WARNING: Broken achievement because of a patch
SAFE BREAKER Achievement can't be unlocked on the current version of the game, you need to install an older depot of the game to unlock it.

The puzzle now solves automatically which not award the achievement.
General Information
Perfection time: ~3-4h max, could be 2h with a walkthrough.
Required walkthroughs: 1
Missable achievements?: Yes, 2 for sure, but I think theoretically that is 4.

Written walkthrough hints:
  • If you want to use an item you need to drag it from your inventory to the item where you want to use it so DRAG is a common word in the guide, so if it makes you confused then feel free to think that it means USE.
  • Capitalized words means that you need to get that item to your inventory at that point.

If you used the guide then please leave a feedback, a comment or:

Пятнистая Рысявка Jan 30, 2024 @ 5:37am 
Nah I don't think they will, its a mobile game coming to pc after all.
Why did you even play this game lol? I thought it is only appealing to russians, familiar faces, alcoholics, cars, forests, villages etc. Very familiar.

Also this Casper guy lol, mad for no reason. I always find Vodka jokes mildly amusing, not offensive at all, just as I call french people froggers or whatever, not aiming to offend anyone, just a joke
Csontzuzo  [author] Jan 30, 2024 @ 5:25am 
That is a bad news, as i see game was updated on 9th January, previously you needed to change the horseshoes manually, hopefully developer will fix this soon.
Пятнистая Рысявка Jan 30, 2024 @ 5:20am 
Yep it is

Help for iPad players: magnify a spot on the screen and only then select stuff from inventory. Otherwise you can't move them there or combine them. Took me ages...

Russia was under prohibition law from 1914 to 1925 actually. Started as an effort to keep the army from having to deal with drunken soldiers. After that, there were another 3 major anti-alcohol campaigns: started in 1958,1972, and 1985. The last one was something of a partial prohibition. The sale of alcohol was restricted in terms of amount and time of day and public drunkenness was a prosecutable offense.
"Ha ha the Russians are alcoholics" is not that funny of a joke if the stereotype is both setup and punchline. Stick to walkthroughs.
