One remaining Steam achievement
Steam’s total is 28 while the public list available at the time of review exposes 27 named objective lines. We will add the last entry only when Steam reveals its title or an official source identifies it.
Bean: finish within one hour
Official / Verified: Steam defines Bean as finishing the game within one hour. A Patch 1.0.12 Final Boss explosive-damage fix may affect older routes, while Patch 1.0.11 still permits self-inflicted explosive damage with Friendly Fire disabled. Read the dedicated Bean achievement guide for a current-patch preparation checklist and strict evidence limits.
All 49 creatures found or killed, but the achievement remains locked
Community-reported / Limited confirmation: one Steam report about a locked achievement after a 49-creature count does not establish whether the relevant requirement is discovery, catching or killing, or whether every entry was registered on the same save. Exact affected build/version unconfirmed; the report was checked while Patch 1.0.12 was current.
- Read the achievement's current wording and distinguish discover, catch and kill.
- Check that all 49 entries are registered on the current save, including any Drip variants rather than assuming a displayed total proves every trigger.
- Record whether progress was made as host or client and whether both roles show the same registration.
- Confirm Steam is online, record the current game version, restart the game once, and note whether the achievement state changes.
Official fix / Historical boundary: Patch 1.0.5's official notes fixed a Drip Creatures achievement trigger issue. This newer single report does not prove that fix has regressed, and it is not evidence for an invented “50th creature.”
Completion planning
“Collector” and “Fishipedia” are official achievement names, but they do not resolve whether a public 44/49 creature count includes bosses, quest entities, or Drip variants. Use the local tracker as a personal checklist, not as a completion proof.
