Achievement Commitment Guide
By forSpeach
In order to get this achievement you just need to:

1) Set your time to 23:58, Monday.
2) Launch the game.
3) I'm not sure about starting to play, but I did.
4) Then you should set your computer to go into hibernation mode.
5) Turn off and then turn on the computer.
6) But don't boot into the system, go into the BIOS.
7) Change the system time to about 23:57, Tuesday.
8) Save, exit and boot into the system.
9) Play a game a bit and enjoy getting an achievement!

If you have some problems, feel free to ask me.

Helpful tips (if guide doesn't work for you)
  • Make sure to turn sync with Windows (or other) time servers off in Date/Time settings. Depending on the speed of your computer (and the last time it synced) that may throw things off. Windows can correct your time almost instantly, before you are able to switch back into the game. After turning time sync off the guide should work.

  • If you are having trouble getting hibernate to work on Windows Vista, 7, 8, or 8.1 try going to power options - change plan settings - change advanced power settings - Expand "Sleep" - Set "Enable Hybrid Sleep" to off .
    If that doesn't do the trick open an administrator command prompt and type: powercfg -h on
Big thanx for these tips to comp9

Thank you so much!!!
Also, n2k, thanks to you too! I finally managed to get this achievement thanks to you two and your input!

I can confirm it for Win10, it works.
Just change your date and time setting manually for the first time by right-clicking on the time and date -> change date/time -> deactivate 'automatic time/date setting', then on the right side click on 'chance date/time setting' -> click on it again and then click on 'set date and time'. Just follow these steps and the rest of the steps mentioned by n2k and forSpeach and you should also get it.

Thanks again, another game 100%ed!

Thanks for the guide, this still works.

Here's some feedback:
I just tested, step 3 is not required, no need play as Stanley, being in the menu is enough.

And here's a good tip to easily into the BIOS from Windows (replaces steps 4-6):

1. Press [Win] + X to open the context menu of the Start button
2. Now press A to open Windows PowerShell in Administrator mode (click Yes if a prompt appears)
3. Type shutdown /h /fw and press Enter

Step 3 will immediately hibernate your PC. When the PC is fully off, press the power button or any key on your keyboard to boot it again. It will automatically enter the BIOS. Now you can change your time and boot back into Windows, open the game backup and wait a bit to Wednesday midnight to get the achievement.

See my achievements with less than 24 hours of playtime.

Or, wait 'til Christmas break, and leave the game on for the entirety of that Tuesday.
