How to register a new Early Access game

Japan

One year after its release, I sent two runs to register a new Steam game, but it was rejected for the following reasons: (Please resend when the full game is released.)

Does this have to wait for the official release of the game? There are many early access games on speedrun.com, but I can't tell the difference from other early access games.

The game you submitted is QUESTROOMS. The game genre is 3D escape games. This game supports single and multiplayer. Currently there are already multiple game modes. Currently, there are already various Let's Play videos. Normal play takes several hours. I thought it was the best game for speedruns, so I sent a video of the whole run and a description of the game. Since there is a game clear, I would like to know the meaning of the release of the entire game.

It means you have to wait for the full release of the game. There's not much more to it then that.

According to the Steam page I found for the game, assuming it's the right one, the game is still in early access and they updated it as recent as December 2020. The site doesn't accept early access games or games that aren't officially released in their final form because it makes LB setup a disaster (among other reasons I'm sure). If this game is added, and in 3 months they add 5 new levels extending the length of the game, then your LBs and all runs are essentially invalid because now an Any% run has 5 more levels that need to be completed. This creates a massive headache for people to manage on the LBs for the game.

You'll just need to wait for the final game to come out and for the game to no longer be in early access.
