You can unlock this achievement by selecting a New Game from the main menu and playing through to the closing credits in a single sitting (no dashboarding, no loading another save, etc.). Oh, also there's the minor point of doing it without dying more than 5 times in the entire run. Here are some approaches to this achievement that I found useful:
1) Don't let the "complete the game in one sitting" part scare you. Once you know the solutions to all the puzzles, this game probably clocks in at about 1 hour and 20 minutes to complete. It's not like Dead Rising's "7 Day Survivor" where you have to set aside an entire day of your life. You may not unlock the achievement until your 3rd or 4th attempt, but still, at least you're able to do that over a couple of days.
2) If you die at all before Chapter 10 (the chapter where you're trying to outrun the flooding water), just restart your run. Chapter 10 is only about 20 minutes into the game, and those first 9 chapters are some of the easiest puzzles in the game. Unless you were doing something silly, there's really no excuse for dying that soon.
3) Once you get into the Chapter 10 range or maybe a bit later, NEVER restart your run until you officially hit 6 deaths. First of all, you never know what might happen. You might die 4 times in Chapter 16, but totally luck out on those jumps in Chapter 23, and that'll end up being the run where you get the achievement. Even if you continue playing and don't get the achievement, the additional practice on the later levels will only make life easier for your next attempt.
4) Chapters 12, 23, and 24 all have timing based jumps that you may want to perfect through Chapter Select before you start a legitimate attempt. I personally found some jumps in Chapters 13, 14, and 18 tricky.
If you need any more help, here are some videos with annotated tips I've uploaded to YouTube of my 2nd "No Point in Dying" playthrough. You'll probably want to click on each video to watch them directly through YouTube, as the annotations can be tough to read through an embedded player.

The best advice I can give is that you should try to have 2 or 3 lives available when you get to Chapter 23 as it will be very easy to slip up once or twice on the fairly difficult gravity jumps.
One tip that I think will be very useful is for the Chapter 24 last jump, If you don't make it the first time, it will respawn you at the exact right time to hit the jump if you start running right away. So if you made it to the end with at at least 1 life left you should be able to get it. |

| One tip I can offer for this game is towards the last chapter, before you break through the "barrier" and complete the game. The gravity switch shifts at certain intervals. Don't mess up and think the intervals between gravity shifts are the same. One thing I noticed was that the intervals changed. For example, I would count to five Mississippi before making a move and I would continue to use this method and end up using all of my lives. It seems that every section you surpass the intervals change, by a second normally or by a few seconds, and if you play this game you know how crucial just one second can be in terms of timing. Whenever you pass through a section, like dodging a gun or flying over saws, re-count the intervals between each grav shift. Also, if you die I have noticed that even if you are in the same "section" the grav shift intervals will change. I hope this tip isn't confusing and wil help you to obtain the achievement. It is definitely a difficult, but rewarding achievement to obtain. |

For those that are still trying for this, a tip I can add among the many other useful ones here, that can help save a life is this:
When you first get to the first Hotel sign, just keep running and jump. If you don't stop during your run, the sign is already timed to turn off at the perfect time.
If you reload the chapter to practice this level, the timing is not there, so you would have to time the jump yourself. Load up the previous chapter to test it out.
Once I figured this out, I haven't lost a life on the sign since. I know it's not that difficult to begin with, but anything to help eliminate a timed jump is good news to me.
Thanks!:) |

The number one tip I've got for people that still don't have this achievement is try not to lose concentration on the easier sections of the game.
Most people anticipate they'll slip up on the water or gravity puzzles, but more often than not this isn't the case - its the ones you're NOT worried about that will catch you out with this achievement.
The first run-through of this achievement I did, I died 6 times. 3 of these were genuinely difficult puzzles where dying was probably acceptable, but I died twice on the buzzsaw puzzle with two wooden crates, and once by simply not paying attention while being controlled by a brainslug and falling in the water - just think, if I had anticipated these kinds of mistakes I would've got this achievement the first time I played through.
Also, do take full advantage of ApatheticCobra's videos, they're a miracle for some of the harder timing puzzles where normally it would be trial and error. Instead, watch Cobra do it and then you know the timing yourself! |

The only advice I can give would be...
1. if you die early on, start over
2. don't expect a guide to be able to help you get this
3. expect to try at least 5 times
4. take BREAKS (when you get a chance pause it and go sit and relax for a second)
5. TIMING TIMING TIMING!!! it's all about the timing at the end of the game- expect to use 3 or 4 lives 5 minutes before you get to the end
6. practice the end of the game a few times, there's no sense in getting to the end and messing a jump up and losing everything you had, you will play up until the final parts at least twice, be ready
good luck |
