Hello, lovely game from yesteryear now i can play on my couch on my ps5 in my late 30s, wonderful stuff hahaha

Anyway, done turk nalf and sarg playthroughs, working zoe out and then ill try for express darkness achievement.

Relatively little info on this trophy, my main question is
Does pausing the game pause the 8h timer or cani get mid level cups of tea?

Bonus question
Does express darkness require a complete abyss kill chaos get all runes 'good ending' playthrough?

Thanks in advance people!
