The Outlast Trials has 27 Steam achievements, and they map exactly onto 27 in-game Badges. Earn a Badge and the achievement unlocks with it; check your Badges at the Director inside your bedroom in the Sleep Room. There is one catch that shapes this whole guide: the official Steam schema marks all 27 achievements as hidden, so it publishes display names but no unlock conditions. Every condition below therefore comes from the badge system itself as documented by achievement guides, not from the schema, and every condition has been checked against that documentation. Nothing here is guessed, and if a condition ever disagrees with your in-game badge menu, the menu wins.
Quick answer
27 achievements, 27 Badges, one-to-one. The count is confirmed by the Steam Web API schema and by the Steam store page.
All 27 are hidden in the schema, so conditions come from badge documentation, not from Valve data.
None are missable, none are trial- or event-specific, and all progress is cumulative. You do not need to finish a trial for progress to count.
Three need a co-op partner: Together We Are Strong, Crowd Control, and Sawbones. Everything else can be done solo.
One is tied to a purchased ability: Slip and Slider needs the Slide Prescription.
PlayStation lists a 28th trophy, a platinum for acquiring all badges. Steam has no equivalent; its list is 27.
At a glance

1. How achievement hunting works here
Achievement hunting in this game is unusually forgiving, and that forgiveness is documented, not assumed. A full walkthrough of the game notes that no achievement is missable, none is tied to a specific trial or event, three require an online co-op partner, and all progress is cumulative without needing to finish a trial. That changes the strategy completely. You do not need a checklist route through specific trials; you need to play normally, watch the badge menu, and then farm only the few counters that normal play leaves unfinished. Badges can also be earned more than once in-game, but their rewards can only be claimed once, which is why the menu and the achievement list can look different at a glance. The achievement pops once. The badge can repeat.
2. The co-op three, first
Do the three co-op achievements deliberately, because they are the only ones solo play cannot finish. Together We Are Strong counts co-op moves such as breaking boarded doors, pulling teammates up ledges, lifting garage doors, reviving, and helping across gaps. Crowd Control counts kicks that free a grabbed teammate, most reliably against Pushers hiding in hiding spots. Sawbones counts revives and help-ups. All three are easiest on Introductory difficulty with a willing friend, because the farming pattern is to let the friend get knocked down and then revive them, repeated 50 times for Sawbones. Arrange a farming session for these three and the rest of the list becomes a solo project.

4. The long grinds, ranked by patience
Tapetum Lucidum is the longest single counter: 36,000 seconds, or 10 hours, of night vision. Keep the goggles on whenever you explore dark corridors and recharge with batteries, and it will finish on its own across many sessions. Hoarder, at 1,000 items, and Hypochondriac, at 200 medicines, are the same kind of grind with smaller numbers: pick up everything, use medicines whenever you are hurt, and let time do the work. The timed counters are kinder than they look. Marathoner and Hunchback each need only 60 minutes of running or crouching, and Vision Quest needs only 10 minutes of full Psychosis. The counter that most often stalls players is not a big number but a habit: Can't Touch This needs 10 damage-free trials, which is a skill check, not a grind. Play short trials on Introductory, avoid Pouncers around hiding spots, and treat each attempt as practice rather than a streak.
Frequently asked questions
Why are all the achievements hidden on Steam?
Because the Steam schema for this game marks all 27 achievements as hidden. The in-game badge menu is the tracking surface instead, and badge descriptions give the conditions listed here.
Do I need to finish a trial for progress to count?
No. Progress is cumulative and counts even if you leave a trial partway through, according to the full achievement walkthrough. Farm counters without worrying about extraction.
