Looking to conquer the “Back to the past” achievement in Wu Zixu’s route in your English version of the game? Look no further! This guide will give you the support you need to overcome any bugs and successfully achieve this goal.
About this guide
I have tried to get this particular achievement in the English language version few times but no avail. What worked was playing in the Chinese version to get the achievement to pop up.
Requirements:
- A save somewhere where you can follow Wu Zixu route (My save has it exactly before the choices needed) inside the alternate/dream world.
- You will have to change language of the game to “Simplified Chinese” and play the save to unlock the achievement.
- A little bit of patience
Thanks to sulinfly for her guide for certain tips and if you want an official guide for the game, there is one published by IndieFold: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dsjNGDNpTEIqK7ARj1xeE2otdpds18KJ/view?usp=sharing
Note: this guide is made with required research into the game by other players as well.
Prep Before Language Change
So follow the Wu Zixu good ending route using a steam guide or the official walkthrough and save at the point where you get the first choice in the dream world in the ENGLISH VERSION
First choice screenshot:
Translation: Left (I am just a passer-by) Right (I am just a ghost)
I didn’t have to start a whole new game in Chinese version for it and got the achievement just from the save which I did on the English version.
On the load screen make sure which page your particular save file for Wu Zixu route is located because you will have to load it in the chinese version of the game.
please note when you do that if you are an English reader then it will be difficult to navigate the game so its better to be familiar with the start menu (Load and Save) especially.
When you get to the title screen the second option is the “Load” and you can choose your save file from there. In my case my save file was 15 in page 5/10.
Even though the game is in Chinese now the save file information is in English as presented in the below screenshot
Changing Game Language
Simply find the game in your in steam library, right click and go to properties.
From there under “General” tab you can find “Language” and select “Simplified Chinese” from the drop down menu.
Once you select that the steam client will volunteer to re-download the game which you should just let it do that.
The screenshot below is the specific place you need to look for under properties.
Choices you need to select
This is the text only walkthrough, if you don’t want to stare at the images in the screenshot guide.
1. Left card (I am passerby)
2. Left Card (I had no ill-intent)
3. Right Card (You look very weak to me)
4. Left Card (What happened to your father and brother)
5. Left Card (Go to the kingdom of Ng)
6. Right Card (Where am I?)
7. Right Card (But the kingdom of Chu is your home country)
8. Right Card (Go to see Helu)
9. Right Card (Are you going to destroy the kingdom of Chu?)
10. Left Card (The kindgdom of Chu is not your end goal)
11. Left Card (I will be waiting for you in the future)
12. Left Card (Zixu continues on his way!)
13. Left Card (Solve the kingdom’s problems together)
Screenshot Guide
Make sure you load the correct save before going forward.
There will be single box choices, somewhere in the middle you have to just click on them to progress the story, I did not include them in the screenshot guide.

The achievement should pop up not at the ending of the whole game but as soon as you finish the last choice in the guide.
Other issues encountered
This won’t prevent you from moving forward, all i did was to put the game into “Skip all” mode or you can use “Ctrl” button and press “Enter” when this annoying dialog box came. It may pop up continuously and annoyingly but just press enter continuously and be patient a little bit.
As you can see from the screenshot also, it may seem like a gamescript error. Updating the game and perhaps changing system localization to simplified chinese may help. But i did not test any fixes for this and I cant be liable to anything that happens to your system.
Steam article i found regarding the error:
