A.I.L.A Progress Tracker - Complete Guide to 100% Completion

Overview

The A.I.L.A Progress Tracker is your comprehensive dashboard for monitoring all aspects of game completion. Unlike specialized trackers that focus on single elements, the Progress Tracker provides a unified view of your entire journey through A.I.L.A—chapters, collectibles, achievements, and puzzles all in one place.

Think of it as your personal completion assistant that calculates your overall progress using a weighted formula, automatically integrates data from other tracking tools, and helps you visualize exactly where you stand on your path to 100% completion.

Key Features

• Unified Dashboard: Track chapters, collectibles, achievements, and puzzles from a single interface
• Weighted Progress Calculation: Intelligent algorithm weighs different completion aspects (Chapters 30%, Collectibles 25%, Achievements 25%, Puzzles 20%)
• Visual Progress Circle: See your overall completion percentage at a glance
• Chapter-Specific Tracking: Monitor collectible progress for each individual chapter
• Category Breakdown: View progress for different collectible categories (Key Items, Story Items, Treasure, etc.)
• Achievement Integration: Track achievement completion by category with detailed progress bars
• Puzzle Checklist: Mark puzzles as solved with difficulty ratings
• Automatic Data Sync: Integrates progress from Achievement Tracker and Collectibles Tracker automatically
• Export/Import: Save your progress data to JSON files for backup
• Local Storage Persistence: Your progress saves automatically and survives browser sessions

Access the Tracker

You can access the progress tracker directly:

• Navigate to Progress Tracker from the Tools menu
• Or visit My Progress for a quick overview

The Overall Progress Circle

The large circular progress indicator is the centerpiece of your dashboard:

How It's Calculated:

• Chapters (30%): Completing all 10 chapters contributes 30% to overall progress
• Collectibles (25%): Finding all collectible items contributes 25%
• Achievements (25%): Unlocking all achievements contributes 25%
• Puzzles (20%): Solving all puzzles contributes 20%

Why Weighted? Not all completion aspects are equal. Chapters represent major progress milestones, so they have the highest weight. Achievements and collectibles require significant time investment and have equal importance. Puzzles, while important, are often completed naturally during chapter progression.

Example Calculation:

• You've completed 7/10 chapters (70% × 0.30 = 21%)
• Found 40/80 collectibles (50% × 0.25 = 12.5%)
• Unlocked 25/50 achievements (50% × 0.25 = 12.5%)
• Solved 15/30 puzzles (50% × 0.20 = 10%)
• Total: 56% overall completion

Quick Stats Overview

Below the progress circle, you'll find four key statistics:

• Chapters (X/10): Number of completed chapters out of total
• Collectibles (X/Y): Collectible items found vs. total available
• Achievements (X/Z): Unlocked achievements vs. total count
• Puzzles (X/W): Solved puzzles vs. total puzzle count

These stats update in real-time as you mark items completed, providing instant feedback on your progress.

Chapter Progress Section

Each chapter displays:

• Chapter Name & Icon: Visual identification (🏠 Apartment, 🏰 Medieval, etc.)
• Difficulty Rating: Shows chapter challenge level
• Estimated Time: Average completion time
• Completion Checkbox: Mark the chapter as completed
• Collectible Progress Bar: Shows how many collectibles you've found in that specific chapter
• Collectible Counter: Exact numbers (e.g., "12/15 Collectibles")

Why This Matters: Some collectibles are chapter-specific and missable. The per-chapter progress bars help you identify which chapters you need to revisit.

Collectibles Progress Section

Organized by category, showing:

• Category Cards: Separate cards for Collectibles, Key Items, Story Items, Treasure
• Progress Bars: Visual representation of category completion
• Item Preview: First 6 items in each category displayed with icons
• Toggle Collection: Click items to mark as collected/uncollected
• See All Link: Direct navigation to full items database for that category

Achievement Progress Section

Shows achievement completion by category:

• Category Cards: Story Progress, Combat, Puzzles, Collectibles, Karma, Challenge, Completion
• Progress Bars: Completion percentage per category
• Mini Achievement List: First 3 achievements in each category
• Missable Indicators: Warning icon (!) for missable achievements
• View All Link: Navigate to full achievements page filtered by category

Puzzle Completion Section

Organized by chapter with:

