Do I have to “New Game” to speed-run Superliminal?

Question

I want to attempt Superliminal's speed run achievements (completing the game in 60 or 30 minutes). Do I have to choose the “New Game” menu option, which has the annoying side effect of resetting the level select and secret-finding progress, to qualify for the speed run?

Kevin Reid · Answer

Starting your run with Select Level → 1. Induction will still qualify you for a speedrun achivement. It also counts for the onscreen speedrun timer, even though Options → Gameplay Settings → Speedrun Timer says “Note: only available through new game”.
Additional characteristics:

If you save and quit, this will disqualify the run.
Resetting to checkpoint from the pause menu will not disqualify but will not rewind the timer.
The pause menu pauses the timer.
