Special Thanks
I'd like to thank 'Gross' for helping me find some of these 'Dead Ends', to 'SolidState' for reminding me about the 2 missing 'dead ends' and to 'Fx2TheGoldenWarrior' for helping me with the "Foolish Fantasy dead end".
Playing With Fire
Light the furnace up using the lighter and walk towards the fire.
Wrong Door
In the backrooms, walk to the door on the right (the door that leads to the area behind the front desk (the area where people return books)).
Feed Me, Mitch!
Attempt to grab the library card from the plant.
The Cutting Edge
Attempt to break the vending machine using the fire extinguisher.
The Reassuring Statistic
Attempt to use the rope on the vending machine.
Untimely Demise
Attempt to use the rope on the clock.
Easy Prey
Step on a bear trap set by the eye monster.
Unwanted Guest
Try to interact with the eye monster before a chase starts.
High and Dry
Step on the rope trap set by the eye monster.
Wire Snake Food
Get eaten by the wire snakes in the room under the trap door.
Conductive, but Not Productive
Attempt to cut the colored wires without pluging them out on the other side (computer room, audio room & VHS room).
Poor Craftsmanship
Attempt to climb down the ladder revealed under the trap door without using a rope.
Iron Mitch
Get chewed by the sleeping monster in the hidden room right next to the toy room.
Foolish Fantasy
Before climbing up the ladder on ENDING 2, go right to the road with the broken car. Keep going until eventually it'll come down and run Mitch over..
This is the End, Friend
Get caught by Jackie (in ENDING 2).
Waiting to long in the cold means...
When you start a new game, skip the cutscene and go past the car to reach the exterior part of the library.
Then don't do anything and just wait for an hour. Eventually you'll freeze to death and get the achievement.
Sugar Rush
Go to the audio room and give Bepis cans to the hole in the wall 5 times.
Hands Outstretched
Attempt to take the handle from the doll by force.
Nowhere to climb
Attempt to hide in the room under the trap door while being chased (needs to have rope).
Surrogate Reaper
Get caught by the static monster during a chase.
Replacement Parts
Take too long while doing the 2nd part of the puppet puzzle in Pietro's play.
Might have to switch around between your body and the puppet for a few times.
Eye on the Prize
Attempt to climb the ladder without using the hot kettle.
Lunch Thief
Attempt to eat the employee's lunch.
War Flashbacks
Put the toy block in the stove (in the kitchen).
Premature
Hide in the coffin (in the VHS room) during a chase.
Anti-Bullying PSA
Force mitch to look at the rope over and over again (without taking it).
♥♥♥♥♥♥ Way to Go
Use the toilet and go out without washing your hands.
Entomophobia
Get eaten by a bug (in the basement where the fortune teller is).
Previously was possible to obtain through other means but they were removed.
Hole
Stick your hand in the small hole in the audio room
Rat in a Maze
Get caught during the chase sequence after getting the summer reading ticket

Do you have to do them all on the same save file? I swear I've done all of them, and I don't have the achievement.

You can use them if you'll credit me and add links to the original guides in your walkthrough.

Do you mind if I use information (not direct text!) of your two guides for a walktrough I'm writing? (I'll obviously credit you and link back to them)

You're welcome :steamhappy:

I see. I will correct that. Thank you.

In the graveyard, the Grave that was previously vacant only gained a tape after I got that Dead End. And the name on it was foolish fantasy

I FOUND FOOLISH FANTASY
The tape cannot be replayed but I found it. Spoilers ahead.
Set up ending 2, but instead of climbing the ladder after getting the kettle, walk to the lower right corner of the courtyard. Go along the road you see and the car on it will end up hitting you, giving you the Dead End. Foolish Fantasy means that its FOOLISH to try and leave the way. Or that it was a fantasy to leave without seeing Jackie. I dunno. But I found it! And got my achievement

So you can't get it? Then how do I get the Find All Dead Ends achievement? I have every other achievement but I can't find anything else to do

There's a different guide for ending 3. You should check it out.
The tape has nothing to do with the achievement though. You're probably looking for the "Waiting to long in the cold means..." dead end, which is listed here.
Foolish Fantasy cannot be 'obtained' or 'replayed'.
