Credit to Samwise3s:    • Superliminal Any% Speedrun Tutorial: ...   for the easy tutorial of the glitch.

This was my 2nd speedrun attempt. First try without glitch was around 33 min with a few hiccups. 30 min was a bit too tight for my taste, even though I've completed the challenge mode and obtained 100% of the collectibles and whatnot. I decided to go for the easy route using a glitch and wanted to share it with everyone who doesn't want to spend too much time trying to get the achievement :D

Another potentially easy but useful glitch was doing a Warp on level 2 Optical (see:    • Superliminal - Optical Warp Tutorial   by ArcMage7000). However, it was harder for me to execute consistently, and you really only need one of them to get under 30 min. I'm not entirely sure if the Warp will count towards the achievement, but the one demonstrated in the video (essentially skipping level 7 labyrinth) works as of the July 2024 Modern version of the game on Steam.

Note that I failed to execute the glitch at the beginning of level 7 labyrinth and had to restart the level, but it still resulted in a significant time saving regardless.

You can see I was not optimized in most of the puzzles because I went for the smoothest or easiest ways to execute (without much memorization or demand for precision). This makes it obvious that anyone could do it with the glitch!
