How to unlock the Collector achievement in Modern Tales: Age of Invention - Definitive Guide

No credit to me, just a link to another great guide by Catnip over on the Steam Community forums.

Like many other Artifex Mundi games this one does have multiple points-of-no-return. So you will want to make sure you grab all the atomic symbols on each screen the first time you visit it.

One note: Some screens will require that you speak to the characters there first, or interact with a specific object on the screen before you can interact with the background/pick things up. This is always safe so go ahead.

Yes, this is a good guide. I finished the game and was at 29/30 collectibles. Started a new game and thankfully, the tracker remains where you left of. With the help of this guide, was only like 25% through my new game when I found the missing one, and pop went the achievement :-)

Most of the games achievements are obtained through natural story progression with some associated with playing the mini games. You can play the game on casual difficulty but make sure you do not skip the mini games or use hints during your playthrough.

During my playthrough I encountered a problem with unlocking the achievement for beating a hidden object game in under 1 minute. To solve this I quit the game, went into the manage options and deleted my save data for the game and relaunched it. The achievement immediately unlocked on the title screen. If this happens to you wait until you finish the rest of the achievements before using this method.

Here is a full video walkthrough:

There are 30 atom symbols to find, one on each screen. They're somewhat transparent but at least they don't fade in and out of the screen, and hovering over them will show a "pick" option.

In the order they can be obtained:

  1. Pavilion – In the balloon in the background between the two men
  2. Paris Street – In top of the lamp post above the bike
  3. Apartment – At the base of the tank near the red curtain
  4. Eiffel Tower – In the back wheel of the car
  5. Automobile – On the dashboard, below and right of the steering wheel
  6. Path – On the smaller left rock, left of the skull mosaic puzzle
  7. Mansion – On the left side of the gazebo
  8. Balloon – Between window and picture on right
  9. Sidetrack – At the end of the tracks closest to the front of the screen, behind a plant
  10. Station – On the gold band of the train chimney
  11. Platform – In window of right-most car of train
  12. Waiting Room – Top of left window, just under the clock
  13. Town – On red roof of house behind the pillar
  14. Shop – Left of the anchor sign, on some garlic
  15. Port – Base of the crane left of the red building
  16. House – In the animal head left of the pictures
  17. Hangar – In the grating/pipes on the left bridge, directly under the stairs
  18. Workshop – On the side of the stand the plant is on, directly left of the open door
  19. Lab – Just right of the left vent/grating atop the stairs
  20. Airship – On the pipe above and right of the steering wheel
  21. Crash Site – On one of the beams on the left, just left and above the trunk
  22. Destroyed Airship – Just right of the man, under a broken window (must light room first)
  23. Camp – In the branches of the left tree
  24. River – At the base of the right tree

*Missable*

There are a total of 30 collectibles in the game, and they look like little pictures of atoms. Once you know what you're looking for, they're pretty easy to spot. Every scene has one collectible to find. Since there are multiple points of no return, I highly recommend following a collectible guide. An excellent Steam guide complete with screenshots can be found HERE. Keep it open while you play and make sure you grab the collectible in every scene.
