Speedrunning
This page describes how to use various features in Cassette Beasts that may be of interest to the speedrunning community.
In-Game Timer
On all platforms, Cassette Beasts features an in-game timer that can be enabled from the settings menu: Gameplay > Speedrun Timer.
The timer counts from the start of your playthrough to the end and persists between sessions. So if you save and quit, and later come back, it continues from where it left off. It will also helpfully display the message "(Cheated)" on your screen if it detects that you've enabled the command console at any time during your playthrough.
The in-game timer will automatically pause on loading screens and during character customisation.
