Forever Ago Achievements: All 29 Xbox and Steam Goals

Xbox lists 29 achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore. The official Steam community page also lists 29 names. Steam publicly exposes only five condition texts: take 25 photos, take 50 photos, find a vignette, find all vignettes, and take every opportunity to rest. The XboxAchievements list publishes the fuller requirement wording used below.

How to use this list

Treat the route grouping as a practical order for watching for objectives, not as proof that every hidden achievement fires in the named scene. For a clean completion run, photograph prompted subjects, keep taking optional photos and selfies, collect petals before leaving each area, and rest whenever a prompt appears. The platinum guide adds the PS5 trophy that sits above this 29-item list.

The game is linear, and MeriStation’s review describes its choices as mostly aesthetic. That makes a careful first route more useful than a branching-choice chart.

Full achievement list

Route by story stop

Opening room and Woolson Falls

Photograph the curious objects in Alfred’s room before the window prompt. Keep the camera active during the Falls drive and trail, and start looking for petals. The first completed vignette gives Glimpse Into The Past; all vignettes are required for Petal Collector. The collectibles page explains why a petal group and its memory photograph are separate steps.

Karl’s Pump ‘N’ Mart

Collect the gas-station supplies and avoid cutting Milton off during the optional conversation. Buy all three route items, take the Milton selfie when the prompt is available, and watch for the nap/rest interactions. The walkthrough lists the basket, wipers, cookies, atlas, payment, nightmare, and campsite order.

Diner, road, and Sam

Complete the flower, jukebox, Maddy, dog, and booth sequence. Continue taking photos and selfies rather than saving all 50 shots for the finale. During Sam’s detour, beat her plant-watering task, begin three fetch rounds over the trip, and finish the route’s reason-to-keep-going objective.

Marley’s resort

Search the abandoned resort before leaving. Use the bolt cutter to reach the arcade, souvenir shop, and docks. Play Guardian Lord, check the shop shelf beside the parrot for the bobblehead, attempt the boat spin, and carve the memorable tree after the island memory.

Winslow Lighthouse

Finish the coffee stop, feed and name Doggo, take the Doggo photograph when the bird’s-nest choice appears, and call out at least 30 times during the climb. Keep moving along the linear path and use the camera when Charles and the lighthouse prompt invite it.

Williamina Peak and home

Reach Alfred’s destination after the snow tracks and mountain sequence. In the Epilogue, search the home for Audrey’s mosaic pumpkins and the broken kitchen drawer before making dinner. The ending explanation covers the final story beats without treating these hidden objectives as alternate endings.

What the public data does not prove

The achievement pages do not publish a complete vignette total, a guaranteed missable list, or a platform-independent cleanup policy. Do not infer those details from unlock percentages or an achievement’s name. Keep the camera and journal habits from the beginner guide active, and record any later verified trigger with its source before expanding this list.

Sources and scope

The 29 names and Steam-visible conditions come from the official Steam Community achievement page. The full published requirement wording is cross-checked against XboxAchievements. Story order is paraphrased from Into Indie Games’ complete walkthrough. The images are official Steam launch-trailer frames used illustratively.
