NaissanceE is a great game and it's easy to get into, but I might be biased because it's the only game I run though :P

Hi The issue is in fact as was described. The 36:05 time I got last year on February 22nd was livestreamed and was validated at that time. Would you be interested in learning the speedrun, feel free to write to me on Discord.

There is one big new strat that allowed this >1 minute improvement over the 2nd place time, which can be found in this clip:

There are some minor variations in strats as well considering their difficulty. It's an unfortunate issue for everyone that the WR vod isn't there anymore but I hope that alleviated your concern a bit.
