Audio will sound corrupted due to a Godot bug affecting old Godot versions. The game can be patched to fix the bug. At offset 0x138F9AB of the Animancer.x86_64 file, change the 0x63 to 0x01. This will result in the file having the MD5
fe9892c32e2b12b84fb3abc2c0f1e417. The run will sync regardless of this patch to note.

You have lost your soul. Your goal is to collect your soul, which is split into 3 pieces. You have the power to take a soul of different creatures to use their abilities. One soul allows for a double jump, another soul allows for a dash, and finally one of the souls allows for shooting fire balls.
For this TAS, only the dash soul is used, purely for speed purposes. Most of the game can be skipped with an infinite jump glitch. After you finish an attack, there is a small window where you are able to jump. This renders the double jump soul useless.
The path choosen is relatively straight forward given these circumstances. You are normally intended to backtrack after you have collected souls to collect the final piece of your soul, which is leftwards of where you initially spawn. The infinite jump glitch however let's this soul be obtained early and skip the backtracking.
After this, the infinite jump glitch can be used to get to the high ground of the grass area, where you normally have to go around through the cave to reach that high area. Here the second soul piece can be obtained.
Going forwards, various enemies are encountered, including importantly a dashing bird enemy. Killing this enemy allows for the dash soul to be obtained, letting the player quickly dash horizontally.
It is then just a mad dash all the way rightwards and downwards into the cave where the final soul piece resides. The game is done once the player touches this final soul piece.
feos: Claiming for judging.
feos: Nice glitch, and truly brilliant research, accepted.
To the publisher: Please patch the game file as explained above, or the audio will be broken (I verified).
