On 750th room i couldn't continue further so i reloaded my save file the day later. Before i stopped the game the IGT timer was 1:08:17.902 and after i reloaded it was 1:08:46.694, meaning that the difference between the two is exactly 0:00:28.792. Will i be disqualified? I will still upload my run, because i am not sure how active is this place, but you can of course remove it and let me know. Thanks a bunch!

Hey there. Not a mod, but generally speaking reloads are disallowed due to the risk of save scumming, since room RNG is a notable factor of each run.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by you 'couldn't continue further'? Did you encounter a bug of some sort?

No i simply started this run at 2am or so and the time was going later than 3am so my parents told me to go to sleep so i decided to stop at 750 by saving the game instantly after Spooky stopped talking. Basically i let the spooky's voiceline play again, which is why i mention the time difference. And the other day i recorded a 2nd vid just finishing the other 250.

That's unfortunate. That said, the rules specify that reloading the save will disqualify the run. Generally speaking, runs should be one recording, not multiple. Under these circumstances, your run would be allowed to be submitted to the 250, 500, & 750 room catagories if there were no reloads prior, but it would not be valid for the 1000 room catagory.

Understandable.
