Summer at Smile Café Steam Achievements

• First Day at the Café (Story): Complete your first work session at Smile Café. — Hint: Finish the opening tutorial and work one shift.
• Starving Artist No More (Mini-Game): Complete your first freelance commission. — Hint: Accept and finish any online art job.

These early achievements unlock naturally during your first session. Complete the tutorial and your first freelance commission before pursuing any specific route. See the how to play guide for first-session priorities.

Each character has two achievements: one for starting their route and one for completing their true ending. Route start achievements trigger when you reach the character's first exclusive scene. Happy End achievements require reaching the true ending described in the endings guide.

• Barista's Smile: Visit Smile Café regularly and choose friendly dialogue with Envy.

Mini-game achievements require deliberate effort — perfect drawing scores and 20 comment responses do not happen accidentally during a normal playthrough. Plan dedicated sessions for these as described in the mini-games guide.

Gallery achievements track CG collection at 10, 40, and 80 scenes. The final "Gallery Master" achievement requires all 80 CGs — see the CG unlock guide for the complete collection plan.
