Thank You so much for the "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" Achievement Hanni

[MaV3Rick_83]

Thank you for the guide. Was missing a couple of achievements.

For me the Let The Wind Blows achievement was unlocked after I replayed chapter 2... because I didn't even notice the windows on my first playthrough.

[Hanni]

You are welcome! And yeah it unlocks in chapter 5. In chapter 2 is progress only.

Thanks for the guide. I just want to add that Let The Wind Blows achievement didn't work for me on chapter 2 but it worked on chapter 5 instead.

[Hanni]
