I was wondering, what people would actually do in that situation. Its somewhat expectable thing in some horror games, but i dont think i have seen the concept explored in this light.

Lets say you get an emergency message to your phone, the one they use to inform people of things like toxic chemical spills, accidents and everything. The message informs you to stay indoors and expressively says that you should not look outside no matter what, but does not clarify further why. And the message is repeated enough times that its clear its not joke/hoax/error.

What would you do?

From past experience : I seem to be one of the ones that actually will not look outside.

One lesson I have paid attention to is when people say "learn from my mistakes", and in this hypothetical, I would first think that we're being told to avoid making a mistake someone else has made.

At least until I find out why we're not looking outside, and can evaluate whether I will look. I'll then promptly make whatever the wrong decision is after learning why.
