Call To Adventure!
Story achievement. Start the game. Easy so far.
Pixel Hunter.
Secret hidden achievement. If you open the options, there a magnifying glass icon (Hotspot helper). Leave it alone. Leave it off! For the whole game. It makes the game easier in terms of less pixel hunting. Yes, there is some pixel hunting, but it's not so bad.

You will get this achievement at the end of the game but it's necessary to point this out right at the beginning so you don't have to play again the whole story.
