How to unlock the Lovebirds achievement in The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man Of Medan - Definitive Guide
Not so much a guide as some hints. The walkthrough here on TA is great and if you follow it you will pop this. But I replayed this game like 6 times so I noticed a pattern to maxing out their relationship. I'll be writing as if you were doing this on solo player mode, but the same principles apply on 2 player.
Despite this being a high percentage achievement it was one of my last ones to pop.
-At the beginning with Brand have him tell Alex to "Got with his gut" this way Alex will propose to Julia, when that happens say Yes as Julia.
-Try to always agree with Julia or Alex (you will play as both characters throughout the game) These will be a mix of Brain and Heart options. Do this by choosing encouraging options and romantic/playful options, as well as always help/ungag/rescue each other first.
-I'm not sure it matters if Julia decompresses or not, I had her wait and followed these other tips and it still popped. But if she comes up to quick don't have Alex stop her from drinking/tell her what to do. Again focus on encouraging and supporting each other. (This achievement will pop before the consequences of not decompressing occur.)
- I had Conrad escape the Duke when I got this achievement, so I'm not sure if he affects it or not. But if he is in your playthrough, as Alex, always side with Julia first or Conrad second. When they get separated from Conrad don't tell Julia to Shhhh either say nothing or shout for Conrad with her.
-When Julia gets spooked in the cafeteria say NOTHING as Alex, saying anything will get her to feel bad so say nothing.
-It seems a lot of times they max out their relationship in the Plunged chapter when they fall off the catwalk/bridge into the water have Julia tell Alex to stop. This is the moment when it pops for me as well as the moment it popped in the walkthrough here in TA.
-I don't think it is possible to pop this while trying to also achieve the Brain or Heart playthrough achievements, correct me if wrong!
As I said I played this game 6x through and noticed these tips as helpful. But I'm not gonna play it a 7th time just to make a play by play. 😅

Not possible to do it while trying Brain or Heart playthrough. Some scenes arent good for relationship if you are forced to take all brain or heart dialogues

In the cafeteria, it's better to say "It's just rats". I did that after inviting Julia to come look at the rotten meat in teh cupboard and got a huge bonus. Prior to that I avoided the secret in the pipe, accepted the proposal, sided with Alex about the wedding on the boat and all that lead to the achievement unlocking after saying "Is is crappy" in the casket room

Cannot be earned in Curator's Cut.
You can get this trophy during Movie Night All Hearts playthrough in Theatrical cut, since all hearts options should make the bond of the two strong. If there are more than one heart option, just choose the option that can make the bounds between Alex and Julia strong, so never blame her or make her mad or angry. You can also unlock Yes! Yes, I’ll marry you! during the process.
If you are not able to get this on the playthrough, I will list the correct answer to give to Julia or Alex in Theatrical Cut:
Chapter: The Duke

Chapter: The Duke
- When Brad and Alex talk, chose SENTIMENTAL
Chapter: Uninvited Guests
- During the dialogue between Julia and Alex, as Julia, chose the following:
- ASTOUNDED
- LOVING (Yes! Yes, I’ll marry you! )
- CAUTIOUS
- RELUCTANT
Chapter: Ghost Story
- During the dialogue between Julia and Alex, as Julia, chose the following:
- CHEERFUL
- SENTIMENTAL
- REASSURING
- ADORING
Chapter: Caskets
- While playing as Alex:
- Once in the kitchen, open the cupboard. Chose TRUTHFUL
- WORRIED
- SUPPORTIVE
- Open the bottom-left casket. SHOCKED

In the "Wreck" scene, Alex must choose a stick (powerhead) when choosing between a stick and a camera... then, when choosing between Julia and a camera, select "Talk to Julia" and after talking with her, select the answer "Romance". In the "Dive" scene, Julia must agree to marry Alex. And lastly...in the "Underwater" scene, when Alex is drowning Julia's double, she must select "Panic (He'll drown!)" and then you will receive a trophy.

Can be done in Curator's Cut . Every time you play as Alex, agree with Julia or support her morally and vice versa. There will be many opportunities to prove yourself. And even a few minuses are not a hindrance to the trophy. I got the trophy when the guys get together (before going to the radio room). Where Julia says that she was attacked by another Alex, and Alex needs to say that he would never hurt her.

They gave her the tenth moral support (green arrow.) After the kitchen, where she got scared, and I calmed her down by saying that it was just rats.

The trophy is variable and can be obtained in different ways throughout the game. Alex and Julia are the most enduring characters, it’s enough just to follow their relationship. Got it in the scene when Alex agrees with Julia not to take the rebreather.
