There seem to be a few glitched achievements and achievements that unlock in the wrong order with the wrong achievement icons (compared to steam). I reached out to them on Twitter and sent them the issues I’ve had, having completed the game and not received 9 achievements, they have been super nice and say they’re looking into things.

Case 2
As Case 2 takes place in a library, there are a lot of books to read so I recommend just following my walkthrough for the case to make sure you get them all but if you're playing blind, here's a basic outline of things to remember.
- Just click bookshelves until the titles repeat, then you will know those books have all been read.
- Talk to the librarian at the beginning and ask her about Dooley's books. Also, look at the books
- Read all of the books on 2F and 3F before you view the microfilm in the viewmaster
- IMPORTANT!: Don't talk to Yeats or Crowley before you've read all of the horror books on 4F! (Don't forget the book cart as well)
- Once you've used the viewmaster on the microfilm but before you fix the elevator to get to 4F, look at the DIY books again just once for a new book
- You will get two books as inventory items. Look at them in your inventory before you use them.
If you've been looking at books as you go, you should unlock this when you look at the ritual book near the end of the chapter.
