This guide covers how to get every achievement in The Relapse DLC. It’s also like a walkthrough but skips things that aren’t necessary. So, if this is your first time playing, don’t follow it exactly.
Looking Up I See Only A Ceiling The Relapse DLC Walkthrough
Each section is a checkpoint. If you get stuck, find the right checkpoint and follow that part.
Tip: If you’re only looking for calendars, press Ctrl+F, type “calendar,” and highlight all.

- If You’ve Already Done This: Just click “Relapse” from the main menu and then “Start again.” It won’t reset your checkpoints.
- Get the Calendar: Pick up the calendar on the floor; you’ll need it for a later achievement, “A new vision on life.”
