How to Get Empty Home

Choice after Shift 12	Final check after Shift 13	Reported result
Do not call Clyde	Below $250 personal funds	Clyde survives; pet dies

Decision sequence

1. Finish Shift 12 and choose Do not call Clyde at the reported decision.
2. Complete Shift 13 so its final payout is included in the reported check.
3. Compare personal funds, rather than a store balance or store spending, with $250.
4. Below $250 on that no-call branch is reported as Empty Home.

Money boundary

The reports place the surgery comparison after the final payout and distinguish personal funds from the store’s money or purchase total. This page cannot turn an earlier cash value into a confirmed result. It records the published boundary only: personal funds below $250 after Shift 13.

Branch-specific failure boundary

Reaching at least $250 on the same Do not call Clyde branch is reported as True Ending, where both characters survive. Choosing Call Clyde after Shift 12 creates the other fork, Grave Decision, with the reported pet-survives/Clyde-dies result and no stated money threshold. No additional action is presented here as a proven requirement.

Official name and reported condition

Steam officially lists Empty Home among its hidden achievement names. The decision, the personal-funds threshold, and the reported outcome are supported by Destructoid and AllThings.How rather than an official Steam explanation. The distinction matters: the achievement title is official, while the route condition is cross-source reporting.
