Silent Hill: The Short Message Speedrun - 31:05.32
Still getting full routing sorted, noticed a few bits I can save time on for the next run, however Silent Hill The Short Message is looking to be a sub-30 minute speedrun! Enjoy!
Took some inspiration from Vintage Valiant's routing video: https://youtu.be/VMWz3b_U3-4?si=PeCkhJSKKQ5_bJXa
Incorporated most of my findings apart from the very beginning turn from VV's routing.
At this current time (01.02.24 / 21:03pm GMT), this is potentially the fastest routing for getting all 5 photos and getting to CB's room

By pure accident, when I continued the game after the game reloaded from when i was in the Character Selection screen (TL;DR - searching for autosplitter environment so we need to crash the game out occasionally), I was able to start roaming around within the coined 'FrontSide' Map of the game.
We upped our WalkSpeed later in the video to explore around the vastness that is the map, in which you can see all the area that is shown in the intro cutscene as well!

A backup strat for M13 to exit into M14 if you are Crouch Clipping only. The normal strat is one of the hardest CC's I've had to encounter with a very low success rate. This backup strat could potential help in cases like marathons or for initially setting splits.

This will be VERY hard to beat at this point. New strats found within Chapter 2 performed in this run, found by BoredOfSpeedruns, overall, this was an incredible run!

Could be brought down further but this is a tied WR against cavecavecave_ / CaveWasTaken's WR in seconds, but new WR with milliseconds on the line!
Timecode added for verification purposes and getting the absolute timing down
