Inferno Protocol Achievements

Steam lists 40 achievements for Inferno Protocol. This page documents the names Tektonic has shown in the store highlights and related icons. It is not a datamined 40/40 spreadsheet. If a name is not here, we have not seen it printed in a source we trust. Pair layer names with maze layers and systems with the matching guide.

Layer and depth

• Finish The Prologue. Do the guided descent. Do not skip it. Getting started walks the first hour.
• Ground Floor (Junkyard Layer). Playable at Early Access start.
• Getting Warmer (Jungle Layer). Playable at Early Access start.
• Deep Enough (Swamp Layer). Playable at Early Access start.
• Rock Bottom (Winter Layer). Named. Tektonic’s public calendar pointed Winter at September. Not in the three-playable-layers statement. See the roadmap.

Those five are a vertical story. They are not GPS. How to find the exit is the honest version of “where is the ending.”

Settlement and survival verbs

• Home Sweet Horrifying Home. Build and live in the central camp. Settlement.
• Handyman of the Maze. Building and placement. Facing direction was added in a demo building pass.
• Feel Like a Chef. Cooking: campfire, table, fire barrels, rain, burnt food. Crafting.
• Beauty Rest. Beds. Gamepad cancel was patched. Sleep at home.
• Boom Specialist. Explosives, dynamite, grenades, teleport traps, feeding the trash eater. Combat.
• Apex Predator’s Apprentice. Harvesting and hunting, not a separate mode we have docs for. Treat it as the grim loop: drop a creature, take bones, armor, flesh, organs.

Movement, maze, mystery

• Stop Maze Turning. The interesting one. Implies the rotation can be interrupted. No public puzzle. Do not paste an undated Discord ritual here.
• Beam Me Up. Sounds like teleport. Teleport traps exist (explosives travel with the trap). Whether this achievement is trap, injector, or a later tool is not printed. We will not guess a button.
• Same As Before. Highlighted on the store. Name suggests a loop, a shift, or a déjà vu beat. No official tooltip in the sources we used. If you unlock it, you will know more than this page.

How to use this list without cheating yourself

Play the systems, do not achievement-hunt a maze that lies. Cooking, beds, building, and the Prologue are free. Layer names are progress. Stop Maze Turning is a research problem, not a day-one checkbox.

Co-op does not split achievements in a way Steam has documented for us. Host stability still matters; lobby boots were a launch-week complaint. Co-op and settings if the session is the blocker.

When Tektonic adds Winter or Desert, new layer achievements will likely land with them. This page will grow from Steam highlights and news, not from invented names. The other 26 of 40 stay unnamed here until they are public. That is a gap we will not fill with fan fiction.

If you are collecting for completion, keep patch notes open. Early Access will add injector skills, enemies, and biomes; the 40-count itself can move. Steam’s number is the number today.
