How to unlock the Instinctive Reaction achievement in The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope - Definitive Guide
New to this game as well, through the start screen. It will notify you the entire time if you have strictly stuck to making Heart or Head decisions. Way easier to keep track of. They unfortunately can be hard to see at times, so this is a HUGE bonus now. ( I got burned early on in Man of Medan because of this, not realizing I missed an opportunity early on in the game, only to find out at the very end when the achievement did not pop up. 5 hours wasted. Pay attention and learn from my mistake!)
Task: The requirement is to always and only make Heart-based decisions whenever they are optional. If there is no Heart-based decision optional, then your choice is irrelevant, and does not impact relative progress. The number of Heart-based decisions can be variable per story play, but it is relevant to make the corresponding decisions if prompts are being triggered. For example, if only Head based decisions are optional on an interaction prompt, then you can/must safely make any of the three decisions.
Xbox Achievement: The relative Xbox Achievement will be unlocked, the scene after the credits roll has initiated. Prefer not to skip credits rolls.
This is much easier to track and much harder to screw up than it was in Man of Medan. You can now track whether you've made Head or Heart choices in the pause menu - so as long as it says you've only made Heart choices by the end of the game, you should unlock the trophy. You can differentiate a Heart choice by the icon of a heart behind the dialogue or action choice. If at any point the pause menu no longer says that you've only made certain types of decisions, you can go to chapter select and it will tell you which chapter had head and heart choices, so you can replay from there.
If you're ever given the option of choosing between two Head options and no Heart options, you're free to choose whatever you want. The game specifies in the pause menu that you've made only Heart options when possible, so that's all that matters. Thanks to ThaMighty for confirming this.
