@Liv I messaged El-nino last week on twitch whisper, seems this seem to be the only way to contact him. Sadly no response, and I doubt he is very active there. Also twitch whisper is not reliable at all
I would like to request mod status to "Secret Files: Tunguska". Current only Admin is El-Nino, who verified the only run on the leaderboard 12 years ago on his own platform adventure-speedrun.com. El-Nino is responsible for several point'n'clicks/text adventures that have been originally posted to his own site, most of them he doesn't run on his own, including the game mentioned above. After being in the speedrunning business for over a decade now, he understandably isn't that active anymore. He was last online on SRDC one month ago according to his profile, there are at least 2 runs awaiting verification, including my own. Both the only runner Nicko and the Admin don't make it clearly visible how the timing should be done, as the runner doesn't display a timer and the Admin doesn't display any rules. Following the general rules on adventure-speedruns.com, the time of nicko doesn't quite add up. My best guess that as an administrator of so many games, El-Nino didn't deal with every single game in detail, therefor a consistency for the run timing doesn't exist yet. The only known way to message El-Nino is through whisper on his twitch channel, on which he last time streamed 4 years ago.
Have you tried playing the game in Windowed? For further help I'd recommend joining the discord server: discord.me/hpsr
