Until they fix this game, which they broke by adding the new chapter "Flooded", you will need to do a few things differently if you want the head decisions following this guide (you will still get the only the men survived achievement). I loaded back to Ritual to change Fliss's original death in this playthrough.

First, you need to actually keep Fliss alive. DO go out and get air, DO hit the QTE. Then you want Alex to stay up top with Julia, so do NOT say Forceful after the radio, say the other option, which is still head, to get Brad to go down.

then Brad lower deck:
-> Nervous
(Ignore generator)
(Fliss is smarter than Julia, so she automatically takes the rebreather)
-> Run

Brad Lower deck:
-> Disturbed
-> Curious
-> Dismissive (Fliss will be shot)

Alex Radio Room:
(I think you might want to fail the rats QTE and drop the distributor cap - I already had the achievement for only men survived, so I can't validate whether that matters, but it looked like that it was not a good idea to take the distributor cap lol)
(When the enemy comes through the door, make sure to hit all QTE and hit the cross hairs on the enemy, this will kill Julia)

Does the QTE with the white circle affect anything?

This achievement is doing my absolute nut! I have had to restart like 4 times because of making stupid mistakes. Also TDK the QTE white circle choices matter as I found out when a brain or heart appears right after.

This guide looks legit and going to keep this page open as I follow through it.

Just followed this guide and it worked perfectly for me the first time. Now I only need the heart decisions. Thanks for the reply.

Out of curiosity, how long did the run take following this method? I need to do at least 2-3 runs before this comes off Gamepass.

The game is crashing for me 100% of the time after I do attack at the very end with brad after the room starts flooding... Literally the next to last item. This game is awful. First I can't complete movie night due to a game breaking bug, and now I can't finish the head play through.

In one of the recent updates to this game, the developers added some features that should make this achievement substantially easier to obtain. When the player pauses the game, it now informs them if they have successfully made decisions of only one type. Furthermore, when the player selects a scene to replay, there are icons that indicate what type of decisions were previously made in that scene. smile

I wasn't keeping track of the time it took, but I would bet it's around 3 hours. Maybe someone else knows that can correct me if I'm wrong. Starting my heart run now so I'll see how long that takes.

Detail: Choose any story mode. When a decision is optional to be made, then there is a chance that they involve Heart-based decisions. You can see the corresponding icons for Heart/Head, at 50% of opacity, at the vertical center point of text per decision. Try darkening the gamma's toning or setup HDR's maximum luminance correctly.

Task: The requirement is to always and only make Head-based decisions whenever they are optional. If there is no Head-based decision optional, then your choice is irrelevant, and does not impact relative progress. The number of Head-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 Heart 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 applies to this achievement and
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of MedanSecret AchievementTheBoxyBearThe Secret Achievement achievement in The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan worth 69 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement
Whenever there is a choice to be made, options will have either a heart or brain icon behind them. Start a new playthrough from the first scene in any mode, but preferably singleplayer to reduce the chance of error and whenever there is a choice, always go for brain or heart depending on the achievement you are going for. If none of the options have the right icon, select "Say nothing". NEVER pick the other icon. You can choose the purposely fail QTEs to get characters killed and shorten the playthrough. The achievement will unlock after the end credits.

To get this trophy, just choose all the HEAD options during dialogues or during QTEs (for example, running or waiting). Head options are the ones with a brain in the background. When you see it, use rs.png to move the arrow on the decision you want to do. If there are no Head options, just move the arrow where it says "Say nothing", or if you are in a QTE, just let the timer go out.

You don't need to have all the dialogue, so feel free to skip some of them. Also, following All Heads will help you getting other miscellanous trophies. If you're following the walkthrough, you will find all throphies that can be easily earned by following this route.

Can be combined with trophies for "movie party" and "everyone survived". I recommend doing it on playthrough 2+.

If Alex does not pick up the knife in the kitchen (or does not find it at all), this will automatically be a choice based on the call of the heart, but this does not affect receiving the trophy.

Attention! The trophy is affected only by your choices in dialogues and in moments where you need to choose an action from two options! Choices from the "moral principles" category do not affect the trophy! The main thing is to always choose the heart/brain where needed, or choose to remain silent if the desired option is not available.

There is an easy way to check if the achievement is broken

During the game, the menu says - When choosing, you, as a rule, were guided by reason . The inscription disappears if you select a heart somewhere

If you made a mistake, in the main menu go to “Scene Selection”. All chapters must have only the brain depicted in the background. If the heart and brain, then the achievement is failed. We need to replay from the chapter where only the brain ceased to exist.

addition to the tip from odonatum:
I was at a movie party, Alex picked up a knife in the kitchen, and in the statistics it was counted as a call of the heart.

A small addition, perhaps it will save someone a whole passage. In the chapter "Uninvited Guests" the pirates arrive after a certain time, so it is advisable not to communicate with anyone, but just wait for these pirates. Otherwise, it will be like mine: out of nothing to do, I started talking to Conrad, and while choosing my line (literally less than a second passed from the beginning of the choice), a cutscene with pirates started => the game thinks that you didn’t make a choice and you won’t see eyebrows. be careful
