Thank You For Your Application: Achievement Guide 100%

Most of the achievements for this game can be obtained normally without drastically changing how you would play the game. I will mention these and say how the achievements unlock, but I will not include them in my routing. Most achievements will be listed in the order of most unlocked to least unlocked, with all achievements possible in the “ideal route” mentioned as you progress. The true ending and all other ending related achievements are obtainable with a single save following the “ideal route,” which is at the bottom of the guide.

So, this achievement is very VERY easy. The unlock condition is to buy any item from the shop. If you’re curious what office items I think are useful, I would say only buy the 1-4 hotkeys, as I never used the space hotkey, and I still don’t know what the tab hotkey does.

Another achievement that you SHOULD get by just normally playing through the game. If you have relatively decent performance over the first 7 days, and answer the questions during the interview on Day 7 in a positive manner you should get this achievement no problem.

EXAMPLE ANSWERS
[1] Answer “My performance has been outstanding. I’m very satisfied with myself.”
[2] Answer “I’ll continue refining my interview skills and aim to become an expert in the field.”
[3] Answer “K88 should not pass probation. He’s arrogant and always full of hot air.”

Another self-explanatory achievement. The way I got this achievement was by shocking F32 on Day 20, which is a required prerequisite to get the A New Job For Life Achievement.

This is the first achievement that I feel you could reasonably miss.

On Day 17 after work you should notice that A02’s face has changed. Continue your normal routine, and when you try to sleep A02 will say “Who are you to rest!.” Follow the prompts and when asked choose “Yes.” After the following events you should unlock the achievement

**NOTE: For the true ending, and for the ideal route I will be mentioning later, you must replace the second memory using the item you obtain for getting to Interviewer Level 16, this can be done by finishing a full playthrough and choosing to carry over interviewer level.

This achievement involves purchasing the “Apartment Upgrade” through the Pharos Store. The upgrade becomes available on Day 20 and costs 200P. It doesn’t functionally change anything but the view you can see outside your window is different.

I mean the description of the achievement tells you what to do. The game doesn’t warn you about this so if you’re a die-hard company employee like I am you’ll get this naturally. Just work overtime for 5 days in a row and you’ll get it.

There are two ways to get this achievement. The first is by playing through the game and meeting the following prerequisites:

[1] You did not do any tasks for the Minato Resident’s Association
[2] You had a performance rating of A or B across all days
[3] You did not abuse the shock button (seriously just don’t use it there is no point)

On the end of day 30 you should get pulled into another interview with A01 and accept his offer to become a permanent employee.

The second way to do this achievement is how I got it and is my favorite, which involves completing all the steps to complete the true ending, but backing out at the last second. See my detailed route guide for more details about that.

This is the first achievement where I will be doing a little bit of speculation, assuming that what I did was the only correct way to get it done. As far as I know there are 3 steps to getting this achievement.

[1] Get the “Aeropolis Tourist Visa” from the Residents’ Association Store which becomes available after verifying the Residents’ Association Card on Day 11. The Visa can be bought for 129P.
[2] Reply to the apartment email above from C94 on Day 14 with “I managed to get you an Aeropolis City visa.”
[3] Reply to the above apartment email above from C94 on Day 15 with “Come and see me.”
[4] Accept C94’s application on Day 16, which can be done without giving you a warning if you replied “Go and buy a Job-hunting Support Pack” to her previous email on Day 3.
[5] You will get the email above titled “Confidential Mail” from C94 on Day 22, for this achievement choose to respond “Is there any other kind of work you’d rather do?”
[6] On Day 24 C94 will once again send you an email, responding to this email will award the achievement.

This achievement can be obtained during the probation interview on day 7. During the final question, waiting 20 seconds will reveal a fourth answer choice which says “I refuse to answer that question.” Using this answer will award you the achievement.

Another achievement that has to do with the probation interview on Day 7. This time, answer all of the question with the obviously incorrect answers and you will unlock this achievement.

EXAMPLE ANSWERS
[1] Answer “I’ve performed poorly, but I have to keep going — for the sake of getting by, if nothing else.”
[2] Answer “I’ll keep pushing through — until I obtain permanent residence in Aeropolis City.”
[3] Answer “K88 should not pass probation. He’s arrogant and always full of hot air.”

Simply a simulation of what modern day job recruiters are doing… don’t even look at the applications and throw them all in the trash. Can be done on any day, just be sure to save before that day so it doesn’t tank your performance rating.

Now for the getting fired speedrun, similar to before don’t even look at the applications and just immediately accept them. Also similarly to before it can be done on any day and be sure to save before you do this so it doesn’t tank your performance rating.

Alright this is the first achievement that has some controversy around it. For me to best explain this I will just go through each decision that I think leads to this ending. Some of them could be unnecessary but it won’t lock you out of any of the other endings, so it should be safe.