• Chapter Groups: Puzzles grouped by their chapter location
• Puzzle Checklist: Click to mark puzzles as solved
• Difficulty Stars: Visual difficulty indicators (★ to ★★★★)
• Puzzle Names: Clear identification of each puzzle

Step 1: Set Up Your Tracking Routine

Before You Start Playing:

1. Open the Progress Tracker in a second monitor or on your phone/tablet
2. Review which collectibles exist in the chapter you're about to play
3. Note missable achievements relevant to that chapter
4. Identify puzzles you'll encounter

During Gameplay:

• Keep the tracker visible while playing
• Mark collectibles immediately when you find them
• Check off puzzles as soon as you solve them
• Update achievement progress after completing achievement requirements

After Each Chapter:

• Mark the chapter as completed using the checkbox
• Verify all chapter-specific collectibles are marked
• Review the chapter's collectible progress bar—it should show 100%
• Double-check you didn't miss any missable achievements

Step 2: Tracking Chapters Effectively

Completing Chapter Tracking:

1. Play through a chapter from start to finish
2. Once you see the chapter completion screen in-game, return to the tracker
3. Click the checkmark button on that chapter's card
4. The card will highlight in green, indicating completion
5. Your overall progress percentage will increase by 3% (each chapter is 10% × 0.30 weight = 3%)

Understanding Chapter Collectible Progress:

• Even if you complete a chapter, the collectible progress bar may not be at 100%
• This indicates you missed collectibles in that chapter
• Use chapter select (if available) to return and collect missing items
• Each chapter's collectible count is specific to items found IN that chapter

Step 3: Managing Collectibles

Quick Collectible Tracking:

1. When you pick up a collectible in-game, immediately switch to the tracker
2. Navigate to the appropriate collectible category
3. Click on that item to mark it as collected
4. The item card will change appearance (highlighted border)
5. Progress bars update automatically

For Detailed Collectible Management:

• Use the "See all X items →" link to visit the full Items Database
• The Items Database provides locations, descriptions, and screenshots
• Progress from the Items Database automatically syncs to the Progress Tracker

Finding Missing Collectibles:

1. Check which categories are incomplete
2. Navigate to the Missing Collectibles Finder
3. Input your current progress to identify specific missing items
4. Use chapter-specific guides to locate and collect them

Step 4: Achievement Progress Integration

Two-Way Sync with Achievement Tracker:

• Progress you mark in the Achievement Tracker automatically appears in Progress Tracker
• Progress marked in Progress Tracker syncs to Achievement Tracker
• Both tools read from the same local storage, ensuring consistency

Using Achievement Categories:

1. Identify categories with low completion (e.g., Combat at 40%)
2. Click "View all [Category] achievements →" to filter by that category
3. Focus your gameplay on completing achievements in that category
4. Return to Progress Tracker to see overall improvement

Spotting Missable Achievements:

• Missable achievements show a warning indicator (!)
• These MUST be completed during specific chapters
• Before starting each chapter, check the achievement mini-list for that chapter
• Mark these as priority objectives during gameplay

Step 5: Puzzle Tracking Workflow

Efficient Puzzle Completion:

1. When you encounter a puzzle in-game, note its name
2. If stuck, use the Puzzle Assistants for hints
3. After solving, immediately mark it complete in the Progress Tracker
4. The checkbox will fill, and your puzzle completion count increases

Planning Puzzle Runs:

• Sort puzzles by difficulty (difficulty stars)
• Attempt easier puzzles first to build confidence
• Use puzzle difficulty ratings to schedule appropriate play sessions
• Very hard puzzles (★★★★) may require multiple attempts—plan accordingly

The 100% Completion Roadmap

Use the Progress Tracker to plan your journey to 100% completion:

Phase 1: Story & Easy Wins (Target: 40-50%)

• Complete all 10 chapters (contributes 30% to overall)
• Mark chapters as complete in real-time
• Collect obvious collectibles during natural progression
• Solve all required puzzles
• Unlock story-related achievements

Phase 2: Collectible Sweep (Target: 65-75%)

• Review collectible categories—identify incomplete categories
• Use per-chapter collectible progress to find which chapters to revisit
• Aim for 100% collectible completion (adds 25% to overall)
• Use the Collectibles Tracker for detailed locations

Phase 3: Achievement Push (Target: 90-95%)

