There are only a few days where you must click some items on the budget screen (such as days 11 & 12 where you must burn the EZIC gift, and any day when you wish to upgrade the booth). You can overcome the money difference easily by doing your job well. Just click sleep as soon as the day is over. Forget about saving credits by alternating with bills.Possible future improvements, in order of plausibility: The in-game reckoning of the gameplay time (2:47:08) matches exactly the timing counted manually from calling entrant #1 in on day 1 (first possible control action after intro cutscene) until the Sleep button is hit on day 31 (last possible control action before ending cutscene). You can save average 15―25 credits per day by alternating.Įnd stats: 485 entrants, 255 approvals, 207 denials, 12 detains, 104 citations, 672 stamps, 405 credits, 1 token, 20 naked photos, 48 onscreen deaths. Heating / feeding the family every day is not necessary.This is bad for a speedrun, so I try to make sure I'm always completely done at 6pm. If you have an entrant in the office when the clock hits 6pm, you must work overtime. I chose this to be the one EZIC task that I was allowed to fail and still get the glorious ending. On day 20, I poison the first possible entrant, to end the day in record time.This way I can quickly approve entrant 9's papers on day 9 without studying them. Because I don't give Corman Drex the paper on day 8, (s)he appears again on day 9.This means I can get the terrorist attack on day six faster, and day six will be shorter. I approve Jorji's obvious fake passport on day four, so he won't show up on day six. Jorji always involves lots of talking, and hence lots of time spent waiting.Sergiu is one of these special entrants, and I make sure to kill him as soon as possible, so he won't waste my time talking on any following days. This means that the day will also end so much later. When the first entrant of the day is a guard, the boss, or the blue creeper, clock does not run during their visit.If I seem too heartless when dealing with some particular case, it's just because they talk too much. In general, I choose my denial/approval options for special entrants based on the number of lines the entrant will speak now or later, to maximize the number of entrants I can process during that day.Every day, after entrant 10 everyone is always completely random and unpredictable. Entrants 4, 7, and 9 onward have random and unpredictable papers. Example is day 3, where entrants 1, 3, 5 always have correct papers and entrants 2, 6, 8 always have incorrect papers. I can quickly stamp their passport without even looking at it. Most days there are some special, predefined entrants, who always have correct papers or wrong papers.(Getting 14 citations in a single day costs 335 credits in penalties + 70 credits in missed income, as seen on my Twitch channel.) Because it is entirely possible that you can process 20 entrants without running into a single smuggler, I cannot afford to turbo-approve everyone the heap of citations would grow prohibitively expensive, with a cumulative cost in hundreds of credits. If I do admit a smuggler, they will explode spectacularly and the day will end short, which is a fantastic thing for speedrun. Those days, I usually process regular entrants correctly, but if one would demand too much time, I deliver a random judgment. They are randomly generated after a certain number of entrants have been processed. There's also seven days where an entrant can be a smuggler, who will turn into a suicide bomber if admitted.I try to choose judgments that make statistical sense though. Number of citations is not a factor in the goals of this speedrun time is. There are nine days where a terrorist attack is scheduled to happen during the processing of a certain entrant.Incidental goals (which I did not aim for, but accomplished nonetheless): Fastest possible under these conditions.All family members alive and well in the end (does not matter if they suffer some days during the run).The most glorious ending: Ending 19, member of EZIC, which requires completing four of the five EZIC tasks.I am playing the Linux version (v1.1.67).
