Return to Grace 100% Achievements Guide

Return to Grace is an atmospherice walking simulator featuring 35 Steam achievements.

Since several achievements are mutually exclusive and there’s no manual save, it’s highly recommended to backup your save files (AppData\Local\Grace) at the following locations:

Important Note: Please read the ‘Endings’ section before reading/following the other sections.

For this ending, you have to get inside the cavity in the Keeper’s room. It’s recommended to do this ending first while making save backups at the locations listed in the ‘Introduction’ section.

It is your destiny
Ruled with Control

For this ending, you must always listen to ‘Control’:

• In the power station room, head straight to the three generators and replace the turbine.
• Stop listening to the wish canisters as soon as ‘Control’ tells you to.
• Throw away the com device in the funicular.
• Press the beacon button in the Keeper’s room.

It’s highly recommended to do this ending last. If you have saved the game at the locations listed in the ‘Introduction’ section, you can load the second save to avoid a full second playthrough.
