popped the achievement.

Ah, went through it again and I had 3 unknowns rather than 2- should have double checked!

I was sure to put "noose," though. Didn't want to have any correct fates on there.

I put "eaten" for the rest.

So, wait, do you have to say that everyone, including those who are actually alive, were killed by the captain?
If so, then that might be why I failed to get it on my second run.

Thanks. That sounds kinda tedious.

I'm curious: does this give you an actual ending, or just an achievement?

I believe the letter at the end changes based on how many fates you get correct, but other than that, you don't specifically get a unique ending for saying the captain killed everyone.

No unique ending, just the achievement, as far as I'm aware it gives you the same ending as the abandon ship achievement, with the exception of the insurance papers being slightly different. I had the first three fates correct (From the End) when I did this, so I don't think that matters as long as everyone is dead by the captain (it doesn't matter how) then you will get this achievment. You may or may not need to name everyone (correctly or not) for this.

I had a good chuckle at that. Well done.

Speedrunner here. The minimum amount of effort needed to get the achievement:

You do not need to identify anyone except the Captain
All fates should be unknown: killed by the captain (I use clubbed by the captain for optimal mouse movement)
The captain himself I believe needs to be suicide by any method.
nothing works, I tried to identify everyone with fake names and EVERYONE IS KILLED BY R.WITTEREL , I used a lot of ways to die, I also than made their real names, I also set every person to unknown, I made captain suicide, I also discovered a bug where you can set up a NAME eaten by NAME - everything doesnt work, I cannot get this achievement

thanks

After you set everyone's names you have to get back on the boat and trigger the credits.
