Hi, I'm a runner looking into this game. What categories would be good to start off with and why? (pros and cons)

Hello, I recommend starting with Any% NG+:

• You can choose the order of chapters you run (I do it in order of hardest to easiest - 4,3,2,5,1)
• You are able to skip cutscenes
• No cons I can think of

Of course you can always go with Any% NG, which is the same except you can't skip cut scenes and have to do the chapters in order, meaning it's a more riskier run because chapters 3 and 4 are the biggest run killers.

Always happy to see more runners interested in running this game, so good luck and have fun!

Definitely run NG+ to get thru run killers first and eliminate high risk losses.

All Books is a fun one too if you learn where all the books are. Tons of online guides to see where they're all located
