Small Town Terrors: Galdor's Bluff does not contain any Steam achievements, it does however have 15 in-game achievements, 6 of which are story related and earned as part of your natural progression and 9 that are missable.

All achievements can be earned in one complete playthrough of the main game and the bonus chapter taking around 3 hours to complete.


1. There are no achievements relating to difficulty, so select whichever setting takes your fancy, depending if you want a quick or a challenging game.

2. During your playthrough of the main game do not skip any cut scenes of dialogue to earn the "Don't skip any dialogues or cut scenes" which will pop at the end of the main game. You are free to skip any cut scenes in the bonus chapter however, if you wish.

3. Complete all hidden object games (HOG's) in the traditional manner of locating all the items on the list, do not play any games of cards in their place during the main game and also do not use the hint button during any of the HOG's to earn the "Finish a hidden object puzzle without using a hint" and "Finish all hidden-object puzzles without using a hint" achievements.

The "Finish all hidden-object puzzles without using a hint" achievement relates entirely to the main game and you are free to use hints in the bonus chapter if you wish.

4. Complete one of the HOG's in less than one minute, this should be attainable on the second HOG that you encounter. You can earn this either in the main game or the bonus chapter, with a total of 20 opportunities to earn this achievement throughout the main game and bonus chapter.

5. Complete all mini-game puzzles without skipping any of the 21 puzzles in the main game to earn "Solve a mini game without skipping" and "Solve all the mini-games without skipping". The "Solve all the mini-games without skipping" achievement relates entirely to the main game and you are free to use hints in the bonus chapter if you wish.

6. Complete one of the mini-games in less than one minute, this should be attainable in the first puzzle that you encounter. You can earn this either in the main game or the bonus chapter, with a total of 27 opportunities to earn this achievement.

7. During the main game there are 37 collectables, with one in each area that have to be collected to earn the "Collect all the morphing crystal balls" achievement. I have marked the location of all of these in my videos along with time markers to help you locate them all. Note, there are no collectables in the bonus chapter.

8. During the main game playthrough make sure to check/read all letters, posters and leaflets to earn the "Find all the notes, letters and lore items" achievement. I'm very sorry, but I did not mark the location for these items as I have to confess to not being 100% certain which items counted towards the achievement or not.

I did however manage to earn the achievement near the end of my playthrough of the main game and can only advise that you either follow my playthrough video or at the very least make sure that you interact with all letters, posters and leaflets that you find during the main game to ensure you do not miss this achievement.


1. Assuming that you have earned all the achievements relating to mini-games and hidden object games during the main game (Specificly "finish a hidden object puzzle in less than 1 minutes" and "solve a mini game in less than 1 minute" achievements) there are only two achievements to worry about in the bonus chapter.

"Finish the bonus chapter" which is earned for simply completing the bonus chapter and "Win a game of pyramid solitaire" in which you must play and win a game of pyramid solitaire in place of playing a hidden object scene.

2. To earn the "win a game of pyramid solitaire" achievement, when you encounter a hidden object game, click on the switch to card game button at the top of the screen to play a game of pyramid solitaire instead. Beware, there are only 6 HOG's in the bonus chapter and it is not always possible to win a game of pyramid solitaire.

If you find you are unable to complete a game of pyramid solitaire you must switch back to the hidden object scene and complete it to proceed.

The following achievements are listed in the order of which I earned them.
