The game has 6 different weapons (5 considering one is just a reskin) and 2 different game modes (normal and hard) you can do at least 10 runs right there. You can also achievement hunt which will take you a while. You can also speedrun the game which will take you EVEN LONGER if you want good times.

[@AxelGame]

okay so, i went and tried to count how much time you lost due to deaths and early resets. What iI got is that if you did this run again without these mistakes, you would get a time of around 19.53 +/- some time lost/gained with optimization. I didn't count the small things, like not aligning with the elvator so you go through it instantly, and stuff like that, so it could be lower.

Each blade has this kind of hover side effect when you constantly slash while in the air. This blade (I think the Prism Blade), the normal katana and the Savant Knife have the most effective hover times, and I think Savant Knife lets you stay in the air the longest. And you can switch directions while slashing

16:46 you probably know this because it looks like thats what you were trying to do, but you can avoid both the TVs and Leon's attacks if you aren't seen by the cameras. You need to roll to the center tile and then roll again to get out, but you must land directly center. With the other rooms where there is a wire to the TV, jump or jump+slash to cut the wire and the doors should open and/or remain open. Would absolutely save significant time.
