Village in the Shade Achievements: 52 Goals and Mode Requirements

How many achievements are there?

The official Steam listing reports 52 achievements. The global achievement page also has a visible non-secret subset. A heading showing 35 does not mean that the game has only 35 achievements.

Official launch trailer used as general reference for the 2026 original game. It is not a dedicated tutorial, a hardware test, or proof of a specific mechanic, patch, translation, price, or demo.

Cover context: Official rice-harvest screenshot illustrating one gameplay activity; not an achievement-unlock demonstration.

Does the selected mode matter?

Many requirements explicitly say Village in the Shade Mode. Do not assume that the same activity in Sunshine qualifies. Choose the mode with your achievement goals in mind before investing in a save.

Which non-secret goals can you plan for?

The table below follows the currently published requirement text and omits hidden story descriptions to reduce spoilers. Percentages are omitted because they change as players unlock the goals.

How should you organize the long-term goals?

Combine ordinary progress where practical: animal care, harvesting, gathering, processing, and shipping can fit into a repeatable routine. Keep upgrade materials and requested items separate from sale goods. The table states goals; these planning suggestions are not a tested fastest route.

Check the achievement description itself if a goal has not unlocked. A counter, a recipe, or an event may have additional context in the game. No claim about missable achievements, a required completion time, or the availability of every goal in every patch is inferred from global unlock rates.

Where are the hidden story achievements?

Read Steam’s full list if you want those details. This page intentionally avoids turning an early checklist into a list of late-game discoveries. The total remains 52 even though the table below does not reproduce every secret entry.
