Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER achievement guide, roadmap and tracker

Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER is a cyberpunk point-and-click mystery set in Neo-San Francisco - you're ES88, an "empath" who dives into people's memories to hunt a rogue psychic called the Golden Butterfly. Stylish and story-led, fairly short (around 5-7 hours), and a lighter follow-up to 2064: Read Only Memories.

Most of the list is the five chapter completions, which unlock as you play - the story can't be failed. The interesting ones are two mutually-exclusive choice pairs: in Chapter 3, Midnight Angel vs Madness (leave or erase TOMCAT's memory via MINERVA's leaked data), and at Chapter 5's final choice, It's Gonna Work Out vs Drip Dry Eyes. The game saves right before each split (a manual save in Ch3, the autosave in Ch5), so a reload nets you both sides in one playthrough. Round it out with two small Chapter 3 bits: Spoiled Milk Crazy and Neuromantic. See each note below.
