Answered the Call
How to unlock Answered the Call in Cheevos, open a friend's Cheevos invite link. Worth 10 XP.
The story
Partner. Someone sent you a link, and you clicked it.
This is how the network spreads. It is not an advertisement. It is not an algorithm pushing something into your feed. It is one specific person, someone you know, deciding that a game about browsers and loot was worth handing to you personally.
Cache thinks a lot about doors. Most of what he collects came from someone leaving a door open: a page nobody locked down, a server nobody unplugged, an archive nobody deleted. An invite link is a door too, held open by a friend on the other side.
You walked through it. That is the whole achievement, and Cache thinks it is one of the more important ones, even at a modest ten Chips. Somebody pointed at something. You trusted them enough to look.
Cache logs this as the moment the signal reached you. What you do with it next, whether you sign up, whether you stick around, is up to you. But right now, in this instant, you answered. That counts.
The catalog entry
INVITE FOLLOWED Acquired: Opened a Cheevos share link sent by another player. Condition: Answered. Rarity: Common. Cache's Notes: Someone reached out, and you came. This is how the network spreads. One player finds something, points at it, and another player walks through the door. Cache approves of doors. Doors lead to more territory, more finds, more Stash. You followed the signal. Welcome to the coverage.
Spoiler: how to unlock it
This one is about arriving, not about signing up yet.
- Get a Cheevos share link from a friend who already plays.
- Click the link, wherever it was sent to you.
- Land on the Cheevos page it points to.
Share links are just URLs with an identifier attached, the same pattern used by referral links across the web. Opening the link is enough to register that you answered the invite, whether or not you go on to create an account in that same visit. If you do sign up afterward, that is tracked separately as its own milestone.
Where it fits in the Stash
Every invite followed is a new thread pulling toward the Stash, and Cache keeps count of exactly where each one leads. To meet the raccoon obsessed with who found what and when, read the story.
