Intro: Tips and Tricks
Once on a Windswept Night is a Visual Novel that features RNG elements, sometimes you won't get the same outcome but you'll get them eventually after retrying a few times. However there are certain routes which will have a random chance of triggering a question or event with Lycoris, these will be listed accordingly. The time to 100% the game isn't certain because of these elements, however by looking at the code I decided to create a guide and try to help the achievement hunters

The game shouldn't take more than 1h to complete with the guide, hope I can help you! A very big thank you for the user Ghoulean for posting the game's script, thread can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/585880/discussions/0/133256240741701984/

Also I've added the achievement code so you can look for yourself in the script in case you're having problems with something, this was mostly done while cross-referencing information with my astats timestamps, steamDB's API names, and the entire game script, so I'm assuming mistakes did happen! Also thank you to the pals for helping in bits of the game, especially Chris Fifty-Two!

This is will be your very first achievement so let's get it out of the way:

PS: Doing this achievement may break the game completely! You may have to reset it in order to play it again. Case this happens, wipe your saves from your AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Once on a Windswept Night folder and the saves from the game installation folder (Steam\steamapps\common\Once on a Windswept Night\game\saves) too! Thanks for letting me know about it, Chris Fifty-Two and ^Kevin^

Most of the name achievements don't work anymore, only the flower ones. Other than that, thanks!

How to get name achievemens? I tap Lycors, ebi-hime and Roberta, but don't get it
Artemis.YT Dec 31, 2022 @ 7:34pm 
I think I figured it out.
Artemis.YT Dec 31, 2022 @ 5:25pm 
I'm stuck. I just finished Just In Time achievement but I can't load my save/recording. I can't forget and start over. The only thing I can do is continue and hit break to exit the game. I'm not sure where the appdata is located. I found the game saves but that alone didn't reset it.

Excellent Guide.
John Slegers Oct 17, 2022 @ 6:19pm 
Quitting at any time during "Lycoris' Story" seems to trigger the "Just in time" achievement upon restart
