400 Day Speedrun Route V 1.0 (Soon to be tested)

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1GxyAgsP2_Ckj67vd7cFfdO9dFFscqa82kkWl9K52jes/edit?usp=sharing



There's the link to a Google Docs Slideshow of my route. I'll be testing it during the upcoming days, and will make updates to it and upload a sequel once that's done. But for now, this is something, in case I die of a heart attack or something before uploading V 2.0

Cliff Ending Guide (Any%)

Here's my guide for the **Cliff Ending** also known as the **Suicide Ending**. You will need to collect all instrument parts first to skip time later. Afterwards you take several trips back and forth between the next point where you need to wait and your home cave. This guide assumes you have a basic understanding of the game and mostly functions as a reminder of what to do when. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

# Addendum
You might ask yourself how I can make a guide for a speedrun I have no PB in. Well, I did several attempts and watched multiple attempted and completed runs of other runners. I also played the game casually very extensively. Therefore I would say I am very familiar with this run. The only reason I did not finish a run yet is a bug with the mushrooms. Sometimes the pink mushroom won't grow even if you have skipped enough time. This is a known bug which was confirmed by the developer of the game.

Times when characters go to collect water, for good and bad well ending. 

This is a direct E-mail from the creator of the game, I couldn't find any reliable information on it online so I asked directly. Here is the response:

**The times when a character appears are set by the game and always the same, but which one of them appears is random - so it will also be matter of luck which ending you'll get.**

**The people start going to the well at "midnight" (when the in-game clock is set to XXX:00:00:00) and continue to do so for about 13 hours.**

**Here are the hours after "midnight", a character appears:**

1. **0**
2. **0.849**
3. **1.483**
4. **2.166**
5. **2.716**
6. **3.365**
7. **4.849**
8. **5.482**
9. **6.165**
10. **7**
11. **8.214**
12. **9.482**
13. **10.516**
14. **11**
15. **12.216**
16. **12.849**

**In in-game time:**

**XXX:00:00:00**

**XXX:23:09:03**

**XXX:22:31:01**

**XXX:21:50:02**

**XXX:21:17:02**

**XXX:20:38:06**

**XXX:19:09:03**

**XXX:18:31:04**

**XXX:17:50:06**

**XXX:17:00:00**

**XXX:15:47:09**

**XXX:14:31:04**

**XXX:13:29:02**

**XXX:13:00:00**

**XXX:11:47:02**

**XXX:11:09:03**

**It will then take 777,6 seconds for the character to reach the well and operate the bucket.**
**Good luck!**

[Adding to it, it takes roughly 42 minutes (including 10 minutes of waiting before the dialogue) to get from shades room to the top of the blocked off tunnel (rough estimates on my runs and WR) so you have to plan accordingly for either of the endings.

Edit: You don't need to look at the person appearing, just fully trust the numbers from the creator, the person operating the bucket takes around 1:33 min to operate the bucket so here are the times where you have to be at the bucket:

XXX:00:00:00 → XXX:23:58:27 

XXX:23:09:03 → XXX:23:07:30

XXX:22:31:01 → XXX:22:29:28

XXX:21:50:02 → XXX:21:48:29

XXX:21:17:02 → XXX:21:15:29

XXX:20:38:06 → XXX:20:36:33

XXX:19:09:03 → XXX:19:07:30

XXX:18:31:04 → XXX:18:29:31

XXX:17:50:06 → XXX:17:48:33

XXX:17:00:00 → XXX:16:58:27

XXX:15:47:09 → XXX:15:45:36

XXX:14:31:04 → XXX:14:29:31

XXX:13:29:02 → XXX:13:27:29

XXX:13:00:00 → XXX:12:58:27

XXX:11:47:02 → XXX:11:45:29

XXX:11:09:03 → XXX:11:07:30

Meaning that to arrive there (around) on point you'd have to start walking, from your room at around:

XXX:23:58:27 → XXX:00:40:27

XXX:23:07:30 → XXX:23:49:30

XXX:22:29:28 → XXX:23:11:28

XXX:21:48:29 → XXX:22:30:29

XXX:21:15:29 → XXX:21:57:29

XXX:20:36:33 → XXX:21:18:33

XXX:19:07:30 → XXX:19:49:30

XXX:18:29:31 → XXX:19:11:31

XXX:17:48:33 → XXX:18:30:33

XXX:16:58:27 → XXX:17:40:27

XXX:15:45:36 → XXX:16:27:36

XXX:14:29:31 → XXX:15:11:31

XXX:13:27:29 → XXX:14:09:29

XXX:12:58:27 → XXX:13:40:27

XXX:11:45:29 → XXX:12:27:29

XXX:11:07:30 → XXX:11:49:30

Please don't take my word on it, my numbers are very rough taken mostly from my own runs, and for the sake of my sanity the subtraction and presentation was done by AI]
