Village Checklist Before Entering the Well

Do not enter the Well as soon as the route opens if you want Social Network. Steam defines the achievement as “Speak to all your neighbors before entering The Well,” making the village the game’s clearest early missable checkpoint.

Safe opening checklist

1. Walk the full accessible village loop.
2. Approach every neighbor or occupied interaction point and exhaust the available conversation.
3. Recheck paths around the houses before committing to the Well.
4. Pick up the highlighted opening progression item.
5. Enter only after you are satisfied every conversation has been completed.

The release runs show several named conversations, but this guide does not yet have an independently reproduced, complete NPC-name list. The safe method is therefore spatial: clear the whole accessible village rather than relying on a short list that might omit a neighbor.

Can I come back after entering?

The achievement wording treats entering the Well as the cutoff. Plan as though the opening conversations are no longer recoverable in that run. If the achievement does not unlock, retry the short opening and search every accessible house/path before descending.

No-death run tip

If you also want Untouchable, completing Social Network at the start of the same run is efficient. The village is low risk compared with the underground route, and it prevents a second achievement cleanup run later.
