A growing number of "Game Guide" sites are appearing on the web that simply harvest guides from Steam using bots, Ads are then placed alongside the guides and site owner then profits from the hard work of others. Indiefaq, Steamlists, Steamah & Steamsolo are the biggest culprits, please do not support these content stealing cretins.

Notes.

Perils of Man has a total of 14 Steam achievements, of these 11 are story related and only 3 achievements are missable. As for completion time, this is in the region of 2 and a half hours.

Please be aware that the first 30 mins or so of the game takes place during a thunderstorm. As a result, there is quite a lot of intermittent flashing white light, I'm unsure if this kind of flashing light will have an effect on someone with epilepsy, but it is something to be aware of.

In my video walkthrough below I have added time stamps for all important events, such as item locations, combining items, using items, giving items to people and talking with people etc, etc..

Controls.

The Left Mouse Button (LMB) is used for everything.

To move to a location, click with the LMB and you will move to where you clicked, you do not need to hold the LMB down.

To interact with, speak with or pick and item up simply click on the object or person with the LMB.

To give an item to someone or use and item with something, click with the LMB on the inventory button, move the cursor over the item you want to use or give, click on it with the LMB and hold it down. Then move the item to the far left or right of the screen away from the inventory circle, and the circle will disappear. Then move the item over the object you wish to use it with or the person you want to give it to and release the LMB.

To combine two items together in your inventory, click with the LMB on the inventory button, move the cursor over the first item you want to combine, click on it with the LMB and hold it down. Move the first item to the dark grey circle in the middle of the inventory, labelled "1" and release the LMB. Then rinse and repeat with the second item, this time placing it in the dark grey circle labelled "2". Upon placing the second item to combine, assuming both items can be combined both items will disappear and a new item will appear in your inventory which was created by your combination.

To use the Risk Atlas simply click on the Risk Atlas button, located just above the inventory button. When the Risk atlas is activated, the view will change to first person and you can look around you 360 degrees by moving the mouse. When using the Risk Atlas the aim is to find potential risks, which will be highlighted in red. When you are finished using the Risk Atlas, press the Escape key on your keyboard to stop using it.

Bugs.

During my playthrough I did not encounter any bugs.

Reading through the discussion boards there seems to be a few people reporting achievements not unlocking, even as recently as last week... See here. It should be noted however that almost all of the people commenting simply didn't realise that the Gear Upgrade achievement was missable. What is concerning is the last comment on the thread at the time of wiring this guide, with someone claiming none of the achievements were unlocking, something to keep an eye on perhaps.

Achievement Guide.

The following achievements are story related and are earned as part of your natural progression...
Escape the House!, An Ancient Challenge, Fathers Gift, Extinguisher, At Sea!, Darwins Triumph, Animals Outsmarted, Research Complete, Thomas Eberling, saved!, Father? and The book is closed.

The following achievements are missable and are listed in the order in which they are obtained. Please be warned this section contains SPOILERS.

Ghost Investigator.

Just a parlor trick...right?
Talk to your Mother and exhaust all dialogue options and you will obtain the item "Pepper's Ghost?", then give her the warm boots (obtained from your bedroom) and while she is gone, examine her chair to obtain the item "Front door key".

Go back to the bottom of the stairs to the left and use the "Front door key" on the front door to get outside and the "Escape the House!" achievement will pop. Pick up the "Ladder" from the side of the house and examine the fountain to obtain the item "Gold coins". Examine the carved symbols on the fountain to zoom in on the fountain, then pick up the "Clock hands" and then head back inside the house.

Back inside, head right and go through the dining room and into the dark room beyond. Examine the Gallery table and you will obtain the items "Flashlight" and "Fuse". In your inventory, combine the "Batteries" (obtained from the clock in your bedroom) and "Flashlight". Working Flashlight in hand, continue all the way to the right and examine the Fuse box on the wall, located to the right, behind a chair. Use the "Fuse" on the Fuse box and the lights will come on.

Continue right into the Study and use the "Ladder" from your inventory on the Ladder rails located on the right side of the room, then use the item "Pepper's Ghost?" on the Massive bookshelf to obtain the item "Pepper's ghost book" and earn the "Ghost Investigator" achievement.

An Experiment Gone Wrong.

I don't think he's a doctor.
When you arrive at the basement of the Aladon Theater in 1873 use the Risk Atlas to view the room in first-person and highlight potential risks, the Open barrel on the right is the item of concern. Pick up the "Prisebar", located underneath the Thunder machine on the left side of the room and the "Drum" from underneath the Grinding wheel on the right side of the room.

Then use the item "Prisebar" on the Closed barrel to obtain item "Barrel lid" and immediately use it on the Open barrel on the right (be aware that once you obtain the Barrel lid, both barrels are labelled Open barrel, at least until you place the lid on the barrel on the right). Then use the item "Drum" on the Open barrel to empty the water from within.

Next interact with the Open barrel and you will move the barrel to near the ladder and automatically climb up to the Backstage area. As soon as you regain control after the cutscene, interact with the Velvet curtain, located directly behind the balloon. A cutscene will play out and the "An Experiment Gone Wrong" achievement will pop.

Gear Upgrade!

A better Risk Atlas...but at what cost?
When you first enter the Azimuth Projection Room, talk with Thomas and exhaust all dialogue options, then speak with Darwin and again, exhaust all dialogue options. Conversations over, walk around to the far right of the room and pick up the Pile of slides (the blue box located on the shelf).

Next, examine the portrait of Thomas in your inventory to read out a description of the portrait and obtain the clues required for the next puzzle.

There are four projectors in this room, a Coat and Book projector on the right wall and a Bird and Flower projector on the left. The hints given by examining the portrait is as follows "Purple checked coat... Blue Striped bird... Green book with circles... Red rose".

So, use the "Purple checked slide" on Coat Projector, "Green circles slide" on Book Projector, "Blue stripey slide" on Bird Projector and the "Red slide" on Flower Projector.

The Projectors will then highlight four symbols on the ceiling, two on the left side and two on the right side...

Make note of the 4 coloured symbols on the ceiling (as shown above), then interact with the Strange control panel located on the left side of the room, next to the door, and turn the four dials so that they match the four symbols projected onto the ceiling.

The Globe in the middle of the room will now rise up. Walk over to it and interact with the Secret drawer, located on the right side and obtain a Risk Atlas upgrade and the "Gear Upgrade!" achievement.
