100% Achievement & Platinum Trophy Guides

Monthly Update May 2026 & Giveaway #4

Heya, it's anniversary time!

Can you believe it? The Spire of Completion is almost 1 year old! Originally founded under the name Guide Vault, the website went live on May 10th, 2025 - and it opened so many possibilities I'd been missing on Steam for years. The freedom to design my guides exactly how I want is something I've always dreamed of.

Yet, I was afraid of losing the Steam community and the instant feedback about inconsistencies and inaccuracies. Now, even more players from Game Pass or PlayStation use my guides, and while I definitely get less feedback than before, I'm glad to have this group with all you lovely folks. So thanks for sticking around - it means a lot to me.

Btw, if you have a guide suggestion, feel free to share it in the Upcoming Guides thread :)

New Guides:

• Gecko Gods - 100% Achievement Guide[spire-of-completion.com]
  
• Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss - 100% Achievement Guide[spire-of-completion.com]
  
• Aphelion - 100% Achievement Guide[spire-of-completion.com]

My plans for Gecko Gods and Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss worked! With just a short delay of 1 day, I was able to publish both guides close to their release dates. Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss reminded me a lot of the Sherlock Holmes The Awakened remake, but with even more puzzles and deductions. It was a lot of fun, and I can absolutely recommend it to all Lovecraft fans.

As anticipated, I had to cancel my plans for Ground Zero, which was released on the same day as the other two games. Time was tight, and the achievement list indicated complex collectibles and secrets, which were too much to handle during that time.

Fortunately, I had some more time toward the end of the month, and, to my surprise, another game by DON'T NOD was released - Aphelion. I'm a huge fan of their games, so I immediately purchased and played it. After Tell Me Why, Banishers, and Lost Records, it's now my fourth guide for their games. And it was a lot of fun again, this time exploring the frozen landscapes of a foreign planet and climbing my way through caves and up cliffs.

Apart from the new releases, I refactored one of my older guides and put it on the website: She and the Light Bearer[spire-of-completion.com]. Originally released in 2019, this was one of my first point-and-click adventure game guides - and it showed. Some instructions were unclear or outright misleading. Hope the new version is more helpful and won't confuse players anymore :)

Lastly, INDUSTRIA 2 was released just a few days ago. However, I wasn't able to finish the guide yet as I'm missing some collectibles and one achievement, which might even be broken. I really hope I can figure it out in the next few days.


This month's giveaway features:

Aphelion - Deluxe Edition
WILL: Follow The Light (Releases May 7)
Whirlight - No Time To Trip (Releases May 14 and will be sent on release day)

and the anniversary special:

Gothic 1 Remake (Releases June 5)

As mentioned in last month's announcement, WILL: Follow The Light promises to be an atmospheric walking simulator. Its emphasis on narration and exploration immediately caught my interest, and I can't wait to guide it.

Whirlight - No Time To Trip is a point-and-click adventure game developed by the same team that made Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town. I'm currently playing and guiding it, and I'm having a really fun time so far. Its humor is definitely spot on!

Additionally, the Lovecraftian adventure game Call of the Elder Gods releases in just 2 weeks. And oh boy, am I excited. I've replayed the first game like five times for my Call of the Sea - 100% Achievement Guide, and while usually the third or fourth playthrough starts to get exhausting, this game was fun over and over again. It will be featured in next month's giveaway, so mark your calendars :)
