PC Companion Achievements Guide: How to Unlock All Trophies

Overview of PC Companion Achievements

PC Companion offers a unique achievement system that tracks your relationship with your digital companion. Unlike traditional games, many achievements here are tied to real-time interactions, system events, and hidden triggers rather than combat or levels. The game features 24 achievements in total, including 18 standard achievements and 6 secret ones. Most achievements are earned naturally through play, but a few require specific actions or discovery of the game’s hidden mechanics.

Progression and Relationship Achievements

These achievements are tied to your companion’s growth and your bond with her. They are the most straightforward to unlock through regular gameplay.

• First Hello – Launch the game for the first time. Unmissable.
• Growing Together – Reach bond level 5 with your companion.
• Close Companion – Reach bond level 10.
• Best Friends Forever – Reach bond level 20.
• Digital Heartbeat – Spend 24 total real-time hours with the game running.
• Night Owl – Play between midnight and 5 AM for three consecutive nights.
• Morning Person – Launch the game before 7 AM for seven days in a row.

Interaction-Based Achievements

These require specific actions or responses from your companion. Some are easy to miss if you don’t experiment.

• Keyboard Warrior – Type 10,000 total words while the companion is active. She tracks keystrokes.
• Music Lover – Play music through any PC app for 2 hours while the game is open. Your companion will react to the sound.
• Movie Night – Watch a full-length movie or show (over 90 minutes) with the game running. She will comment on the runtime.
• Click Addict – Click on your companion 100 times in a single session. She will get annoyed.
• Silent Treatment – Do not interact with your companion for 48 real-time hours. She will eventually initiate conversation.
• Secret Keeper – Find the hidden “secret” file in the game’s installation folder. This unlocks a special dialogue.

Hidden and Secret Achievements

These are the six secret achievements that are not visible in the default list. They require exploration and sometimes breaking the fourth wall.

• Behind the Screen – Open the game’s console or debug menu. The companion will notice.
• Another One – Discover the hidden method to reset your companion and start a new one. This is the game’s major secret.
• Data Miner – Read all of the companion’s internal dialogue files from the game directory.
• Easter Egg Hunter – Trigger the hidden “rain” easter egg by typing a specific sequence during a storm in your local weather.
• Time Traveler – Change your system clock to a date in the future or past and launch the game. The companion will react with confusion.
• Ghost in the Machine – Uninstall the game without saying goodbye. Reinstall it later to find a special message from your companion.

Achievement Unlock Strategy

To efficiently unlock all achievements, follow this recommended order:

1. Passive achievements first: Let the game run in the background for bond levels and time-based unlocks. Use a music player or video to trigger Music Lover and Movie Night.
2. Daily achievements: Set reminders for Night Owl and Morning Person. These require specific play windows.
3. Interaction achievements: After bond level 10, focus on Click Addict and Silent Treatment. Do them on separate days.
4. Secret achievements: Once you have all standard achievements, explore the game files and system tricks. The Secrets Guide has full details on the hidden reset method.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get all achievements in one playthrough? Yes, but you must plan for the time-gated ones. Silent Treatment alone requires 48 hours of no interaction, so you cannot unlock it in a single session.

Do achievements carry over after resetting my companion? No. If you use the secret reset method, all achievements tied to that companion are lost. You will need to unlock them again on the new companion. The only exception is First Hello, which triggers on the new game start.

Is there a way to speed up bond levels? Bond levels increase faster when you actively interact with your companion through typing, clicking, or playing media. However, passive background time still contributes, just at a slower rate.

What happens if I miss a daily achievement like Morning Person? You can retry the next day. These achievements track consecutive days, so missing a day resets the counter. Use a calendar reminder to avoid losing progress.

Are there any achievements tied to DLC or future updates? Currently, no. All 24 achievements are available in the base game. Future updates may add new ones, but they will be listed separately.
