Deadlands Noir: That Old Time Religion Cheats, Codes and Achievements

A guide to the 14 Steam achievements in Deadlands Noir - That Old Time Religion, what is known about Episode 2, and why exact unlock choices remain unverified.

If you mean the Steam visual novel Deadlands Noir – That Old Time Religion, the available evidence does not establish any cheat codes or console commands. The game’s completion goals are its 14 Steam achievements, earned through a branching story and, in Episode 2, skill checks and consequential choices. Achievement names are known, but exact dialogue and route triggers are not verified, so treat the list below as a checklist—not a guaranteed step-by-step unlock guide.

Which Deadlands Noir game is this?

This guide is about Deadlands Noir – That Old Time Religion, a single-player visual novel released on Steam on July 3, 2015. It follows private investigator Harvey Jenkins in 1935 New Orleans. Steam describes its story as branching but somewhat linear, and lists two episodes and 14 achievements. See the Steam listing for That Old Time Religion.

It is not a guide to the Deadlands Noir tabletop roleplaying game or the separate Fantasy Grounds – Deadlands Noir – Player’s Guide. That digital tabletop RPG product requires Fantasy Grounds and a separate Savage Worlds Adventure Edition ruleset purchase; it is not a walkthrough for the visual novel.

Are there cheats or codes?

Steam’s listing does not publish cheat codes or console commands, and it describes story choices and Episode 2 skill checks rather than a code-entry system. No supported cheat system is established here. If you are looking for an easy completion route, focus on the achievement list and keep separate saves before important choices or checks; the game’s branching structure means a choice can affect what happens next.

All 14 Steam achievements

The third-party STMStat catalog lists these achievement names. Its short descriptions can suggest the story moment involved, but they do not provide verified dialogue selections or exact unlock conditions. Check the STMStat achievement catalog.

  • On the Job
  • Discretion is the better part of valor
  • Brave but Foolish
  • Kickin’ It Old-School
  • Flame On!
  • Knowledge is Power
  • Can I Keep the Check?
  • Powerful Enemies
  • Saved by my Gal!
  • Back on the job with another case.
  • Wolf Bait!
  • You’re not in Kansas anymore
  • Death by Berin
  • Head in the Clouds!

For example, the catalog describes “On the Job” as Harvey having accepted the case, “Discretion is the better part of valor” as Harvey running away to fight another day, and “Head in the Clouds!” with a line about finding shapes in clouds. These are catalog blurbs, not tested instructions for reproducing the unlocks.

What to expect from Episode 2

Episode 2 adds Savage Worlds/Deadlands Noir skill checks that use Harvey’s shooting stats, expands character relationships, and introduces consequential branches and additional achievements, according to the Steam description. Choices can lead to different results, but the store calls the overall storyline somewhat linear; that does not prove that every achievement requires a wholly separate full playthrough. The available achievement descriptions do not establish which choice or stat check triggers each achievement.

Steam estimates the base game at roughly 1–1.5 hours at an average pace and says Episode 2 adds roughly another 1–2 hours. These are store-published estimates, not independently tested completion times.

A practical approach to achievement hunting

  1. Use the Steam achievement list as your checklist. Confirm which achievements remain locked, then consult the catalog for its brief descriptions without treating them as exact route directions.
  2. Keep a save before consequential decisions or skill checks. Episode 2 explicitly includes shooting-stat checks and deadly branches. A separate save gives you a way to revisit a decision without assuming a particular choice is the correct trigger.
  3. Record the outcome you chose. With branching scenes, noting the choice and result makes it easier to retrace your own route if an achievement remains locked.
  4. Do not assume one playthrough unlocks everything—or that every achievement needs a full replay. The game is described as branching but somewhat linear, and the precise achievement routes are not verified.

What the store listing does and does not establish

Steam also lists five trading cards, but that does not establish that physical cards or merchandise are included. The relevant product here is the digital visual novel; the tabletop Player’s Guide is a different product and is not a substitute for an achievement walkthrough.
