The Skin Stapler Achievements Guide
Sixteen Steam unlocks mapped to fourteen chapters—verify in your client.
The Skin Stapler ships with sixteen Steam achievements on AppID 4310610—each tied to a chapter completion, tape repair, finale cutscene, or one secret office interactable. Tainted Pact’s humor shows up directly in unlock names: double entendres for Detective Dick Slater, Hexy, Blair, creator-cameo branding (FeFe, LunaArcana, Scaroline, Layna Lazar, KingWoolz, Runebee), and a cluster of nursery-rhyme Aftermath titles. This guide lists verified Steam strings as of launch week August 2026 and groups them by type—without inventing hidden steps beyond what the client displays.

- Single-player only — Every unlock is yours alone.
- Use our checklist — Mark progress in the achievement checklist so you do not confuse demo play (AppID 4343530) with full-game unlocks.

Chapter completion achievements
Most achievements are progress gates: finish a chapter, reach the final cutscene, or fix optional tapes. Wiki walkthrough pages map to chapters:
- Burrows Apartment → Master Baiter
- CCPD → Big D
- Aftermath → nursery-rhyme Parts 1–4 + Final Aftermath
- Quick Fix → Wiener Whisperer
- Gutters End → Shrimply Irresistible
- Luna’s Donuts → Glazed and Confused
- Underworld VHS → Tape Collector
- Lazar Blood Bank → The Blood Queen
- Closing In → The Last Nut Standing
Practical tracking: After each chapter cut, alt-tab to Steam and note which trophy flipped.
Nursery-rhyme Aftermath cluster
Aftermath Parts 1–4 and Final Aftermath use children’s-rhyme structure in achievement titles. They map to sequential detective crime-scene chapters—not random collectibles. See Aftermath walkthrough for investigation habits.
Runebee — Jank Ya Later! (tape repair)
This achievement wants you to fix The Skin Stapler tapes—a optional mechanical beat separate from chapter completion. Route tips:
- Consult audio tapes for documented spawns.
- Complete tape interactions to the end of playback.
- Schedule repairs before Closing In if you want one-run sixteen-of-sixteen.
Secret: Skin Successfully Stapled!
The thank-you note in Dick Slater’s office is easy to miss if you rush the finale. Return to CCPD when the story allows office access and interact with the note—Steam confirms Skin Successfully Stapled! No fabricated coordinates; explore Slater’s workspace thoroughly on replay.
Demo versus full game
Demo App 4343530 does not award full-game icons. Launch App 4310610 before hunting any title above.
Suggested completion order
- Play blind for story—unlock most chapter achievements naturally across fourteen beats.
- Before Closing In, repair tapes if you still need Jank Ya Later!
- Before finale, check Slater’s office for the thank-you note.
- After credits, compare Steam to the achievement checklist and replay only missing chapters.
