How to unlock the Free Will achievement in Genesis Noir - Definitive Guide

*Story related achievement, can't be missed*

At the start interact with your arm and keep heading right, fix a statue and talk to a little man in front of you. At one point his dialogue stops and you need to click on him a few times to get a circle of flowers to appear around you. Collect the flowers and apply them to your hand. A new sequence starts where you need to run over all the white spots in the galaxy. NOTE: YOU NEED TO HOLD A TO BE ABLE TO PROGRESS TO FURTHER PARTS OF THE GALAXY. At certain points, a new sequence starts. One of them is an actual puzzle, another battle where the sequence is (left to right):
2,4
2,4,3
2,4,3,1

and a slider puzzle, top slider 5th tile from the left and bottom slider all the way to the right. Once all the white spots are cleared you progress further. Characters start to dance and you can hold A on them. I think it's optional. you appear in front of 4 doors, you need to go in every one of them, each door then splits into 3 sections. At the end of each section hit A to go back. Once you visit all 4 doors the story progresses. At this point, I jammed my controller against the table as I had a business to attend to. When I came back the achievement was unlocked.

The game is really buggy, if you feel stuck or want a full video walkthrough use the video below. Full credit goes to Brain5454

This is the most annoying sequence of any game I've played in ages. The background song is horrid and the mechanics are poorly conveyed to the user. I'm playing for free on game pass I still feel ripped off. Nothing against the person who wrote up this guide, just the studio that put out this half baked piece of garbage.

Yes Calex, it wasn't until a certain section where no matter where I stood the seed wouldn't make it into its intended spot. That's when I realized I could place the seeds of I held the A button, felt like an idiot.

@SoH Anarchy omg it's like reading my own notes. That's exactly what happened to me too. I usually stood 2ft to the left of the spot where I needed to drop the seed because that's where the seed would fall off my hand. When I realized it's drag and drop i did the biggest face palm

If you get stuck at the frame with the entity and no man sitting on the bench (after the annoying song) and can't proceed, just back in and out of the pause menu. You will then be able to rotate the camera and proceed.

The same pause menu trick applies to the 3 coloured doors where you have to hold A until the scene stops zooming.

The pause menu doesn’t work. I am also stuck at the frame, no way to move the screen. I had to quit, I will try again next time cause I am about to smash the pad against the tv. Worst game ever.

In what was perhaps, the worst "game" I've ever played, this achievement was bloody awful. It's so all over the place, I just wanted it to end..

@Zohan2099 funny how I could tell right away what game you were on about without looking at the name

@ CS1138 this game in a nutshell for me. Ambiguous puzzles / sections where you are given no clue as to what the game expects of you, like with the seeds and being able to place them by holding A early on. I don't need a game to hold my hand but I would like some clue as to what to do as opposed to mashing A and hoping for the best.

Can also confirm that this chapter is terrible. The song is annoying and you'd think they would've put save points during a long section like this but no, and the game is prone to getting stuck here. Had it freeze at the end of one of the door sections and was forced to restart all over again, then got stuck in an infinite loop during the end of "The Musician" section.
