Here’s everything I know about grabbing the full achievement list in [HERROR] Gas Station Case — the story ones, the missable ones, and the pair you can’t get together. If you’re the kind of player who likes to keep a checklist open on a second monitor, this is for you; if you just want to enjoy the ride first, that works too.
What struck me while putting this together is how forgiving the game actually is. Chapters are short, and any one of them can be replayed in minutes, so losing a trophy to a random click isn’t the disaster it sounds like. The one thing I really do suggest is playing through once purely for the story, letting the achievements fall where they may, and then coming back to mop up. That’s how I’d approach it, and it saves you the stress of second-guessing every interaction as it happens.
Story Achievements
These come naturally if you follow the main plot — they’re tied to specific beats the game pushes you through, so you won’t need to go hunting for them. Just don’t rush past the moments the game clearly wants you to interact with.
| Achievement | How to Get It | My Rating |
|---|---|---|
| After the Fishing Trip | Reach the gas station after going fishing. | Essential |
| Uranium Traces | Photograph the uranium barrels. Later on, the story takes you to the abandoned trailer park, where you’ll need to photograph the barrels as part of the plot. | Essential |
| Thanks for Playing | Finish HERROR: Gas Station Case. This one pops on the regular ending. Whether the secret ending also awards it, I genuinely don’t know — I only confirmed it on the standard finish. | Essential |
The Cop’s Visit and the Mutually Exclusive Pair
On one of the days, a police officer shows up, and this scene is where you’ll have to make a choice. The two achievements tied to it cancel each other out, so a single playthrough can’t hand you both. If you’re going for 100%, this is the part where the short chapter length becomes your friend — you can replay the segment and pick the other option without losing much time.
| Achievement | How to Get It | My Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Go Check It Out | Send the policeman into the forest. Tell him the whole truth, then mention the lake and insist that he goes and checks it out. | Essential — pick one |
| False Witness | Lie to the policeman. Withhold the truth and act like you don’t know anything. | Essential — pick one |
Missable Achievements
None of these are hard, but a few are easy to walk past if you’re just pushing toward the ending. I’d treat this list as the one to glance at before each day begins.
| Achievement | How to Get It | My Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Make-Out Amateur | Don’t chase off the couple in the restroom. On the first day you’ll hear smacking sounds coming from the bathroom — open the stall and you’ll find a pair who’ve slipped away together. Leave them alone instead of kicking them out, and the achievement is yours. | Essential |
| What’s Going On in the World? | Read the news on the site at least once. Just click the News icon on the computer. You can knock this out on the first day. The computer isn’t always accessible — sometimes it only frees up while you’re ordering goods. | Essential |
| Very Smart! | Take the IQ test. The second achievement comes from the same spot: complete the test mini-game. I didn’t read it carefully at all — I just clicked my way through it, and the achievement still dropped. | Optional |
| Michael’s Treasures | Find Michael’s hidden beer. You can do this early — the fridge sits to the right of the gas station entrance. Mine popped when I walked over during the first day, right as the rain was starting. | Optional |
| I Don’t Want To | Die in the toilet during the chase. On the final day, when the alien comes after you, run into the toilet stall instead of the break room. Watch the animation and the achievement is yours. | Essential |
| Missing | Don’t take the last shot. When you’re standing under the green beam at the very end of the game, just hold your fire. | Essential |
The one that caught me off guard was the beer — I expected it to be somewhere tucked away, but it’s sitting right by the entrance the whole time. I’d say the pair that trips up the most people is the cop decision, since it’s the only point where a single run can’t cover everything. Plan around that one, and the rest of the list falls into place quickly.
Conclusion
Overall, this is one of the gentler 100% cleanups I’ve done — the short chapters mean a missed trophy costs you a few minutes, not an evening. Play it once for fun, come back for the stragglers, and you’ll have the full set without much trouble.
