5 x GamePause Trick

Thanks to **__[FireProof FAQ page](http://www.fireproofgames.com/ios_help#pan-collapse-f90aaf17)__**
We have this 5 x GamePause Trick. (or 5GP in short)
[quote]In the meantime, there’s a hidden system in the game to take you back to a point in the game before the bug occurred. To do that, pause the game and tap the “Game Paused” text five times. That’ll bring up a menu listing some points you can revert to. Choose the Japanese Gallery (that should be the last room you opened). You’ll have to repeat a little of your progress, but hopefully, you won’t have the same problem again.[/quote]
Meaning you can press game pause 5 times for chapter selection and skip forward towards the attic.

On additional, phone "back" button can open the pause menu even the cutscene started, but it will be invisible, so it requires you to remember the menu layout. The sound effect still works, and that's key for knowing are you in pause menu or not.

Glitches and tricks

Glitch an trick in this game? Not much. I define glitches as Fun ones, Useful ones and useless ones.
1. Exit room Eyepiece glitch - Useful
While exiting from any room to doll house overview or some specfic cutsence, you can touch the eyepiece button while cutsence. So end up your in "eyepiece mode" at doll house overview. One less step to do in future.

2. Train poster piece glitch - Useless
At kitchen, water pumped, your able to get bottle in the sink, open it, take out poster and tap exit button same time, you may get into inventory mode but nothing in front, empty, your stuck. Solution: double tab eyepiece button. Way to avoid: open bottle at study room, bug never happen at study room. 

3. Goto Submarine glitch - useful
At Maritime Room, after you get the propeller, pinch out once, double tab submarine direction, somehow you got there. Without back whole room overview.

4. Cutscene still going - fun - useless
At any cutscene, pause, quit the game, cutscene still playing in the background while you are at the menu

5. Go away eye piece glitch - useless
At some puzzles, like submarine map coordinates part, S5W85, if you finish and pinch out immediately, flash, then your eyepiece button is gone, so put the pointer at that coordinates then zoom out once immediately, the game still interactive-able but couldn't go back into rooms

6. Book opening trick - useful
Start at the game, when opening the book cover, you can tab the screwdriver at the right before the book cover falls and enter next cutscene - a zoom in into the book detail

7. Light flick glitch - not recommend
Highly not recommend in submitting speedrun, but here it is. Open new profile, start a game, try to turn on the light, then pause, quit the game, back to menu, "Start Game" button still here. Meaning you can trick mods (include me), pretend to do new game run, then when enter, it glitches abit between cutscene and light flick, the game already though you tried flicked the light, the flicking arrow still here...

8, Back back trick - useful
At last cutscene, between putting the null into the box and the IGT screen, you can press the phone back button to skip the cutscene, doesn't help the speedrun but lower the video time abit

9. Curiosity room chandelier glitch- useful
The curiosity room chandelier which been flipped from foyer room will require push up pin and open a giant eye indicates the arrows around it to be at what direction. You dont need to open the eye and watch the cutscene and directly rotate arrows while its unflip, use eyepiece mode to listen arrow rotate sound effect, you need to remember the arrow direction which is Rright, Rright, Left, Right, Left from the front arrow and do it anti clockwise order.

iOS/Android Cheat% Glitches

(Note: These glitches only work on iOS or Android.)
1. Zoom Glitch
On the third attic level, spin the figure in the curiosity room. Quickly zoom out on the bottom of the screen and it zooms in on the foyer directly below. This glitch saves about 5 seconds in a run. (Tutorial link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LzVjW0v4OdA)

2. Crab Glitch
(Note: This glitch doesn’t always work, and requires the player to perform the Zoom Glitch described above. This glitch is also entirely for fun and doesn’t improve a run.) After performing the Zoom Glitch, spin the figure in the foyer while he is still turning around. This will make him go into the next room sideways, like a crab. (Tutorial link: https://youtu.be/zYbQW9xRqek)

There’s a more consistent way to perform this glitch, though. If you spin the figure in the foyer to a position where he does not go into the next room, he remains sideways. This only works if the player quickly responds to the Zoom Glitch.

TROS Speedrun: How to Laser

What are the difficulties to speedrun this game

1. Hand postioning
This game is knly on mobile (for now) so its hard to position fingure at the correct ti.ing and correct position, while pc have curser so they dont have fingures blocking the view, i highly recommend useing tablets as you can bigger view to know perfect position, but in the other hand, it takes more time to swipe fingure from A to B as because they have further physical distance on screen. Eletric pen is not recommend as there are situation you need 2 fingures to save more time.
2. Shape memorize
There are tons of mini puzzel which are shape based, are harder to remeber, I think the hardest one to memerize is the spiral drawing patterns in The Garden, there are 3 stages, easy to hard to lead the water flow through them. Out, In, InOut. Thats how i remeber it,  outwards, inwards, top one is inwards and lower one is outwards, its hard to explain, just how the "pencils" are how close to the centre, whatever its outwards or inwards
3. Pathing
At The Atic chapter, 3 levels, figure men need to neet up with the lady, its hard to know the mechanics of how he travell room to room, its more harder to find the shortest distace to travel from start to lady figure. Soon i find out its relate whats the unlock room patterns work, and taking  black triangle contianiner order at 2 level and 3 level. So there you have it, remeber by unlock and detroy room order is the way of it.
Theres lot more diffircutlies but these are the main three, remeber and good luck runners.
