So I have this game called Deep Sleep, except no it isn't the same deep sleep that is currently on Speedrun.com. It is a completely different game made by different people. I am currently planning on speedrunning it and will eventually submit it but I just wanted to get an idea of what will happen when I do. Here's the Deep Sleep I'm talking about btw, https://itsgeppy.itch.io/deep-sleep .

Just to be safe, I probably wouldn’t submit a run on your Deep Sleep to see what would happen.

In the event that this occurs, usually the game is titled something different to indicate the difference. Like maybe a year is put in parenthesis or some other unique thing like a developer name.

You can still submit the run and game, just make sure to put in the description of the submission that it’s different than the game currently on the site and just shares a title.

In this case, you can submit the game with a name that contains additional information, that separates it from the original game. For example, a name like "Deep Sleep (Itch.io)". In this case, however, you should probably mention the developer name in the title instead. If you google "Deep sleep itch.io", you find 2 more games with the same name, in addition to your game.

In the game submission you should mention there is an exist game with the same name, and that there is a difference between the two.

A similar example that I know of, search "Rock Bottom" and you will find 2 different web games with this name, but they are not related to each other at all.

My advice was I wouldn’t submit a run of Deep Sleep that you have to see what would happen, if your potentially submitting a speedrun of a different game than the one you saw on the website.

Maybe you could talk to the mods of the game about this and see if this is the correct game.

I’m sorry if this is awful advice.
