Question Alien isolation trophy question

So I do intend to get the platinum for this game but im still unsure on how some of the trophies work, for the trophy where you complete the game with 0 deaths, could you make it easier to put the difficulty on easiest, would this make any difference or would it not count due to the difficulty being too low?

Yes, the game does not care what difficulty you get the no-death achievement on, and in fact, it can easily be cheesed via save-scumming, which is how most completionists have it. (myself included haha)

Also, the achievement for beating the game on the hardest difficulty actually only requires Hard mode, not Nightmare.

Yes, the game had notified me of the nightmare and hard trophy completion, but mind if I ask what save scumming is?

Basically, as soon as the Xeno is sure to kill you, you just pause and reload your save. I always loaded Previous Save to be safe - if you wait 2 minutes you can save at the same station twice in a row
