Source-based research, not a personally earned platinum. Requirements are cross-checked against Steam's public achievement list and published trophy guidance; the time and difficulty figures are guide estimates, not measured results.
Platinum roadmap
- Complete the story while checking side paths for the four collectible sets. The four named chapter trophies are for chapters 1–4; there is no separate chapter-5 or chapter-6 completion trophy.
- Do the optional events: Potboy's guillotine scene in chapter 2, a Grinner face shot in chapter 4, a total minute of closed eyes, and ten minutes inside Housy.
- Choose either ending. After the credits, use Continue to return to the final autosave and select the other choice. A full second playthrough is not required by the cited roadmap.
- Visit Housy to check collection progress, then use chapter select for missing pickups or events. Finish all other requirements for Burn Baby Burn!.

Tasks that feel missable
- Face Your Fears — load matches before drawing a Grinner's charge, then shoot the exposed face. Chapter 4 provides an opportunity; evading it without the shot does not satisfy this task.
- Mind Over Body — after the Headmaster gives you the Matchlock, enter the small room to the left and approach the guillotine with Potboy rather than immediately continuing out the back.
- Home Is Where The Heart Is — main menu > Story > Visit Housy, then remain inside for ten minutes. This is separate from merely entering the house during the story.
- Shadow Work — closed-eye time is cumulative; one uninterrupted minute is not required.
- Burn Out and Fade Away — use Continue after the first ending's credits for the second choice.
- Mad God, Who's There?, There Is Always Music In The Air, Who Took The Sun Away? — the four collectible sets (19 / 25 / 17 / 15).
“Missable inside a chapter” is not “missable forever.” 100% Guides says chapter select covers the cleanup. Steam achievements mirror this list; they are not a second page.
Questions
How long is the platinum?
About 7 hours, difficulty 2/10, according to 100% Guides. That is an estimate.
Is anything permanently missable?
No permanent miss is documented. Use chapter select.
Do I need both endings?
Yes for Burn Out and Fade Away. One checkpoint reload covers the second.