• Focus on incomplete achievement categories
• Use Progress Tracker to identify lowest-performing categories
• Complete category by category for psychological satisfaction
• Reference the Achievement Tracker for detailed strategies

Phase 4: Final Cleanup (Target: 100%)

• Review all sections in Progress Tracker
• Identify any unmarked items (chapters, collectibles, achievements, puzzles)
• Complete remaining hard/very hard puzzles
• Finish any difficulty-specific or challenge achievements
• Verify all progress bars show 100%

Using Data Export for Backup

Protect your progress by exporting data regularly:

When to Export:

• After completing each chapter
• When reaching major milestones (50%, 75%, 90%)
• Before attempting risky strategies that might require data reset
• Before clearing browser cache or switching browsers

How to Export:

1. Scroll to the "Manage Your Progress" section at the bottom
2. Click "Export Progress Data"
3. A JSON file will download (e.g., "aila-progress.json")
4. Save this file to a safe location (cloud storage recommended)

How to Import:

1. Click "Import Progress Data"
2. Select your previously exported JSON file
3. Confirm the import action
4. All progress will be restored

Multi-Playthrough Planning

Some achievements conflict (cannot be obtained in one playthrough). Use the Progress Tracker to plan:

Playthrough 1 Strategy:

• Focus on maximum collectibles (aim for 90%+ of collectibles)
• Choose one karma path (Good or Bad)
• Complete most achievements except conflicting ones
• Mark all progress in the tracker
• Export your progress before starting Playthrough 2

Playthrough 2 Strategy:

• Reset achievement progress for conflicting achievements only
• Choose opposite karma path
• Focus only on achievements you couldn't get in Playthrough 1
• Skip collectibles already marked in Playthrough 1
• Use chapter collectible progress to verify nothing was missed

Note: The tracker doesn't automatically distinguish between playthroughs. You may want to maintain separate export files for each playthrough or use different browsers/browser profiles.

Prioritizing Based on Progress Gaps

Let the tracker guide your focus:

Identifying Weak Areas:

1. Review the overall progress percentage
2. Check individual category progress bars
3. Identify which category has the lowest completion
4. Focus efforts on that category to maximize overall progress increase

Example Priority Decision:

• Chapters: 100% (3/10 chapters = 30% complete)
• Collectibles: 60% (48/80 items = 15% complete)
• Achievements: 40% (20/50 = 10% complete)
• Puzzles: 70% (21/30 = 14% complete)

Priority: Focus on Achievements (currently contributing only 10% vs. potential 25%). Increasing achievement completion to 80% would add 10% to overall progress—the most efficient path forward.

Integration with Other Tools

The Progress Tracker is most powerful when used alongside other tools:

Core Tool Integration:

• Achievement Tracker: Detailed achievement planning and tracking
• Collectibles Tracker: Comprehensive collectible locations and tracking
• Karma Calculator: Plan karma-based endings for relevant achievements
• Puzzle Assistants: Get help solving puzzles before marking them complete

Workflow Example:

1. Check Progress Tracker to identify next goal (e.g., "Complete Medieval chapter collectibles")
2. Open Collectibles Tracker filtered to Medieval chapter
3. Follow locations to collect all items
4. Mark each item in Collectibles Tracker
5. Return to Progress Tracker to see Medieval chapter collectible progress reach 100%
6. Mark Medieval chapter as complete
7. Overall progress increases accordingly

Progress Not Saving

Symptoms: Changes disappear after closing browser

Solutions:

• Check if you're in Incognito/Private browsing mode (local storage doesn't persist)
• Verify JavaScript is enabled in your browser
• Ensure local storage isn't disabled in browser settings
• Try a different browser to rule out browser-specific issues
• Export your progress regularly as a backup

Progress Bars Not Updating

Symptoms: You mark items but progress percentage doesn't change

Solutions:

• Refresh the page—sometimes the UI needs a refresh to show updates
• Check if the item was actually marked (look for visual change on the card)
• Verify you're clicking on items, not just viewing them
• Clear browser cache and reload
• If using multiple devices, ensure you're working in the same browser with same local storage

Inconsistent Data Between Trackers

Symptoms: Achievement Tracker shows different progress than Progress Tracker

Solutions:

