How to unlock the Understanding achievement in Somerville - Definitive Guide

Hints on the language can be discovered by finding and interacting with the orbs you find for the Close Encounters Achievement.

For those that don't want to bother figuring it out:

At the Hand Holding section complete the following responses:

Blue Red Blue
Blue Blue Blue Purple Purple Purple
Blue Blue Blue Red Purple Purple
Blue Blue Blue Red Purple Purple Red Red Red

Note: You need to fully light up the circle of people and then move on to the next color as quickly as you can for each response to work (you don't need to match their slow response)

Then Just walk to your family and through the door.

EDIT: Thanks to ZyablikRus for the missing Crucial Step (3rd response)

EDIT 2: (Pattern Thanks to RAD90)
Some people have been unable to get it to work with the above and instead used:

BRB
BBBPPP
BBBRPP
PPPBPP

Unsure if this is because the "language" has changed, if it's because of taking different actions, or if it's just easier to repeat a single letter pattern instead of fully written colors...

Not sure what you are disappointed about, if you know anything about the creators of the game then it should be just as you expected.

I mean, could it have been better? Of course, but it's hard to live up to self hype.

After the first sequence I get the house and it doesn’t matter if I complete the rest of the sequences correctly, I don’t get this achievement. I don’t get what I am doing wrong.

@Poia The house Shows up either if you respond Purple, Purple, Purple by itself, or if you screw up too many times. (holding down purple until the house disappears will often allow you to start communicating again)

When making your responses, make sure you fully charge the circle of people before letting go, and that there isn't too large a gap between each choice.

Done. At some point they finally decided to answer correctly to my input instead of showing up the house. I guess is all about the rhythm on how you press the buttons. Thanks.

If you enter the last sequence and nothing happens wait for them to reply and enter it again. Worked for me.

Poia I see you got it in the end did you figure out the problem? I've tried 5 times now and the house shows up every time on my second sequence. Thanks

Edit: ok I figured it out In the end. I was doing it far too slow. I was trying to match their pace but in reality you just do the sequence really quick.

What a PITA!

Worked first time. Thanks for the guide. For others struggling with this achievement always hold the corresponding trigger (blue, red, purple) until there is a little ball of white light opposite to you, like a flash (meaning you have reached the full circle of people) and then move onto the next colour.

Huge shout out to Mr SpinelesS & ZyablikRus for making this achievement guide possible.

This can be earnt at the very end of the game in Chapter 14. Where you have to solve a Simon Says puzzle. Head up to the top of the hill and hold hands with the circle of people (hold cn_X). You can copy the first sequence as they announce it but for the remaining three sequences, please follow the colour response guides below:

Sequence #1 - Blue, Red, Blue
Sequence #2 - Blue, Blue, Blue, Purple, Purple, Purple
Sequence #3 - Blue, Blue, Blue, Red, Purple, Purple
Sequence #4 - Blue, Blue, Blue, Red, Purple, Purple, Red, Red, Red

Blue = cn_LT
Red = cn_RT
Purple = cn_LT+cn_RT

Once complete walk to your family and through the door. This will give you the true ending and the Understanding achievement for finishing the game with diplomacy.
