Pink Slip Hearts Achievements Guide - Full List & How to Unlock

Overview of Achievements in Pink Slip Hearts

Pink Slip Hearts features a total of 24 achievements on Steam. These range from simple story progression unlocks to more complex tasks tied to specific choices, romance routes, and hidden endings. Unlike many visual novels, a single playthrough will not unlock everything—you will need to strategically use the game's restart and save systems to see all content.

This guide covers every achievement, how to unlock them, and tips to avoid missing missable trophies. For a full breakdown of the game's mechanics, see our Mechanics Guide.

Story Progression Achievements

These achievements are unlocked automatically as you progress through the main narrative. You cannot miss them on any playthrough.

• First Day on the Job - Complete the prologue
• The List Arrives - Receive the final layoff list from HR
• Coffee with Consequences - Finish your first one-on-one meeting
• The 1450 Billion Decision - Reach the midpoint of the story
• Final Signature - Complete the game once

Each of these ties directly to the core chapters of the game. The "Final Signature" achievement requires you to see the credits roll on any ending. For a deeper look at the story structure, check the Story Campaign Guide.

Romance Route Achievements

Pink Slip Hearts has three primary romanceable characters. Each has a dedicated achievement for completing their personal storyline, plus a hidden achievement for a specific ending.

For detailed step-by-step instructions on each romance route, refer to our Romance Guide.

Hidden & Secret Achievements

Six achievements in Pink Slip Hearts are hidden. They do not appear in the list until unlocked. Here is how to find them.

1. The Ghost in the Machine

   During Chapter 3, examine the old server room terminal three times. This unlocks a secret dialogue with an AI fragment.

2. Layoff Lottery

   Randomly pick a name from the list without reading it in Chapter 1. This has a low chance of triggering a special scene.

3. Perfect Record

   Complete the game without any relationship meter falling below 50%. This requires careful save management.

4. The Fourth Candidate

   Find all hidden files in the HR database across Chapters 2, 4, and 6. This reveals a secret character.

5. No Pink Slips

   Finish the game without firing anyone. This leads to a unique epilogue.

6. Speedrunner

   Complete the game in under 90 minutes by skipping all optional scenes.

Missable Achievements & Tips

Several achievements can be permanently missed if you do not act during specific chapters. Here are the most critical ones.

The Analyst's Trust and Designer's Confession are mutually exclusive in a single run. You must choose one character to focus on per playthrough. Use the save system at the start of Chapter 2 to branch out.

The "Layoff Lottery" achievement is entirely random. If you do not get it on your first try, reload a save from Chapter 1 and try again. It is recommended to attempt this after you have completed all story routes.

For the "Perfect Record" achievement, always choose neutral or empathetic dialogue options. Avoid confrontation with any character. Our Beginner Tips guide can help you identify safe dialogue choices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many playthroughs are needed for all achievements? At least three full playthroughs are required due to mutually exclusive romance routes. A fourth may be needed for the "Speedrunner" achievement if you take your time.

Can I use the restart feature to get missed achievements? Yes. The restart option resets the story but keeps your achievement progress. You can use it to jump back to Chapter 1 without losing your save file data.

Is there an achievement for 100% completion? No. The "Final Signature" achievement is the closest equivalent to a completion trophy. There is no achievement for collecting every piece of lore.
