Tricks/Glitches
Quick Turn/Recover
Whenever Jennifer has to change directions, it is quicker to change her direction, cancel her movement, and then start running again. Similarly, when her movement gets interrupted (most often during Hole Skip and Dog Skip), it is quicker to cancel her movement and start running again to get out of her recovery animation faster.
Action Glitch
It's possible to move through Scissorman if you select an object on the screen. This is used during the screen where he is first encountered by selecting the stairs, and then cancelling out of them
Text Skip
Dialogue can be skipped by opening your inventory and selecting different items. This is used to speed up several cutscenes.
Hole Skip
There is a hole on the second floor of the mansion that Jennifer can run through by performing either the Action Glitch (the first time) or the Text Skip (the second time)
Fast Doll
By running to the left past the doll and then turning around, it is possible to get the doll to charge into the wall, allowing Jennifer to escape earlier.
Dog Skip
details coming soon... basically a more complicated version of Hole Skip

Fog: Judging.
Fog: This was a good run, but not something I personally found particularly entertaining. However, the general feedback given from the audience reception disagrees with me here. In this case, I'll side with the audience reception.
