now a game like Sakura Spirit actually has a run with multiple runners! the fact that Doki Doki doesnt have a run by comparison is fucking bonkers! and Sakura spirit doesnt even have minigames like Doki Doki. But to be fair i guess its also because thats simpler to moderate because theres alot of antics that can be done with Doki Doki in the sense that technically it can be the fastest speedrun in history by messing with the files and everything, and just by opening the game, technically the game started so theres no way to figure out when the timer starts. because everything in that game is a part of the gameplay, including the games directory, so by opening and touching whatever, what starts the timer? If you wanna justify it, theres a way to get 0.00 time on Doki Doki because you can mess with the files, but would that start the timer. its a difficult game to make a case for. saying its a VN is a shortcut to not make my explanation.
