Additional Information
Some achievements are only obtainable in the dev build. If you're not getting an achievement, try deleting gamestate.txt from the game's folder and restarting the game.

However, some achievements might briefly stop working in either the "owf_staging_prep" or the "owf_development_build" due to updates potentially breaking an achievements trigger logic, so it's always good to ask. There's also a very early access build locked behind a donation for those so inclined.

Nvm, I'm blind and was carrying another cone that spawned close to Adam after leaving the elevator. There's no problem with the real one.

Thank you for your help.

Do you have the cone with you when you touch the fade out trigger to load the level with the big hallway? The cone trigger is pretty big, unless you leave it behind the fence that gets knocked down it should end up in the next level.

I'm trying to get the "Work in Progress" achievement but the cone disappears when the section with the big hallway before listening to the president's message loads in.

Do you know a way to fix this? I'm using the "owf_staging_prep" build.

So if I understand correctly, "Refund!" doesn't actually care about my overall game time, just that particular save file? Oh phew, was gonna say that's kind of a wild achievement to chuck in there otherwise.

to get the crash achievement go to the console and type buildcubemaps on any map
