It should pause the timer on loads (actual times the game loads, not the load screens themselves) and when you Alt+F4 out of the game. Please test it and consider using this in runs as RTA for PC games sucks (:

Wow, thanks for putting in the effort. I'll give it a shot when I get some free time and try to test it out.
We tested this a little bit at ESA and it unfortunately doesn't work optimally yet.
In its current state the script only counts time you actually have control over Aurora. This means that during small cutscenes where you can't move her and, more importantly, in combat, the timer will not be running.
However Rythin and I have already talked about this and if she's interested in working some more on the script, I'll give her access to my game since she doesn't own it.
