Stray - 100% Glitchless Speedrun - 1h23min46s [World Record]

I was dreading this category because of the menuing. Turns out it's not so bad. That run still has plenty of mistakes, unoptimised movements and bad menuing at times.

The existing route was quite good but there were still places for optimisations, around memories and checkpoints in particular. I may have overused the checkpoint resets in some place to get memories. Felt like I had to do it even if it saved only a second at best. For the low amount of runs I have in this category I don't really mind but I agree this isn't ideal.

For Midtown itself, I followed the route from the previous WR. Tried some alternate routing for worker but it turned out impossible to get back in time. After doing some routing for the 100% Unrestricted version of Midtown I think there might be another, better?, alternative by abusing checkpoint reset once more. Doing Bar - Memory(Hairstylist) - Boombox - Badge(Police) is enough to come back to the worker in time. Then, wait in the hat shop to get the checkpoint, grab Memory(Food), reset checkpoint, get vest and finally meet Blazer. This alternative has the advantage to negate timelosses for Memory(hairstylist) and gets the shortest worker cycle.
