Edit 8/8/13: MrWeables beat this run with a 1:37:40 run that can be seen here: twitch.tv/mr_weables/c/2717663
The luck in this run was so good that I doubt this will be beaten easily. The strategy is fairly simple: Get an early bank by completing the Hall of Trials on day 2 and Jade Way after level 4 Merchant (in order to buy a Steel Sword and some good armor for Louie), then use Pin bonuses and combos to level my Merchant level to 18 as quickly as possible.
Along the way I buy red (high-value) items from the guild and market and flip them for large amounts of quick money, and when I reach level 18, I have access to the highest level of items from the guild. Luckily, when these were available, weapons were high-valued and I was able to make 40k-50k per sale, quickly collecting enough money to pay off the debt.
This run was part of a race with M1 (twitch.tv/m1_account; youtube.com/m1account) streamed on http://speedrunslive.com. Feel free to check out my stream at twitch.tv/Azorae, where I speedrun games almost every day. Thanks for watching!

Remember to thumbs up the video if you liked the run, and subscribe both here and on my Twitch channel (http://twitch.tv/azorae) If you want to see a more complete run, check out my All Sigils run at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqbNm10AREg
Weve managed to cut the connector out of the route, and any% is over a minute faster for it! This run completes The Talos Principle in under 12 minutes using a ton of tricks, skips, and glitches. If you believe that speedrunning using glitches is cheating, please post an angry comment on this video. My speedrunning friends and I get a kick out of stupid comments.
Huge thanks to sjcTheos (http://Twitch.tv/sjcTheos) for his research into how paint spawns and can be predicted and Birdoxer (http://Twitch.tv/Birdoxer) for the majority of the route. Thanks as well to Extodasher (http://Twitch.tv/Extodasher) for beating my long-standing record and giving me a reason to get back into any%. Now Im on to improving all sigils and the DLC runs!
Save glitch is OoB")

7/7 UPDATE: NEW RECORD RUN HERE: https://youtu.be/rONDon81STA
Hell Rush is a challenging mode where you must complete the entire game without dying and without regaining health at the end of levels. On the upside, you have a Miracle Katana with 3 uses. Discarding the Katana grants you full HP and a card of your choice. I use this twice in the run for time saves (on Clocktower and Congregation) and kept the third for safety, but never needed it.")

7/13 UPDATE: NEW RECORD RUN HERE: https://youtu.be/WDfS1EFo E
Full game hell rush speedrun world record as of 7/7. Not happy with this run, wasted a katana miracle on a VERY sloppy mirror. could have used it on congregation to save 17 seconds. 34:30 next time
