To everyone trying to get the speedrun medal, your best bet is save scumming. Basically, it's saving at a statue, refreshing, checking the in game time of the save file then either copying it to another save file or overriding it with the other save file, of course you can't override your first every copy so if you are unsatisfied with that attempt, just delete and try again. And no refreshing isn't an alternative because you can't see the time taken of your attempt.

As to what time is considered satisfactory, just try to mimic this video as close as you can https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1Iusw8nUws but replace the timestamps in it to match
6:00, 18:11, 25:35, 33:38, 40:09, 48:50, 55:00, 61:00 . I use 61:00 as the final time just to be safe because the credits might take up to 3 minutes or something like that.

Using this method, the time taken to get the medal should be reduced to 1/10th of it's actual time, good luck because you'll need it.

I can't put into words how much I love this game. I really wish the team the best for its launch in Japan.

Playing the Nintendo Switch version since launch day, it may sound silly but as a casual player/completionist I find myself spending an hour or so hunting lizards and birds for fun. Both the music and graphics are very appealing, especially when they are so tight knitted that the player is immersed into a completely mesmerizing view of what a post-apocalyptic world would sound and look like (kudos on Cosette region, feels homely yet distant). The lore could be easily turned into a light novel and it would be as pleasant as ever.

Love every small detail in backgrounds, today I just noticed a small doll trapped in the white towers' remains. About to have a go at the speedrun challenge, hope I don't eff it up too much.

THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND! Your creation carried me through middle school and i would like to personally give thanks to you for that!

Great game) Now remake is available in Steam with better sprite work, animations, tons of quests, new lore and locations)

I love this game, I seriously do, it holds a special place in my heart, and although I can't really explain why, I'll give it a high score, the least I can do for a game that gave so much to me.
