    There seems to be a terrible lack of information about this game on the internet, and therefore a lack of info on the achievements. This achievement, as the description states, requires you to beat the game in under 3 hours. Seems like a decently straightforward task ,and not too complicated, as my two attempts were done in just over an hour and a half. However, there are two hidden requirements that aren't stated. These are:

    -You cannot die at all, as a death voids the clock. If you die, you have to start the whole game over, as the game will save the death right as you die, and you can't chapter select for this achievement. So, the obvious route would be to do this achievement and the one for not dying at the same time.
    -You CAN NOT pause the game at all. I found this one out the hard way. There's a few long cutscenes in this game, so you can plan bathroom breaks, etc. around these.

    I used this guide for all the codes and when the chases take place:

    I would highly recommend a separate playthrough for the collectibles/miscellaneous achievements, and to get a feel for the layout of the levels. If you have an issue with my guide, comment how I can improve it, all constructive criticism welcome.

    SoHungeeJust unlocked this while following the speed run video from "Flawless Survivor" - https://youtu.be/Fkpple697Is. I paused MANY MANY times to watch the vid and see the next path forward, and it still unlocked... I did not die, and both achievements unlocked just prior to credits. Follow the video, and it should be easy - took me about 2 hours.

    I just did this right now (1/13/24) by starting a New Game and using the speedrun by BloodThunder
    I paused it twice and quit game twice (to main menu not dashboarding or anything like that) since I messed up twice. I did die once in the Super Tesla Coil explosion area in Chapter 6 but I paused and quit to Main Menu right as soon as the death animation started. I got Faster Than Electricity and Flawless Survivor achievement. Hope this info helps.

    If you just play the game without collectibles you can do it between 1 hour and a half and 2 hours, if you know what you are doing.
