Overview
Noir Chronicles: City of Crime,100% achievement guide, collectables locations and complete video walkthrough earning all achievements and showing all mini-game puzzle, hidden object scene solutions and collectable locations.
Notes.
Noir Chronicles: City of Crime has a total of 20 Steam achievements, of these 8 are story related and the remaining 12 achievements are missable, as for completion time, this is in the region of 3-4 hours.
MAIN GAME.
- There are no achievements relating to difficulty in Noir Chronicles: City of Crime so select whichever suits your mood.
- While there is a tutorial, there are no achievements relating to playing with or without the tutorial.
- There are no achievements relating to the cut scenes, watch or skip as you wish.
- Do not skip any of the mini-game puzzles in the main game. There is an achievement for completing 5 puzzles without skipping and another for completing all the mini-game puzzles in the main game without skipping. There is also an additional achievement earned for completing one mini-game puzzle in less than 60 seconds.
- As for hidden object scenes, do not use hints for three of the scenes in the main game, this will net you the “Sharp Eye” and “Clueless” achievements. (It does not specifically state, 3 scenes in a row without hints, it is however best to err on the side of caution and just not use hints till both of these achievements pop.
There is no achievement related to completing all HOG’s without using a hint so once both “Sharp Eye” and “Clueless” have popped you are free to use hints if you wish. There are additional achievements to be earned playing the hidden object scenes, with one earned for finding 3 objects in a scene within 3 seconds, another for completing a scene with no mistakes, the third is earned by completing a scene in less than 60 seconds.
- Collectables, there are 33 collectables in the main game that take the form of 20 Footprints and 13 Handprints, there are 3 achievements relating to these collectables with one being earned for collecting your first collectable, one for locating all 20 Footprints and another for locating all 33 collectables.
BONUS CHAPTER.
- There are no specific achievements relating to the bonus chapter and sadly I am unable to confirm if any of the achievements can be unlocked within the bonus chapter as I had unlocked 100% achievements before the credits rolled at the end of the main game.

Achievement Guide.
*MISSABLE*
There are a total of 33 collectables to find during the main game (none in the bonus chapter) that take the form of 20 Footprints and 13 Handprints. Locating your first collectable will earn you this achievement. Screenshots for the location of all collectables can be found in the previous chapter of this guide, I have also added time markers in my video walkthrough for the location of all collectables.
*MISSABLE*
To earn this achievement simply complete one hidden object scene without using any hints.
*MISSABLE*
To earn this achievement you must locate three items on the list in a hidden object scene within 3 seconds. This is easily done, just sit back, locate three items on the list and then click on all three in quick succession.
*MISSABLE*
To earn this achievement you must complete one mini games in less than 60 seconds. If you want to get this achievement out of the way early or are worried about missing it, I have added time markers in my video walkthrough for all the puzzles if you want to prep yourself in advance.
Story related achievement.
*MISSABLE*
To earn this achievement simply complete 3 hidden object scenes without using a hint. Please note, this is a common achievement in hidden object games and sometimes, even though it does not say so, the achievement requires 3 scenes in a row without a hint to pop. As such I would advise playing the first three scenes without using a hint to get this out of the way early.
Once this achievement has popped you are free to use hints if you wish as there is no achievement for completing all scenes without using a hint.
Story related achievement.
*MISSABLE*
To earn this achievement simply complete 5 of the mini games during the main game without skipping, note that if you are trying to 100% Noir Chronicles: City of Crime, do not skip any of the 36 mini games during the main game (you are free to skip them in the bonus chapter if you wish).
Story related achievement.
*MISSABLE*
To earn this achievement you must complete 3 hidden object scenes in less than a total of 10 minutes. To further clarify, you need to complete three consecutively (one after the other) with a cumulative (total) time of less than 10 minutes.
Story related achievement.
*MISSABLE*
To earn this achievement you must complete one hidden object scene without making any mistakes. A mistake is clicking on anything in the scene that is not on the list at the bottom of the scene. This can be tricky as some items that you are required to locate are obscured by other items that must first be moved and there are also some items that have to be combined to make a whole.
There are just 16 scenes in the main game and I must confess I am unsure if this achievement can be earned in the bonus chapter, as such if you are in danger of missing this achievement, I have added time stamps for all hidden object scenes in my walkthrough should you want to prime yourself in advance.
*MISSABLE*
To earn this achievement you must complete one hidden object scene in less than 60 seconds. Again, I am unsure if this can be earned in the bonus chapter, as such if you are in danger of missing this achievement, I have added time stamps for all hidden object scenes in my walkthrough should you want to prime yourself in advance.
