How to unlock the Instinct of self-preservation achievement in Layers of Fear (2016) - Definitive Guide

During chapter 5, you will eventually come to a narrow hallway (as per usual).

This is potentially missable, so make sure you do this ASAP.

Above the door, you will see "Don't look back".

Make sure you look at the words for a few seconds.

Do as it says. Keep going forward through the door without turning to unlock this.

If you want to know what happens if you do turn around:

No need to apologize, just wanting to improve the solution! smile BTW it says edited today but I don't see how it's any different to before.

Well, because I watched P.T. walkthrough, the first time I saw that, I instantly sensed that it could lead to similar outcomes. In one P.T. walkthrough, the radio says "look behind you, I said, LOOK BEHIND YOU", and Lisa appeared, coincidentally or not. Similarly, in this game, I knew that would happen.

If you get to this part and look back just quit to the main menu right away then continue and don't look back after you leave the room with the painting.

Can you do this too fast and fail? I missed this on my initial (blind) play through and when I just tried it again from chapter select she got me again, even though all I did was just continue moving forwards the whole time.

Yes you can definitely miss this. I think part of the trigger is to look at the words for a few seconds.

Maybe this guide should be updated to include that information then? I just did what you said when specifically trying for this from chapter select (didn't slow down or stop and look at it) and it failed for me even though I didn't turn. The walkthrough (which I didn't use on my first play through) does suggest to move slowly forward at this part, so I guess I'll try that next time...

I apologize if the information is misleading. I will change it accordingly.

Just a quick note, you will also trigger the jumpscare-and-death if you just move your character backwards without changing view. I saw the words, moved backwards a bit to get them better-centered, and the jumpscare went off.

I turned around on my first playthrough. Can I get this on my second playthrough or via chapter select?

The jumpscare made me fail this.
My soul intention was to continue walking, but the window next to me exploded, scared the crap out of me, threw my controller in fear, it landed upside down, character turned, died!
