I play with max monitor brightness, but at the same time the recommended ingame brightness by the developer (which is very dark). So if you can't see a thing, up your brightness.

While the ingame timer isn't shown at the end of levels by default, only when a new objective is given. I finished this level while the display was still up, so it has a concrete time: 04:39. I finished the level at 04:39 and 40 frames, and when 40 seconds should have appeared on screen, if you watch closely, the game decided to display 41. Why would it? Absolutely no idea.

The level is quite simple, run from a to b to c while flipping switches and carrying stuff. However it was still annoying to record. Since the level was simple I was forced to manipulate a lot of luck to be happy with the results. This run doesn't have the optimal draw, the one I wanted but  I still got the results, run without stopping pretty much. I got this draw a lot of times when I was practicing and then never again, the most important parts kept getting the bad rolls, really annoying.

First, the game does not detect you restarted a level with some buttons already pressed (like sprint and forward), so basically you must start and as soon as you see the black screen of the initial fade in press them to start your level. Annoying.

When you land from a height (as in jump), you cant sprint for a while, so whenever it looks like a jump is not done or a more direct path is not taken is because it clearly contains a jump. Like at the beginning, I run on the slope without gaining enough height to make a jump at the end of it.

When meeting the sniper, I sprint with E held, that way I grab the sniper, stop sprinting right in front of the computer and am sure I will interact with it as soon as possible.

I grab the sniper mostly to destroy two alien eggs later without losing much time. These eggs however are a dice roll. There's one egg to destroy per area, and it is random, one of the many eggs will have a facehugger, and since I can't stop sprinting then I must have quick eyes to find which of them it is and then quickly aim and not miss the shot. Otherwise I screwed the run, and even if I kept at it the facehugger would probably be born before I get the second shot and screw up the run some seconds later.

Then comes the first random part, I must hack the antenna, and a facehugger will spawn in one of four spots, only two are good for a run, one screws it royally and the other makes you lose time compared to the first two, and of those I prefer one. The best is when the facehugger spawns right next to the terminal to hack and you take it down with a sniper shot while resting from sprinting one second. On this run I got the second best, when it spawns inside the building and wasted about the same burning it I guess.

Then another random part, when you leave the building three aliens swim in the swamp, in a good, common roll, you only get hit once and recover the damage, here I lost a unit of health which forced me to heal later with no real time loss, but I was pissed still.

Later you are contacted by the administrator and another dice roll. There are three buildings each with a battery, and each with a monster inside: An alien, a facehugger and nothing. I obviously prefer nothing, but out of the other two I prefer the alien since the building I enter (the closest to the drop point) has the facehugger protected from harm until you turn around the desk and then its hard not to get a hug, while the alien I can deal with like on this run. What kept me pìssed however is that the jerks from the swamp followed me all the way here, which is uncommon. So I power up the place, heal while waiting for the door to open and another roll, when you enter the command room you can get an alien like in the run, a facehugger in the middle of the room, or an alien on the other side of the room. The alien close to the entrance is the best option but is uncommon, I would usually pop it with a sniper shot instead of the flamethrower otherwise. And those swamp jerks were still following me, damn them.

When leaving, your predator friend comes to shoot at you but since the game wants you to run away from him I do so. I also run away from the spitters and androids since they let me (a well placed shotgun blast can kill you of course) and get to the next level.
