Me and @gaminator5542 were looking at this game and figured out a way to get to the ending right from the beginning of the game. The intentional route is to go to the sewers, which actually starts the game and starts the in-game timer, which is what other speedruns use. This category does not activate the in-game timer, and is strictly RTA only.
There are no rules to start RTA timing, so our proposals were that timing starts AFTER the in-game load screen ends (because you can move during the "begin your journey" screen and not during the load screen) and timing ends when the fadeout finishes after touching the ending trigger. The precise time with this ruling is 0:51.600 RTA and, well... 0:00.000 IGT.
This route could very well also be known, but there is no documentation on RU-vid for any glitches or tricks, you have to look at the speedrun.com board to see.
