Any% Notes

# Introduction

A guide detailing all of the choices to make during an Any% run. This guide is based off of the Any% world record of 4:33:16 by @Mattmatt. Some optimizations were used from the Any% run by @EliasF.

"Cutscene" means that there are choices, QTEs, interrupts, and combat.
"Exploration" means that you have to walk around to start the next section.

During exploration, it's easy to get lost. I have done my best to explain and have attached pictures for the sections listed below to help show the path to take. However, it may be useful to watch a video of someone going through the section. You can find these trickier sections below (use CTRL+F to find them):
-Prologue: Laura searches for the person she saw
-Chapter 1: Abigail looks around the cabins area
-Chapter 2: Nick explores the Shady Glade
-Chapter 3: Abigail is lost in the woods
-Chapter 5: Dylan and Ryan walk to the cabins
-Chapter 6: Abigail in the pool house
-Chapter 9: Dylan and Kaitlyn search the scrapyard

Sometimes it is faster to fail QTEs rather than succeed. To fail any QTE, either let the time run out or press the wrong direction. When you need to fail a QTE, I list a direction that will fail the QTE, and also note to fail the QTE. To fail a mashing QTE, just don't press any button and let the time run out.

If you are using a controller, I suggest using the D-Pad for QTEs as it is more consistent than using the joystick.
