If the achievements and endings do not unlock for you, I suggest deleting your persistent file from the following folders:
Steam\steamapps\common\CUPID - A free to play Visual Novel\game\saves
C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Cupid-1422075367

This will reset your progress, so make a backup copy just in case.
For me, playing through the game in the order you see the endings below unlocked everything, so hopefully you won't need to delete your files.

Some achievements unlock right after you made a certain decision (for example Cynical Mother, Justice Fighter, A Grudge), but most of the achievements will unlock during a certain ending. This makes tracking a little bit difficult and I decided to list the decisions I made during my playthrough to get a specific ending, and list the achievements which belong to the ending after it.

Also if you miss certain CGs, you might want to play with Mature filter ON/OFF, depending on what option you had before, and replay certain parts of the game. If you want to compare what you have to a complete gallery, check the Endings, CGs and Bonus menu section below.
Ending 4
The following achievements will be granted to you when you finish either Ending 3 or Ending 4 following this guide:

Monster
Spectral Handjob
Oral Sex from Hell
Nightmare Fuel
Jealousy
Bloody Cupid
Wet Dream Gone Bad
Pat the Bunny
Fourth Wall

It will also grant you several other achievements during the playthrough, stated in ( ) right after the choices.

if you only miss "Jealousy" and have everything else, your problem might be you unlocked and checked "origin" section. Delete your persistent file and play ending 4 again.
Play this one with Mature filter off to get the achievements. Credits go to Salada, thank you for your help.

Ending 3 unlocked.
Hostage achievement unlocked.

For Implied Incest:
Load Save 1 and choose "Open it" instead of "Leave it alone", then continue playing the way it is described above.
Ending 2
Players who already completed the game and "Play it again" is still missing:

Delete your persistent file and play through ending 2 first. The problem might be that many of you started with ending 1 when it was still bugged and "Play it again" requires ending 1 not to be unlocked.

Thank you much for the guide. Three did not unlock: Pat the Bunny, Love is Bittersweet, and Poison and Cure.
Banake 30 Nov, 2023 @ 5:56pm 
Thanks. \o
DIAS75_TV **Twitch** 30 Jul, 2023 @ 1:37pm 
LOL to unlock the "Pat the bunny" achievement simply on the main menu click on "UNLOCK" and then "Unlock all Steam Achievements" :P Worked for me since it was the last achievement missing due to the errors
[G]Manlove 28 Apr, 2023 @ 12:44pm 
Thanks for the guide. Heres how to fix "Pat the bunny" by downloading older version of the game where the achivement works.

1. Enable console in steam. Google if you dont know how.
2. Copy this into console download_depot 421670 421671 6627511324272707898
3. Wait until console says Depot download complete.
4. Delete everything in the game folder, copy everything from the downloaded depot folder to the game folder. (Console shows where the depot was downloaded)
5. Do ending 3 from this guide.

The missing CGs are most likely related to the mature filter. The game used to have one in 2016 when the guide was originially written. Not sure how it is looking right now, but back then you had to play through twice to get all the CGs.

Even with the one achievement missing (Pat the Bunny, due to the previously mentioned errors), and going through all the bonus content, I'm still missing (6) CGs (9, 11, 23, 37, 38, 39). How is this possible? Haha. I think it might be a coding thing, because based on the screenshots above, I have already seen them, they just don't populate to the 'record', if that makes sense. Or even more that they're basically duplicates of the ones prior (8/9, 10/11, 22/23, 36/37/38/39).
slainephoto 23 Apr, 2023 @ 1:10am 
I got the same errors for Pat the Bunny, as well.
F1ne 27 Mar, 2023 @ 6:41am 
"Pat the Bunny" doesn't work for me too. 2 errors in 3d and 4th endings.
The Baekin' Company 8 Jan, 2023 @ 5:30pm 
Getting a lot of errors trying to get ending 4 myself. I've gotten it in a past save on an old computer, but thought I'd try getting it again to archive/record that particular ending for my own purposes - but sadly the error messages are making that impossible.

I keep validating my files, but nothing seems to stop the errors.
