Request for new category: Demo

Hello,

I would like to know the reasons why you want this category to be added. The game has now been released 7 years ago, and since the game has appeared on SR.com, all of the runners played or are still playing the entire game.

For me, a speedrun must be to beat the entire game, to come until the end. There is a fiew exceptions, sure, but there are reasons. Here, i don't see the interest to do only the demo. The game is enough easy to don't have to create categories like that in my opinion. A demo, it's just for discover the game. After that, you buy the game, then you speedrun it. And if you're implicated in the speedrun, you don't want to do just the demo, believe me.

Hello ZertYoup,

I am with the two posters above me, but if you feel like doing a speedrun of the demo of Limbo, then go for it, nobody is stopping you. :D You don't need a leaderboard at src to run something. I have done hard route segment blindfolded speedruns myself even though there's no "official" site to show them.

Since the demo is just the first ~3.5 minutes of the game, there's really not much point. Had it been a completely different demonstration, like the Amnesia demo or Half-Life Uplink, the odds would be different. But now? I don't see a point - but as I said, don't let that discourage you from running the demo, if you feel like it and think it could be fun and challenging. :)
