Objective: Complete the game in under 4 hours, save all 12 savable callers (Leslie, Martinez, Sandra, Maurice, Virginia, Eugene, Murphy, Carrie’s teens except Jimmy, Chuck, Roller Ricky, Jason, Teddy, Peggy), collect all records (12), ads (4), and keys (6), and unlock all achievements except Killer Frequently (requires a second playthrough). Total playtime: ~3-3.5 hours with practice.

General Speedrun Tips

• Pause Often: Hit Esc to pause the playtime clock when checking this guide or thinking. Every minute counts for Forrest Dash.
• Quick Saves: Save manually before each caller (3 slots + autosave) to retry mistakes. Reload if a caller dies.
• Minimize Banter: Skip non-essential dialogue (not listed below) to save ~10-15 minutes. Move while characters talk.
• Preload Media: Load records/ads during calls to save ~5 minutes total. Play a unique record each time (12 total) for Disc Jockey and all 4 ads for A Word from Our Sponsors.
• Inventory Prep: Keep items (e.g., fax, quiz) in hand before calls to avoid backtracking.
• Practice Movement: Complete the tutorial to master item manipulation (pick up, examine, toggle). Restart a fresh save for a clean 4-hour timer.
• Timer Check: Monitor playtime in the pause menu. Aim for <3:30 at the 3:00 AM break to ensure Forrest Dash.
