The Panel DC Achievements Guide
Welcome to our The Panel DC Achievements Guide. In this guide, we will show you how to collect all achievements for The Panel DC.
A Quick Run & A Very Quick Run
As previously mentioned, these are the speedrun achievements.
You need to finish the game in under 6 minutes (A Quick Run) and 5 minutes (A Very Quick Run).
