Yeah, it comes down to a lot of save scumming for the most part. That sounds about right though; I just wasn't sure exactly how "pure" of a run was possible because while I'm careful to never make sex that's 100% unavoidable, some of the side stuff leading up to it might be. Definitely possible to beat Khazeem without the cologne though, in fact I think most people do, they never put 2 and 2 together despite the hints. But I deliberately left that open as a possibility, it's just supposed to be so tedious that it prompts you to look for an easier way.
