How to unlock the Liberty. achievement in Ord. - Definitive Guide
This can be obtained from the "Foul Things." mode under "Stories."
There are sections of this mode that are linear and always happen in a certain order, while other sections have multiple different prompts that occur randomly. For that reason, it's impossible for me to know if I'm covering all of the possibilities, but I will address those that I encountered.
In certain situations, there are multiple actions that will work, but for the most part I'll just be saying the specific actions I used. Example: in the second room when you have to hide, it doesn't seem to matter whether you hide behind the crate or the racks, but I'll be giving the specific choices I used to complete this.
Also, this is unfortunately pretty long, so if you encounter a scenario that I did not and have to restart, I apologize. Please feel free to contribute in the comments with any useful information, and I will add to the solution and give credit.
The following template will be used:
"Prompt." > "What I selected."
Awaken. > Rise.
You then start in a room. Don't interact with/use anything other than the bucket or brick in the wall. (Don't Drink from the bowl, don't Squeeze through the window, don't wear the blanket, etc.)
There are two ways to get out of the room, either:
Bucket. > Carry.
Bars. > Bucket.
Rusty. > Pry.
Opening. > Lower.
Or:
Wall. > Examine.
Inspect. > Brick.
Brick. > Remove.
Rat. > Brick.
Dead. > Leave.
Hole. > Search.
Key. > Door!
Either way, you'll then be in a cellar. You encounter the door, crate, and racks in a random order. Ignore the crate, inspect the racks and take the bottle (there's a torch under the crate, but you can't carry both and you need the bottle).
Example of cellar "run-through":
Cellar. > Look.
Door. > Listen.
Crates. > Push.
Torch. > Leave.
Racks. > Take.
Regardless of the order you encountered those, it returns to a linear portion now:
Noise! > Where?
Unlocking! > Hide!
Where? > Racks!
Racks. > Behind!
Door. > Watch...
Escape? > Run!
Almost! > Bottle!
Light! > Squint...
Kitchen. > Smell?
Chef... > Huge!
There's now a handful of different things you can encounter at random. After dying a couple of times here, I found it best to not interact or use anything when possible.
Examples:
Tile. > Examine.
Weapon? > Leave. (Pry. make you cut yourself and bleed out.)
Mousetrap! > Sigh.
Meat. > Inspect.
Hungry... > Poke.
Those are the ones I encountered, there might be more. Eventually you'll get a prompt for either Freezer. or Sinks. Some play-throughs I only had to do one, sometimes I had to do both with some of the randomized events between, and sometimes I had to do the Freezer twice, so it's pretty random. You'll know you're done with this cycle when you get the Chef. prompt to Sneak. or Avoid.
If Freezer. then:
Freezer. > Behind.
Noises? > Check.
Hide! > Behind!
If sinks then:
Sinks. > Water?
Noises? > Check.
Hide! > Water!
Submerged. > Stay.
Washing... > Stay.
Wiping... > Stay.
Stillness... > Stay.
Panic! > Surface!
Safe... > Smell.
When done with that loop:
Chef. > Sneak.
Under? > Knives.
Precarious... > Slowly...
SHIIING! > Run!
Exit! > Run!
Spillage! > Around!
Unnoticed. > Breathe.
Corridor. > Look.
Exits. > East.
Door. > Open.
Nursery. > Moonlight?
Nurse! > Freeze!
Carrying... > Blankets?
Baby... > Strange...
Crib. > Baby?
We're now back to a randomized part. Since I played this less than the kitchen section, I probably didn't encounter all of the possibilities.
It turns out the nurse is blind, so if you are prompted to run or freeze, it worked for me to freeze. You're done with the randomized part when you're prompted to go Under. or Inside. the Cribs.
Toys. > Look.
Inspect. > Teddy.
Comforting... > Take.
Desk. > Drawer.
Handle. > Leave.
Box. > Look.
Stopped! > Leave.
Nurse. > Examine.
