Simple Achievements
This section covers achievements in YKMET Strade that you’ll likely unlock through casual play or with minimal effort. They’re straightforward and don’t require complex routing.
SORRY
Progress to the end of Night 3 without piquing Strade’s interest. This means avoiding provocative dialogue choices or actions that might draw his significant attention.
SODA
When Strade offers you a drink at the bar, simply ask him for a soda.
DEAD CLUB
This one’s easy: just die! Any death in the game will unlock this achievement.
BOTH
When Strade offers you the choice between the hammer or the drill, do not select either option. Instead, remain on the choice screen until the achievement pops.
PHOTOGRAPHER
Utilize the in-game camera to take a total of ten photos.
GOT AWAY WITH IT
On Day 3, when you have at least a yellow heart meter (indicating a certain level of relationship or condition), choose to attack Strade.
IBUPROFEN FOR BREAKFAST
- Stay silent when you first spot Ren.
- Be nice to Ren through your dialogue choices, encouraging him to show you his stash of painkillers.
- If your arms are not already unbound, ask, “Wait! Can’t you untie me?“
- Afterward, click on the drain again and take more painkillers.
SCREWED MOVE
- On Night 1, break your bindings.
- Take the knife from the drawer.
- Talk to Ren until the Knife icon appears on the right side of the screen.
TIRED FINGER
Initiate any Quick Time Event (QTE) in the game. During the QTE, try to consistently keep the progress bar past the halfway point. Be aware that maintaining it becomes harder if it drops too low.
PROFESSIONAL & NICE
Before the “Death Card” appears in the dialogue, create a save file. Then, continuously reload this save and intentionally die multiple times until the achievement unlocks.
COLLECTOR
Unlock all of the game’s endings. You can use community guides, or utilize in-game death tokens to unlock hints and walkthroughs if you get stuck.
MEMELORD
- Accumulate 50 death tokens.
- Use these tokens to purchase “MEMELORD MODE.”
- Finally, load up a new save file with MEMELORD MODE activated.
LIAR LIAR
To earn LIAR LIAR, you’ll need to consistently lie to Strade and play a deceptive role.
- Intro: “Yeah, they should be here soon.”
- Night 0: “yes” (this is your first lie)
- Night 1: Look in the top left corner (for Ren), then choose “Hey!“, followed by a Lie.
- Night 2: “Who are you?”, “Are you… like me, then?”, “How did you ended up like this?”, “Wait! Can’t you untie me?”
- Day 3: “Nothing! It just got loose by itself!”.

SECRET ACHIEVEMENTS
BLUE DREAM
- Get all 21 endings.
- As soon as you’re taken to the basement and the dialogue reads “The cloth in my mouth was pulled away,” create a manual save. This is your last chance to save before the game randomizes your dream – saving afterward won’t work.
- Skip through Night 0 and Day 1, then rest at the end of Night 1.
- Now reload this save until you trigger the river dream – this occurs randomly with a 1 in 7 chance.
