leaving the room ends the tape so unfortunately that wouldn't work, it's a cutscene skip basically

it also says in the rules to watch all the tapes

This was known and it's not allowed in skipless. Just because the cutscene is still playing doesn't mean you're not skipping it

rip

You can't. You're thinking of the subcategories as a hierarchy, where Skipless is the default and you only get moved down to the lower tier of NMS if you break Skipless rules etc for the rest. But all subcategories are actually equal and you only qualify for one at a time. You can only submit to unrestricted if you actually do unrestricted stuff

10 thousand people for the first four months then 2 after that

is this actually a console run? I thought the in game timer wasn't available on console

This is already a category. The leaderboards are sorted at creepy by default (except see ya dad because it's the same no matter the difficulty) you can click the drop down menu and select nightmare

late reply but you're allowed to stand on elevated surfaces to lose animatronics chasing you but you can't use them as shortcuts if they're not intended. so climbing on the hippo magnet counter and tables is allowed but your other examples are not

I don't think that the time is correct

If your risk level is anything above 0 there's a chance one of the four animatronics will spawn

You can take as many breaks as you want but you have to have them recorded aswell and the timer has to keep running. The whole point of a single segment run is that it's single segment. If you really cannot do the entire thing in one go I recommend you go to the level leaderboard. You can submit runs for individual levels there

Is it worth it to play on other languages that aren't English? Obviously Japanese is the fastest but would there be any significant difference in textboxes between English and some other language like spanish or German?
