Just a re-upload to fix the broken Twitch video
Great job! Guess I better re-instal and get some more runs in hahaha.
Ugh, I edited my previous post and it didn't save. Trying again as a new reply.
Like Shoxx said, it's very hard to track 100% as a category. But there are things you could do like, AllDeaths% for instance.
The best categories are simple to define and allow runners the freedom to develop their own route. By simple I mean give the runner a clear goal (Feed the Dog, Complete a Chapter, Get an Item).
If your goal is view every cutscene, that is doable but a pain to verify. You would need to provide a list of all the cutscenes and where\when they play, even then it's hard to verify because so many of them can be skipped on almost frame 0 of the movie.
What I would suggest is do the run yourself. When I suggest categories, I usually record myself doing it, and explain it while I play. I detail what is required for the category, why and how to achieve\verify it. This gives the mods a much clearer idea of what you are putting forward.
Having said that, It's great to see a new runner interested in the game. Running Phantasmagoria is a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see anything you submit.
Oh this is interesting, I've just got a script that deleted the save on startup for those categories that require a fresh save.
So many runs have died to mis-clicking this little snowman ornament....
It's the real monster of this game, not Don.
Thanks for taking the time to re-time, I'm pretty certain we can get this down to below 2:20.
With the proposed new categories, are we thinking 'completing just the 1 selected chapter', or 'completing the game starting from new game\chapter select'?
I'm sort of good with either. Just wanted to get some clarification.

AdriennsitsOnAllTheFurnitute% haha. (Just Kidding)
Yeah that's really cool, so happy to see another runner for this game.
If you want, I have published my any% path here in the Guides section, but feel free not to use it.
If you like running adventure games you should check out the Speedy Adventures discord. Lot's of helpful folk over there.
Great run! Welcome to speedrunning :) Very impressive time given you did all the science yourself. Can't wait to see your next attempts.