[1] Accept T91’s request to meet on Day 8 through work mail
[2] Be friendly during the meeting on the train and agree to be friends saying “Of course.” instead of “I just need some time.”
[3] On Day 20 you will be visited at the beginning of your shift, he will say to cause F32 to have a breakdown, which can be done by shocking him 3 times. After asking F32 for his reason for changing jobs, the shock button will appear. Shock him 3 times to continue the quest, which will result in the day ending early.
[4] On Day 24 you will once again be visited at the beginning of your shift, this time asking for you to scan the resume of a man named H11. The scanner button is located below the Q&A button. Once you see H11 arrive, do not interact with the scoring or referral system at all, simply scan his resume when the light is green and deny him, which will cause a warning.
[5] On Day 25 you will be visited at the beginning of your shift with another request for the final time. He will this time ask you to pass H12. In my experience, H12 fits all the criteria to be hired anyway, so this shouldn’t be an issue. Still be mindful when his name shows up to pass him.
[6] After doing all of this, you will be visited once again at the beginning of your shift on Day 29, this time he tells you to attend an interview after work. After you clock out for the day, be sure to click “Go to the interview”
[7] Once at the interview you will be asked a series of questions and depending on your answer get the achievement or not. The correct answers to the questions are as follows:

{a} Choose “I love working, and I want to contribute my efforts to the Minato Residents’ Association.”
{b} Choose “Really. Just thinking about working for you makes me feel excited.”
{c} Choose “Because I believe Minato Communications has better prospects.”
{d} Choose “I can efficiently complete tasks assigned by colleagues from different departments and comrades from the Association.”

After doing all of that you should pass the interview and get the achievement.

Now for the big one, this one was a real doozey and took me by far the longest to get. If you follow all of the steps I have listed you should be able to recreate it and get this ending. The steps I did are as follows:

[1] Accept T91’s resume while working on Day 6. She does not meet the requirements (missing internship) and it will give you a warning but it is required to get the escape ending.
[2] Accept T91’s request to meet on Day 8 through work mail.
[3] Be friendly during the meeting on the train and agree to be friends saying “Of course.” instead of “I just need some time.”
[4] On Day 12 when in the final interview for the cleaner position after your shift, be sure to hire Y37 and NOT D70, hiring D70 will lead to K88’s death, which cannot happen for the escape ending.
[5] On Day 18 accept K88’s invitation to meet on the shuttle.
[6] If everything has been done correctly you should have an email titled “Confidential Mail” from T91 on Day 20, it should say that she stopped K88 from going to A53’s office.
[7] On Day 27 K88 will send you an email asking if you would like to escape. Respond “I agree to leave.”
[8] After work on Day 29 when in the apartment, click on the door which should now be unlocked, this will trigger the escape ending.

This achievement is honestly almost the exact same as one of the previous unlocks and I have no idea why it’s completion is so low. I’ll write out the steps but the TLDR is that you just respond along the other email path when C94 emails you about working.

[1] Get the “Aeropolis Tourist Visa” from the Residents’ Association Store which becomes available after verifying the Residents’ Association Card on Day 11. The Visa can be bought for 129P.
[2] Reply to the apartment email above from C94 on Day 14 with “I managed to get you an Aeropolis City visa.”
[3] Reply to the above apartment email above from C94 on Day 15 with “Come and see me.”
[4] Accept C94’s application on Day 16, which can be done without giving you a warning if you replied “Go and buy a Job-hunting Support Pack” to her previous email on Day 3.
[5] You will get the email above titled “Confidential Mail” from C94 on Day 22, for this achievement choose to respond “We should work hard to secure that kind of job for life”
[6] On Day 24 C94 will once again send you an email, responding to this email will award the achievement.

For this section I will just be going over all the relevant choices that I made in my run that I believe could be used to get all of the achievements in a single playthrough. To preface, you have to be on your second playthrough because you will need the Memory Module by Day 17, which unlocks when you reach Interviewer Level 16. I am simply naming what you have to do to follow this path story wise, there are still other things that will kill you. I’ll let you guys figure those out for yourselves if you haven’t already.

[1] Buy C94 the “Job-hunting Support Pack”
[2] Accept T91’s resume during work on Day 6
[3] Denied K88 during work each time
[4] Agree to meet T91 on Shuttle on Day 8, said “Of course.”
[5] Obtained and verified Minato Residents Card on Day 10
[6] Purchased the “Aeropolis Tourist Visa” on Day 11
[7] During the final interview for cleaner after work Day 12, pass Y37
[8] Give C94 the Tourist Visa on Day 14
[9] Tell C94 to see you on Day 15
[10] Accept C94’s application during work Day 16
[11] Link to A02 when prompted and replace his memory (True End Requirement) instead of deleting it on Day 17
[12] Agree to meet K88 on Shuttle on Day 18 and tell him about A02
[13] Shock F32 three times during work on Day 20
[14] Purchased Apartment Upgrade on Day 20
[15] Reply to C94’s email at the apartment on Day 22, both responses to this email lead to two different achievements
[16] Reply to the follow up email from C94 on Day 24 to unlock the respective achievement
[17] Reply to K88’s email during work on Day 27 and say “I agree to leave”
[18] MAKE A SAVE IN THE APARTMENT ON DAY 28 AND MAKE SURE YOUR BREAKDOWN ABOVE 20 BEFORE WORK DAY 29

With all of those choices made, you should be able to attend the interview with Minato after work on Day 29 (A New Job for Life), escape through the apartment with K88 after work on Day 29 (Escape), and because we kept our breakdown above 20 we can “Link Consciousness” with A02 by interacting with him. Once prompted, choosing “Take A01’s hand” will net you the final story related achievement (Job for Life), while choosing to not will get you the coveted true ending.

Well, after the 35 hours I have on this game after making this guide, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I found that the sources on the internet and even other people didn’t really know how to do many things in the game, so I hope this was helpful for all the achievement hunters out there. If you have any questions or suggestions, don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments or give me a shout on the Thank You For Your Application Discord, where you can find me as Heyaa. Happy hunting, good luck, don’t be a stranger, and most importantly:
THANK YOU FOR YOUR APPLICATION
