Narrative Milestones: The Story Achievements

You will unlock the story achievements naturally as you progress through the main narrative of the game. These trophies mark major milestones in your strange culinary adventure. Pay close attention to your surroundings to ensure you do not miss the cues to enter these specific areas.

The Culinary Awakening

Midnight Snack
To earn this very first achievement, you simply need to cook something to eat. You can choose any dish in the entire game. Once you finish preparing your first meal, the achievement pops immediately.

Friend Shaped Entity
You get this achievement the moment you successfully befriend your very first creature. You will find plenty of opportunities to accomplish this as you explore the property and start serving up meals.

Exploring the Estate

Kenopsia
You unlock Kenopsia as soon as you step foot into the bedroom for the first time.

Monachopsis
Similar to the bedroom, you earn Monachopsis when you wander outside and enter the barn area.

Chrysalism
You trigger this achievement simply by walking into the bathroom.

Amentalio
You receive this achievement when you enter the Room of Oddities. A better title for this achievement might honestly be A Noir Adventure based on the aesthetic, but opening the door gets the job done.

The Point of No Return

Backyard Bonanza
This is the grand finale. You unlock Backyard Bonanza when you join the final celebration. Triggering this achievement results in an immediate Game Over!

Pro Tip: Make absolutely sure you wrap up your other cooking tasks, puzzle solving, and photography before you step out to join the Backyard Bonanza celebration.

Quirky Kitchen Antics: Miscellaneous Gameplay

This category requires you to perform specific actions, make strange mistakes, or hoard particular items. Follow these direct instructions to knock them out quickly.

Culinary Disasters

Junk Food
Who needs a cookbook anyway? You earn this easy achievement by actively ignoring all the standard recipes. Just grab any random ingredient, shove it into the oven, and cook it to see what happens.

Stomach Problems
Make exceptionally poor choices in your produce to unlock this trophy. You need to use the red mushroom with white spots in a recipe. This is the Amanita mushroom. You will naturally find this dangerous fungus while completing the Fully Stocked achievement.

Master Chef
You face medium difficulty with this massive culinary undertaking. You must cook every single recipe available in the game. The game conveniently numbers all the recipes, so you can easily cross-reference your list and find out exactly which ones you are missing. You must cook every meal before you trigger the end of the game.

Questionable Choices

Basic Safety
Why would you do that? To get this slightly dangerous achievement, you need to grab a fork and plug it directly into an open electrical outlet.

Biohazard
For this biological danger achievement, you must obtain 100 pieces of slop. You find slop in the form of cans marked with question marks hidden in the trash.

Hoarder Extraordinaire

Afraid of the Dark
You must hold back the darkness of the night to unlock this one. Turn on every single lamp and candle located in the house and the barn. You need to activate a total of five light sources across these two areas to succeed.

Fully Stocked
You need to find all the ingredients in the entire game. You find the vast majority of ingredients by unlocking recipes and solving puzzles. However, you must also go out into the garden and manually locate 5 different types of mushrooms to complete your collection.

Cryptozoologist
You must completely fill out your photo album. Take a clear picture of every single creature in the game. Furthermore, you absolutely must take a photo of the family at the very end of the game to finalize the album.

Pro Tip: If you find slop in the trash, simply remove 100 pieces and then re-enter the game. Alternatively, you can remove the 100 pieces and throw them right back into the trash bin to prevent cluttering up your pristine kitchen space.

Brain Teasers and Enigmas: Master Puzzle Solutions

Creature Kitchen throws several perplexing riddles your way. Below we break down the clues the game provides, followed by the direct solutions for those who prefer to bypass the brain teasers entirely.

Furniture and Fixtures

The Box Puzzle

• Hint: Look at the calendar. It shows specific signs accompanied by dates.
• Solution: Input the code 9 1 7 4.

The Closet Puzzle

• Hint: Check the table. You will find a text detailing the weather forecast for the upcoming week.
• Solution: Select the options in this exact order: 1 Rain, 2 Cloudy, 3 Rain, 4 Rain, 5 Thunderstorm, 6 Cloudy.

Owls on the Wall Puzzle

• Hint: Inspect the wooden disc located right in the middle.
• Solution: Press the owls in this sequence: First the bottom left corner, second the top right corner, third the top left corner, and fourth the bottom right corner.

Room Specific Challenges

The Barn Puzzle

You will see the correct route drawn clearly on the wall. Follow the visual path.

The Bathroom Puzzle

You need to close the curtain in the bathroom. After closing it, insert the crystals that you found exclusively inside this room.

The Fireplace Mysteries

The Globe Puzzle

Look above the fireplace where the antlers hang. You will notice symbols that closely resemble the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Sequentially on the Globe Puzzle

Use those exact same numbers from the antlers, matching the symbols in the exact same sequence on the globe itself.

The Timepiece Enigma

The Clock Puzzle

Hint

To figure out this riddle, you must first fix the broken typewriter. Once fixed, print the page containing the riddle. The paper will read: “One day, a wizard came from old Snakemute, circled the mountain clockwise, and landed one step south. After shopping in Lambtown, he returned the same way, rune in hand. At sunset, with bag and sword, the wizard set off east. His destination is the city of For, beyond the fields of evil beasts.”

Solution:

1. 1. Wait a few seconds at the number 7, rotating the arrow clockwise to the right.
   2. Go to the number 10 by rotating counterclockwise to the left.
   3. Finally, go back exactly 4 steps by rotating clockwise to the right.

Pro Tip: Read all the environmental clues carefully! Pieces of paper, table notes, and wall drawings hold the vital keys to bypassing these complicated locks.
