Part way though for some reason i seemed to get a bug that prevented me from getting more achievemnts hope it gets fixed adn I make more walkthroughs.
Second playthrough:
note: it turns out you get the new achievements after starting a new game. After starting a new game i got achievements: first time is the charm, speed demon (stragnely), forever sober, self sacrifice (strangely), an angel, sneaky bastard (strangely) and technophobe, so lets begin the second playthough.
I started out with getting the gearheart. for gear lover achievement.
The short guy has a battery and seeks a color camera.
on deck a behind a gears gate leads to two vents
one room has a clue hidden in the vents.
Game play does seem to vary for different pick ups and other stuff and i might have difficulty trying to get that achievemnt to be unfriendly enough to not speak to me or maybe it is later.
NOte: availability of clues and items seems to differ from gameplay. There also may be a bug preventing notifications of achievements from being gotten and seen at least maybe until the new game is played. If i find anything else walkthrough worthy i’ll add it here.