In one of my play-throughs, I got cornered near the crib, the baby started crying, and I got caught. I didn't have the teddy-bear in that play-through, and I have a feeling if I did it might have stopped the baby from crying, but that's just a guess. I haven't ended up in that scenario since then.
Eventually, you'll get to:
Cribs. > Under.
Gap. > Inspect.
Enter? > Crawl.
Forward. > Webs.
Spider! > Watch.
Webs. > Through.
Exit... > Breathe.
Lucky... > Peek.
Door. > Open! (Note that this is Open! and not Open..., I never tried the latter so I'm not sure if it works or not.)
Lounge. > Inspect.
Hidden... > Watch.
Leaving... > Where?
Gone. > Listen.
Now another randomized portion. The following is what I encountered. Again, there might be more possibilities. For this achievement, you need to encounter the "Baths." prompt, though it doesn't always show up. If you don't get the Baths. prompt and have not yet gotten the Fraternal achievement or Usurper achievement, you can continue onward and go for those endings/achievements and try for Liberty on the next play-through.
Armchair. > Search. (Armchair. is needed for the Usurper. achievement, but it seems to be more common than the Baths. prompt.)
Cosy... > Leave.
Door. > Listen.
Gramophone. > Leave.
Bookcases. > Search.
Books. > Hardback.
Hardback. > Return.
Baths. > Enter.
Warm. > Key?
Within the Baths. section, the next four are randomized but all seem to happen every time. Eventually you need to pursue the key.
Towels. > Behind.
Nothing. > Above?
Rafters. > Sturdy?
Aquarium. > Fish.
Piranhas? > Weird...
Poolside. > Monster.
Sleeping. > Water.
Inspect. > Contents.
Ravenous... > Monster.
Sleeping. > Water.
Inspect. > Surface.
Bergs... > Leave.
Showers. > Taps.
Turn. > Cold.
Key... > Pursue.
How? > Pool.
Poolside. > Bergs.
Hop. > Carefully.
Monster... > Asleep?
Key... > Grab!
Flee! > Run!
Hop. > Quickly!
Poolside! > Run!
Door. > Shut.
Banging... > Wait.
You'll now be back in the lounge, with the possibility of some of the random lounge prompts before getting to the next linear section at Stairs.
Stairs. > Inspect.
Examine. > Upstairs.
Ascend. > Slowly.
Hallway. > Look.
Another randomized portion. I didn't encounter much here, so there's probably more possibilities. There's another achievement you could get here, depending upon whether you get the "Dresser." prompt. End of randomized portion is when you get prompt for "Doors."
Dresser. > Search.
Search. > Shelf.
Telephone! > Dial.
Number? > Operator. (Operator achievement.)
Storeroom. > Leave.
Back to linear portion:
Doors. > Feel.
West. > Listen.
Door. > Unbolt.
East. > Listen.
Door. > Open.
North. > Listen.
Lodging. > Look.
Cupboard. > Open.
Suits. > Big.
Coatrack. > Inspect.
Umbrella. > Take.
Window. > Key! (This is the key you worked so hard to obtain in the Baths. section.)
Open! > Climb!
Raining... > Smile.
The final randomized section for this play-through. I used the vines to climb down, though there might be another way.
Chimney. > Examine.
Guttering. > Shake.
Guttering. > Avoid.
Slate. > Avoid
Vines. > Test.
Down... > Trellis.
Ground. > Run.
Dogs! > Run!
Forest! > Tree!
Climb! > Quickly!
Trapped. > Wait.
Dogs. > Ignore.
Alone. > Descend.
Forest. > Walk. (This finally unlocks the "Liberty" achievement.)
I hope this helps someone, as it was very frustrating to play through. (It's very unforgiving how frequently you can get "End." and have to start over.)
If you have any suggestions how I can better organize this to be more readable, let me know. Otherwise, happy gaming!

Oh man, I got bath and dresser in the same playthrough, so thank you VERY much for pointing out the other achievements. Would've been very frustrating if I had to do multiple playthroughs for things I could've gotten in the first one :)

I got this first try using this guide. Must have taken you ages to put this together. Thank you!