• Refresh both pages—they should sync on page load
• Check which tracker you updated last—the most recent update is correct
• If using different browsers or devices, data won't sync (local storage is browser-specific)
• Import your most recent export to restore consistent data

Lost Progress After Browser Update

Symptoms: All progress disappeared after browser update or clearing data

Solutions:

• Import your most recent export file
• Check if browser created a new profile—old data might still exist in old profile
• Unfortunately, if no export exists and local storage was cleared, data is unrecoverable
• Prevention: Export your progress at least weekly

Overall Progress Seems Wrong

Symptoms: The percentage doesn't match your expectations

Understanding:

• Progress is weighted—not all categories contribute equally
• Completing 100% of collectibles adds 25%, not 100%, to overall progress
• Each chapter is worth 3% of total progress (30% ÷ 10 chapters)
• Review the "How It's Calculated" section in this guide

Tip 1: Update in Real-Time

Mark progress immediately as you complete objectives:

• Keep tracker open on second monitor/device during gameplay
• Pause game briefly to mark items—prevents forgetting
• Real-time tracking provides motivational boost as you see percentage climb
• Reduces risk of duplicate work or confusion about what's complete

Tip 2: Focus on One Category at a Time

Complete full categories for psychological satisfaction:

• Choose a category (e.g., "Complete all Medieval chapter collectibles")
• Work until that category shows 100%
• Move to next category
• This approach feels more rewarding than spreading effort across all categories

Tip 3: Use Per-Chapter Progress for Planning

The chapter-specific collectible bars are incredibly valuable:

• Quickly identify which chapters have missing collectibles
• Plan efficient replay routes (e.g., "Only need to replay chapters 3, 5, and 8")
• Avoid wasting time replaying chapters where you found everything

Tip 4: Schedule Progress Reviews

Regularly review your overall progress:

• After each play session, spend 2 minutes reviewing the dashboard
• Identify next highest-impact activity
• Set a goal for next session (e.g., "Reach 75% overall")
• Export progress after reviews as backup

Tip 5: Celebrate Milestones

Use the progress percentage for motivation:

• Take screenshots at 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100%
• Share progress with friends or community
• Reward yourself at major milestones
• Track time-to-milestone to estimate remaining effort

Tip 6: Leverage Automatic Integration

Take advantage of cross-tracker synchronization:

• You don't need to mark progress in multiple places
• Choose the tool that best suits each task
• Progress automatically appears in Progress Tracker
• Reduces duplicate effort and ensures consistency

Does the tracker connect to my game save file?

No, the Progress Tracker is a manual companion tool that doesn't access your game files. This ensures privacy, security, and cross-platform compatibility. You manually mark progress as you complete objectives in-game.

Can I track multiple playthroughs separately?

The tracker maintains one progress profile per browser. For multiple playthroughs, use different browsers or browser profiles (e.g., Chrome vs. Firefox, or Chrome regular vs. Chrome profile 2). Alternatively, export your first playthrough data before resetting for a second playthrough.

Why is my overall progress different from any individual category?

Overall progress uses a weighted formula. Completing 100% of one category doesn't mean 100% overall progress. For example, completing all chapters (100% of chapters) contributes 30% to overall progress because chapters are weighted at 30% of total completion.

What happens if I clear my browser data?

Clearing browser data (cache, cookies, local storage) will erase your tracked progress. This is why regular exports are crucial. Always maintain recent export files as backups. Cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox) is recommended for storing exports.

Can I share my progress with friends?

Yes! Export your progress to a JSON file and share it. Friends can import your file to see your exact progress. Useful for comparing completion rates or helping friends track their own progress based on your path.

How accurate are chapter collectible counts?

The counts are based on comprehensive game data and are accurate. If a chapter shows "15 Collectibles," exactly 15 collectibles exist in that chapter. If your progress shows "12/15," you're missing exactly 3 items.

Why do some achievement categories have fewer achievements?

Achievement distribution varies by category. Story Progress might have 10 achievements, while Combat might have 15, and Karma might have only 5. This is by design—different gameplay aspects warrant different numbers of achievements.

Can I reset individual categories without resetting everything?

Currently, the "Reset All Progress" button resets all tracked data. If you need to reset only one category (e.g., just achievements), use the specialized tracker for that category (Achievement Tracker has its own reset, Collectibles Tracker has its own reset, etc.).
