Hey, I have a run I wanted to post but I'm not sure what timing method is used. From what i can tell it looks like: name entry -> white fadeout starts

correct me if i'm wrong. also what controls the time difference between game time and real time?

I've been doing timing from pressing enter on the name entry screen to start the game -> fadeout. I don't know exactly what causes the difference between game time and real time, but I suspect that the timer pauses in the menu as well as on the Heart/Ability/Orb collection screens.
