I'm glad you had fun!!! My advice for speedrunning would be to locate the Distortion Gear first and foremost, then try to do some quick looting in the adjacent rooms before starting it up. Items are luck based, of course, but if you manage to get both an Immerbook and then either a Captured Kronie or Gilded Glasses, you might actually be able to just loot *during* the Time Crunch and immediately leave.
