How to unlock the Expert Storyteller achievement in Late Shift - Definitive Guide

While this achievement says to 'Watch' all seven endings, you do not need to actually watch them. It is possible to get all endings in one playthrough, if you do all of the 'bowl' endings first (like the order I have them). As soon as the achievement pops for the required ending, you can pause and quit out. When you resume the game, it will be before the decision that determines the ending, so you can choose the other set of options.
Although I recommend enjoying the game at least once with no guide and watching the endings all the way through, here is the fastest way to get all of the ending achievements, as well as the one for 'seeing' all 7 of them.
The 7 endings with how to get them are below (There may be other ways, but this is how I got them):
- Choose not to fight, so you go to the hospital - Choose Hainsworth's if given a choice.
- After Hospital, in the auction house...
- Talk to receptionist or go upstairs.
- Going upstairs is faster, as you mention mr. quinn, and get right to the elevator.
- If you talk to the receptionist, say you are there to pick up, and you don't have docs, and you want to talk to someone upstairs.
- Once in the elevator, go up
- When the guy confronts you at the computer, Continue to find the location
- Go down the elevator
- Carpark, and Act Normal
- Go instead of Hide
The specific ending requires the additional special decision below. Once it pops, pause, quit, and resume...or play through the game again, your choice:
When the calls come from May-Ling, continue to ignore them.
The Secret Achievement achievement in Late Shift worth 41 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement
When May calls, answer, and choose Tchois.
The Secret Achievement achievement in Late Shift worth 41 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement
When May calls, answer, and choose Parr. Toss the bowl to Parr.
The Secret Achievement achievement in Late Shift worth 37 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement
When May calls, answer, and choose Parr. Place the bowl on the table.
The Secret Achievement achievement in Late Shift worth 38 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement
You can get to the last set of endings many ways. You can follow the steps above, but fail to find the location at the auction house, or go straight to Parr's. The main thing is to not be in possession of the bowl, and do the extra steps listed below.
At Parr's, open the safe yourself. Don't accept the offer.
The Secret Achievement achievement in Late Shift worth 33 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement
At Parr's, open the safe yourself. Accept the offer.
The Secret Achievement achievement in Late Shift worth 35 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement
At Parr's, Let him open the safe. Shoot him.

Haven't played this yet, but it kinda bums me out to know that it's possible to see all the outcomes in one play. Kinda like do the decisions we make actually make a difference?

the only reason you can see them all is because as soon as the achievement pops you can quit and resume further back into the game and do something else...you could just play the ending all the way through, and it would change some things...There are a couple of key points in the game, but they all return to one of the 7 endings. This is just for the people that want to get them all as quick as possible.

There is a total of seven endings to the game and normally, the only way to view them all is by making choices that lead to these endings. This means you'd be required to do at least 7 playthroughs in order to watch all 7 endings. However, there is a method that you can do in order to watch all these endings by doing only 1 single playthrough. To do this 1 playthrough method, all you need to do is make the correct choices that lead to an ending and then once the trophy unlocks for it, you need to press
, select "Exit Game" then"Resume Game". This will put you back at the start of the last chapter you were on and from here, you can select a different choice that leads to another ending. Rinse and repeat this at least 7 times and you will still get credit for watching all seven endings.
I highly recommend that you use the Late Shift ~ Platinum Walkthrough in order to know when you have to "Exit Game" and "Resume Game". If you choose to do all 7 playthroughs it'll take you 8-10 hours. A Playthrough method for that can also be found within the thread.
If you choose not to follow a walkthrough guide, it's possible to miss this trophy as you might obtain all other trophies but only get 5 or 6 endings instead of all 7. This can cause you to do an extra playthrough if you don’t unlock it within the 2 or 7 playthrough methods.

Corrupt, SwissGameGuides
You don’t actually need to watch the whole endings for this one, just start them. If you are following the above guide then you will need to cut a bunch short to avoid extra playthroughs.
Follow the forum guide by SwissGameGuides for all the achievements in less than two playthroughs. It can be found here.
