PatriotMemoirs Steam Achievements
Every trophy for Zhu Shiming's 16 endings and Shangchuan side routes.
PatriotMemoirs ships with 34 Steam achievements on its base app ID, viewable from the Steam overlay or community stats page. They track chapter progression through No. 86 Demon’s Lair, mastery or failure of spy minigames, relationship milestones with Shangchuan’s cast of more than thirty characters, and the long tail of ending collection beyond the 16 finals advertised on the store page. Global completion percentages range from above thirty percent for early story beats down to one tenth of one percent for full exploration and ending-hunter trophies, which tells you exactly which routes demand dedicated saves versus casual play.
This guide lists every achievement in sensible order—story first, then skills, relationships, and completionist goals—with practical tips cross-linked to Spy Skills, Day and Night Cycle, and Controls so you know when to rewind, grind, or reload.

Suggested achievement roadmap
Playthrough 1: Focus on story through Chapter 5, unlock Leaving Yangguan through Where is the road ahead?, and finish any single final ending for A glorious achievement plus hint mode. Pick up incidental trophies like Perfect teamwork, Drink more hot water, and Creativity is top-notch when they appear naturally.
Playthrough 2–4: Target romance routes for Heartbeat, chivalrous and tender, See you again someday, and The actor’s confession. Grind God of Gamblers and Spy Poker on dedicated casino nights using saves from Controls. Use a fail save for My heart rate has betrayed me again if you want the comedy trophy without derailing a serious run.
Completion phase: After hint mode unlocks, chase Founding of the Nation, The strongest undercover agent, Selflessness, Great philanthropist, and We’ll meet again someday. Track exploration percentage after every chapter until Shiming’s Multiple Universes hits 100%, then systematically branch for The End Hunter and insightful people.
PatriotMemoirs achievements narrate the same history lesson as the main campaign: ordinary people attempted extraordinary things, and most never saw every outcome. Steam simply measures how many of those hidden paths you are willing to uncover for Zhu Shiming.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
How many achievements does PatriotMemoirs have?
The Steam store lists 34 achievements for the base game. They cover chapters, minigames, relationships, charity routes, and completionist exploration.
Why does The End Hunter mention more than 50 endings when the game advertises 16?
The 16 figure refers to distinct final endings. The End Hunter counts additional variant outcomes, partial routes, or bad endings encountered across replays, so the total collectible endings exceeds the marketed finals.
Which achievement is the rarest?
Shiming's Multiple Universes, The End Hunter, and insightful people each sit around 0.1% global completion according to Steam stats, making full exploration and catalog completion the hardest goals.
Do achievements unlock in-game rewards?
A Glorious Achievement explicitly unlocks story hint mode and relationship level display. Other trophies are cosmetic on Steam unless future patches add in-game bonuses.
Can I earn achievements after enabling skip mode?
Yes, but skipping unseen text risks missing decision points required for branch achievements. Use skip only on replays when you know the path.
